I still don't think the dish is the problem even with the cable there.
With BH you must upgrade via USB each time but there are two ways to backup and restore your settings.
1 Use Black Hole backup
2 Use software manager to backup
Both work very well, I use the software manager backup and after loading the new image my settings can be loaded straight away, total time to flash a new image and have everything running as it was takes less than 10 minutes.
Let me know how you get on.
For some reason, I don't find where to download the cam and the catseye config file. I just installed BH 1.6.4, then I upgraded the FPGA from the web, then reboot, configure the LNB (simple, Astra, no DISEq).
On the SW download center, it tells me there are 4 updates but couldn't figure how to select them to get them installed.
Where should I find the catseye file? Should I first scan and then apply catseye or 1st apply it and then scan?
I did check the satellite manual with 12207V,27500,2/3,8PSK but still no signal.
Thanks
Xavier
PS I will configure the ssh access if I find where and try and ipkg update/upgrade
