Thanks for the quick replies all, appreciated. Today I tried a universal single LNB on my dish with the Humax recorder, but again when I used a sat finder (both an electronic and analogue finder) it did not register that it was receiving any power. I'd have that that with the receiver on it...

Hi brk1. I have exactly the same problem as you had. I've bought a Humax-HDR and a satellite kit from eBay (MK4 dish, with a Zinwell J4S Quad LNB). Once I set everything up I got no signal being displayed on either of the tuners on the Humax diagnostics page. When I plug my sat finder in...

Yeah, I knew it was over 2 years old but I thought I'd try my luck. Perhaps he still has the same e-mail and might get alerted. Its a desperate attempt to get some advice as I have a similar problem and I don't fancy paying >£800 (ouch!) for a powerflush!

Ok, I'll try moving the lever as per your instructions tomorrow. I suppose my only question now is, after following your instructions how will I know if the valve is broken / needs replacing? Also, as before I appreciate the quick response. You're a credit to this website!

Cheers for the quick reply dextrous! I need some clarification regarding your posting. So if I turn the hot water on, do you recommend me moving the lever? You say that it will pull back into the closed position when instructed by the timer/programmer but how do I know when it is...

I have a Honeywell 2 port valve (which looks like a silver box) which is situated close to my boiler. This valve has a small lever at the bottom of it. What I want to know is does this lever move when the valve is in operation? Im sure it used to but at the moment it does not.... ...which...
