Ditching DSTV Connecting OVHD but Problems

[GalleySlave]

I have a smart LNB with DSTV Explora in one room and OVHD in another room - both working fine. Now fed-up with DSTV and replacing Explora with a second OVHD decoder (using existing LNB cable). No signal on new OVHD. Any ideas?

I think you need to change the cable connection on the LNB as i suspect it is not on the legacy connection.

Thank you, you're right. Success! Turns out the DSTV Explora is meant to be connected to one of the four "unicable" ports on the Smart LNB. The OVHD decoders each need to be connected to one of the 2 "universal" ports. I changed the cable connection as you suggested and, Voila!
