hi guys,new to this...pls help,my xtra view installation Wizard says my signal too week to complete final step now what?Geoff, I'm putting in a completely new cable from primary decoder to sec decoder, being less than a hundred bucks for the R36m this was non negotiable and I was keen to have no joins to prevent any drop out or loss of power given what i understand is border line distance for a HB cable, you would know better than I . We have channeling in most rooms and bar one section of the roof which will now go into conduit so the new cable installation should be pretty straight forward. Although the distance is +/- 33m, I tested the full 36m+ roll and it was 100s, thankfully.
I hear you ``Satellitking'. However getting in DSTV referred installers is a lottery I have found. In the passed I have been shocked by the poor quality of workmanship, if you can even call it that, they have scant regard for doing a neat job and respecting your roof and the waterproofing. I've had folk arriving here with almost zero tools, not even a hacksaw and they were using a pair of pliers to cut conduit, until I leant them mine. Bashing big nails into the waterproofing of parapets was another irritation. Only when I did this minor installation myself, mainly to protect my roof, did I discover the shoddy work that has done before, such as the one outside join on the coaxial where no barrel connector was used just electric tape. Holes drilled through a wall were completely skew, tools and other technician detritus were left in the gutters or blocked downpipes . I wont bore you with further detail

Try and manually set up the UBs and frequencies. If that does not work then you will have to find out why the signal levels are poor.
What does your install look like? please describe.

Cut the power to BOTH decoders. Disconnect the HD PVR2P from the SLNB ( I am assuming you have an SLNB installed?)
Restart the Explora absolutely on its own. Set the Explora to Decoder 2 settings if it boots up. If it refuses, you have a serious cable problem, a dead SLNB or a very badly aligned antenna that needs fixing.
Once the Explora is back and working (It should be the Primary in the combination), you can now only reconnect the HD PVR2P tp the SLNB and power it up on network default settings ( SATCR Universal)
