a lots of BER on some transponder

[sqazilou]

hi there

i am getting trouble with some transponder on my dm500, i got a lot of BER and signal problem only on few transponder of eurobird 28°e. its freezing and i got only half screen or blank.

it work great on an other dm600 with same wire, so i cant figure why its so disturbed.

an other power supply could help ??

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

Could also be a tuner problem is your 500 a clone if so then its definitely a tuner problem

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

you could try increasing / turning on the tuner voltage?

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

are you sure your dish is really well oriented?

you have no BER at all on these transponders with the DM600 ?

Do you have a transponder lock when you are scanning the channels, if not then is a tuner problem, if you do, you will have to check your dish alignment and cable connection.

It could also be a problem on the LNB. It could oscillate at certain frequencies and prevent satellite reception on certain frequencies.

yes its a clone

you could try increasing / turning on the tuner voltage?

where i can do that ??

yes it is i have 0 BER with my dm600

transponder is locked for 5-10 seconds then unlock and BER increase

It could also be a problem on the LNB. It could oscillate at certain frequencies and prevent satellite reception on certain frequencies.

maybe but so i wouldnt work at all on a dm600 ?

thanks for replys

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

And what about the receiver to connect to another dish, LNB, cable? This would reliably exclude a mistake on your receiver ...

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

you can increase the tuner voltage in the Tuner configuration, depending if your dreambox has this feature, i know the dm800 has.

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

i found out that i got only BER on vertical transponder, all horizontal channel working great

so its a tuner problem ??

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

I'm afraid you're right...
what rev of tuner is it?

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

where can i get this info ?

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

It is usually written on the label tuner.

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

i bought two dm500 clone one is perfecly fine & the other one not, never buy a china made clone !

Re: a lots of BER on some transponder

was thinking of buying a clone but not now, only a suggestion, try it on a friends set up if no probs with his, then you know box is wrong but if other box on your set up working ok, then problem most deff faulty box i think. good luck
