Re: no signal on 8psk channels

Have you tried your 22Khz ON and OFF?

Re: no signal on 8psk channels

It is all over the net about Hotbird that they have been experiencing some problems with some of the transponders in the last few days and are working to fix the stuation

Re: no signal on 8psk channels

Have heard somewhere before that sat hackers have attacked hotbird to block some channels. You can get signal on these transponders but no picture. I think some of the network are fighting for business and and have started a war with each others. As digicon mentioned that they are woking on it and will fix the problem in the near future.

I'm quite informed about it ( http://www.satlover.eu/forum/satelli...n-hotbird.html ), but as far as I know this problem is not affecting any 8psk transponder.
What did you mean about fighting for business?
That's not the problem, read some info here:

Do you have better results on other 8psk channels?
Or does the problem exist on every 8psk-transponder? This could be another problem.

Re: no signal on 8psk channels

First thing I'd do is try a rescan. Maybe channels have moved about?

Re: no signal on 8psk channels

If you do a blind scan, most of the frequencies are found that way. Do you get the SD versions of those channels?

hi gcms

Can you test with another box to see if reception (+ setup) is ok? So it would mean the problem is the box itself and you can look further there - as said here above: do you have the same problem on other satellites and on all TP's 8psk on Hotbird? Also check on eg lyngsat or king of sats it the TP is active and well entered in the box itself.

Re: no signal on 8psk channels

The problem with 8psk-signals (3bits / symbol) is that they are a bit more sensitive than qpsk (2 bits / symbol) so that sometimes you have good signals with qpsk and bad with 8psk. Another reason for this effect is a too high absorption from cables, switches, plugs...

@gcms,
we would like to hear back about your problem if you have orted it yet?
I was just thinking if you are using any Diseq switch for this dish? Try to connect it without involving DisecQ and see if you can receive the channels.
Give us feedback.

the same problem on every 8psk channel

Re: no signal on 8psk channels

I don't get good signal on HB so can't really check it myself but are there any other members who are having the same problems. Perhaps HB enthusiasts can check it for you so see if they receive the same channels. If everyone has the same problem then we may have to wait til HB team sort it out.
By the way are you using any Diseqc Switch?

Re: no signal on 8psk channels

hi

Just tested and ok here:
- SuperTennis HD on 11096H - DVB-S2 - 8PSK - 29900 - 2/3
- BFM TV on 12692H - DVB-S2 - 8PSK - 27500 - 3/4
I noticed some have a strange S/R -> is your TP well entered in your box?
