hi guys i have a dm800hd with the alps bsbe2 tuner using usuals i have a motorised system and can recieve all sats from 30w to 42 east bbc1 on 28.2 is 100% but Sky comedy is 84% the problem is the channels that are 84% and there about are breaking up i did think it was hd channels at first but the problem seems to be with the low snr the ecm times are 0.602 other channels with higher snr are perfect
i have been on positioner set up and cant increase the signal any more

could any one suggest how to fix this
 
Some channels will be lower snr, they wont all be 100%, and i would say your ecm time is to high to get uk channels perfectly, is that an internal lan? or is it from a server? If it's a pay line then that would be the problem more than likely, and if it's internal then ecm is to high.
 
0.136 is my ecm time but im losing channels fast.

Some have full 100% snr and others 0% all bbc channels have gone and itv and some other channels....

Watching gold atm and thats fine.

Wonder if its snow on the dish!?
 
Is it snowing heavy were you are??? if it is that could be the problem. More chance of that if you are using a sly mini dish?? Pillhead your ecm time is fine.
 
fairly.......but the picture isnt breaking up like on my proper sly box its just dead......

watch is fine with 100%snr and 0.138 ecm time...

So how come other channels get 0%
 
Well it's not happened on my Dm but on my normal sly box and mini dish when its really bad weather i still get some channels, but not them all, i just get a blank screen saying NO SIGNAL, so i do reckon that is the problem. It must be dependend on transponders or something, but the last bit is really just a guess why

ok guys just to clarify the ecm time i told you was the worst channel
since then i have checked ecm times and can confirm there between 0.100 and 0.300

i also told you about the snr heres what i done
i have changed my longitude setting by o.2 up or down theres a giude fine tuning your satellite dish
and can now confirm my snr is great with no freezing and no hd glitching its true what they say about my glitch free tuner after all
in some cases its easy to blame the box
is it a glitch is it signal is it overheating is it ecm times check all these out first
and thanks for all your help
 
so your sat dish is not alighned then? and the box allows for that ? is that it? as im a learner?

first and foremost the dish is really important bbc world at thor 0.8 west is a good starting point when you have been outside adjusting the dish and can no longer improve the snr its time to have a play with other things and dont forget the lnb skew
i'm also a learner and have been in the sat section now for about 2 months jump in and have a go thats the way you learn

p.s sorry about the caps i'm not shouting
 
Yeah if if you have fine tuned your signal via the longitude, then your dish is needing fine tuned a bit, but if it's working that way then that's the main thing.
