can anyone get cbs action with any box as we get no signal with a Openbox and a sky sub box it is supposed to be on 11222H27500

Its working here on 11222/27500/H using sky sub and FTA box
 
thanks dogtoffee any idea what could be causing it all channels on that frequency are glitching or no signal

Either the dish has moved or you need to tweak the lnb m8
 
working here too with tm800
 
ok thanks guys luckily it is in reach without climbing as i live in a bungalow should the spirit level fitted on the lnb arm be level as it is slightly off center

I have tried moving the dish by small amount's and the lnb angle but there is no difference I still get no signal it used to be ok could the lnb be faulty

if you have only lost about 8-20 channels in total, its possibly inteference, try turning off everything that broadcasts, wifi router, ps3, wii, DECT phones and see if the channels come back. if they dont, then it could be the LNB starting to fail, only replacing it will tell you if it is this. it could also be damage to the cable, but this would be hard to find as itd probably be a kink, and again, onlt replacing it would prove wether or not it is that
 
thanks digidude if you remember some time ago i had a problem with hd channels on high frequency not working when i had the sky box and my openbox both connected on seperate feeds from the quad lnb at the time you suggested this would cause the lnb to fail as one was shorting i now only have one connected at both ends of the cable ie i have disconnected one cable from the lnb

thanks to digidude for selling me a new LNB I now have all channels back so anyone with similar channel signal loss problems look at changing your LNB

thank you digidude

update 11222 h 27500 are alright in the morning but by 4:00 pm they are giving no signal errors again this really getting me angry now i have replaced the LNB realigned the dish so that in the morning i had signal strength of 87% and signal quality of 40/56% at 4:00 pm no signal at all was registering

seem to have done everything m8,it could be taxi/pizza companies using radio's or even ham radio broadcasts
i had this years ago and by moving dish it sorted the problem.
digidude will know better ?

check for neighbours cars coming home at around 4pm m8. id imagine itll either be a convertable car or one with a radar detector in the window

if its a convertable, youre pretty screwed, these use a form of microwave bubble for the alarm system to protect the inside of the car when the roofs open, and thisll be knocking the frequency out

if its a car with a radar detector, these are usually mounted in the windscreen, and plugged into the fag lighter socket, and the ignition dont kill to the power to it, and this is knocking out that frequency, and you may be able to ask whoever owns it to unplug it when they get home

the only other options are to relocate, or shield the dish.

shielding may not work, at youd need to shield the dish from below, but if its picking up from a reflection, then other than covering the bottom of the dish with 1/4 of a steel oil drum, you may never work it out

if the dish is on the front of the house, moving it around the side (if possible) may work, but normally moving it so the opposite side of the house, so youre using the house as a shield, normally solves 'timed outages' like this

is it off from ~4pm untill the next day, and off most weekends m8?
 
hi digi the dish is mounted at the back of my bungalow just below the eaves the house behind us is about 20foot higher up a hill there are two small trees through which the dish is pointed at and above the chimney of the house behind us at an angle sort of like aiming to kick a goal in rugby from about 20/30foot across from the centre there are no cars involved as the back gardens are ajoining we lose the signal from about 4pm but it does not make any difference what day of the week it is today i am going to try not turning the box on until after we normally lose the signal in case it is overheating although open boxes run very cool

I dont understand why it is ok until the box has been on for about 8 hours

thanks for your input

100_0030.JPG this is the view from my dish the LNB is in view and dishpointer pro indicates that 28E is over the chimney between the trees

well it isn't anything to do with over heating because when i turned the box on at 9:30 am it was glitching so i turned it off and at 3:45pm i turned it back on and it was glitching could it be too long a cable run it is shotgun cable which is thrown over the roof from front too back and there is a lot of spare cable rolled up

but this only started happening in the last 2 months and it has been up for 17/18 months

edogg
 
if it goes over the roof, its possible that it may be damaged where it lays on the top of the roof m8, over time, little movements will wear the outer coat away, allowing water into the cable. when its wet, itll change the inductance of the cable, and as the shotgun stuff is foam filled, it can also act as a capacitor for a while after it stops raining as well

try a new run of cable through the house, just to eliminate that
 
hi digi this morning i have tried a short run of cable to the bedroom using some virgin media cable approx 2M long to the bedroom tv and although the signal was better than yesterday upto 50% quality it still had some picture breakup it is now back on the main cable and the quality is between 40 - 54% and i haven't seen any glitching

I dropped the box in the bedroom effectively giving it the boot up the backside

edogg

edit it still pixelates and the sound stops but not as bad and i haven't changed anything since yesterday except dropped the box
