HD Breaking Up?

[Maz21]

I am having problems receiving a good signal for HD channels on the following Astra transmissions;

2A North 12246.00V
2A South 11791.00H
2B North 12324.00V
2B South 12344.00H

Could it be that my dish is out of line?

Do I need to climb a ladder in the cold?

What sat receiver are you using? A clone DM800 by any chance?

 

[Dave E]

No chance - clones are sorted now Didn't you know?

Since Rev J, nope, K, no wait, L, close, M, warm, N ... another consonant please Carol

Yes it is a clone with boot 75?

Is/ or was there a problem?

 

[Rick1]

Yes it's a common problem on DM800 clones. Try sticking an inline amplifier on your coax, many have reported that solves the problem

but only backwards

Inline amp purchased and installed. Problem fixed. Thanks for your help.

This must be the quickest thread ever between initial problem & resolution,

Yes, beats recent one that started one evening and was resolved 9am next day.

Might not be yet - most people that fit these find their SNR drops significantly, causing problems on other channels/sats (even though the glitching actually stops)!

Hopefully for the op, he won't be one of them
