Hi all, I am working on a vessel where we have a SeaTel TVRO system (offshore UK, connected to astra 28.2e), I am looking for advice on what the best settings for DAC-2200, namely in relation to frequency and baud rate on the DAC. I haven't been working here for too long but its been an ongoing issue getting stable reception since way before I joined. Since recent vessel location change we had nothing so I have been doing lots of reading and tweaking and feel like I am making good process, I would just like confirmation of the best settings for the above or any other settings I may have missed, as we have one transponder on one of the DVB tuners which will not lock to FTA channels and a couple of popular sky channels that are glitchy.
System consists of SeaTel Series 4 motorised 40" antenna with Seatel quad Ku band LNB (SeaTel PN 132463), SeaTel DAC-2200, RF signals going through multiswitch and split between 24 off Sky TV boxes and IPTV server with 8 x DVB tuners. Link between dome and rack is Foxcom FO converters both ends, I have adjusted RF gain at receivers and think signal levels are good, the channels that are working are working well.
I cannot find any information about what the frequency and baud rate settings should be, as I understand the DVB tuner settings will take care of the FTA signals so the TVRO settings should be geared more towards sky TV system? Current settings we have are as below:
28.2e
Freq - 1555 (Don't ask me how this has been settled upon, multiple people have changed this in the time I have been here, with any reason or rhyme, I don't know!
Baud - 27500 (See above!)
Tone - Off
Voltage - Horiz
FEC - Auto - I have changed this setting to auto last night, previously it has been observed to have been set at both 2/3 and 3/4
NID - 0020 - During last nights changes, after changing FEC we were getting solid NID feedback so I have set to track by NID and appears to be working well
POLANG - 0078 (Auto) was set to manual before with POL set to 0098
Reflection - A
Thanks in advance!
