[QUOTE="moordown66, post: 119892, member: 176804"] I have a problem with some transponders on Hotbird which I wondered if anyone could give me some tips on. I posted this on another forum and was told my dish might be a bit off, but I’ve checked it and re-checked it and can’t seem to get it any better. There’s nothing obvious barring the line of sight either. I have a Technomate TM5000 DAPCI. I'm in the SE and have an 80cm dish. Signal strength across the board for Hotbird is roughly 70-75%, however Pic Quality varies. Once it gets down to 20% or below I either get massive pixilation or no picture at all. There are also a number of frequencies which don’t even register, although the signal strength is there. Below is a list of frequencies which I simply can’t receive. I have tried this on a different receiver, also with no luck. 10949v – HB4 – Wide 10992v – HB6 – Europe 11054h – HB6 – Europe 11137h – HB6 – Europe 11200v – HB6 – Europe 11221h – HB1 – Superwide 11283v – HB1 – Superwide 11304h – HB1 – Superwide 11345h – HB1 – Superwide 11387h – HB1 – Superwide 11513h – HB1 – Superwide 11604h – HB6 – Europe 11623v – HB6 – Europe 11642h – HB6 – Europe 11681h – HB6 – Europe 11766v – HB2 – Wide 11804v – HB2 – Wide 11919v – HB2 – Wide 12476h – HB3 – Wide 12564h – HB4 – Wide 12692h – HB4 – Wide 12713v – HB4 – Super 12731h – HB4 – Super What confuses me is that the beams all vary, the actual satellite varies so I can’t find a pattern to go after as such. One thing to note, on some channels, for example Tele Melody on 11034v (Hotbird 6) the pic quality can vary over the course of a day from 20% up to about 40%. Can’t think of any reason for that either, although I’m no expert. Has anyone got any tips that I could try out? It’s immensely frustrating!!! )(-red Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
