Hi all,
I'm trying to get my TNTSAT box working. I bought it approximately 5 years ago and it used to work just fine, but I stopped using it about 3 years ago when there was a problem with my dish.
I want to get this up and running again, so yesterday I got a guy in who changed the LNB and realigned the dish to 19.2E. We confirmed the signal was good and saw some FTA transmissions using his diagnostic equipment.
However now when I connect my decoder, it just says no signal. I do have a little satellite signal/meter and if I connect that in line it beeps and also shows a good signal, so I'm confident there is a good signal coming from the lnb/dish.
Can someone advise what the configuration settings should be, that I need to have in place on my decoder to get the TNTSAT channels?
The decoder is a SAGEM TNTSAT (ISD91) (link). In the settings there are two pages for configuration:
LNB installation
Alimentation LNB YES/NO (Currently Yes)
Frequence basse 09750
Frequence haute 10600
Transponder installation
Modulation DVB-S/DVB-S2 (Currently DVB-S)
Polarisation Vertical
Frequence 11856
Debit 27500
The box certainly used to work, however I don't know if there have been any changes in the transmissions since the box was working last, so I don't know if these are still correct? Could someone confirm what they should be?
On a separate, but possibly related subject, I should have a valid viaaccess card (it is not due to expire until the end of 2018). However the box does displays a message saying the period of validity for the card has changed and it now expires 01/01/1970!
I'm working on the principle that even if the card was invalid, that shouldn't prevent the box from receiving a signal, however maybe it doesn't work like that? I am due to be in France at the end of July, so I can request a new ViaAccess if necessary and collect that in a few weeks. If that is the problem, maybe I need to wait until I get a new card and leave the transponder configuration alone?
Any thoughts?
Many thanks
Jason
