Hey,
I was looking around internet, trying to diagnose my problem but nothing I've found was useful so far.
Some details:
I have a SMT-S7140 receiver from Viasat. It is HD and it is connected with 2 cables coming from the satellite LNB, dish itself is 1.2 meters in size. It was installed few months ago but I didn't really care about HD channels, since it only has around 5 of them, but hey those are some great channels...Viasat Motor HD, National Geographic HD, MTV HD and so on.
The problem:
Basically once I got on Viasat Motor HD channel, I get 'No signal' message. I then go to check the signal for that channel, and I get the results as shown in the first picture which I have uploaded.
Now if I go to non HD Viasat Motor channel, it has 40% power which I guess means signal strength and I can watch the channel with no problem in SD even though it has no quality strength.
So my problem is really not having enough quality nor strength on HD channel...can anyone guess why is this happening? What can I do to fix it?
Do I need some kind of better LNB? Bigger dish?
I am really bad at this so if you need some information, please ask and I'll try to provide. THANKS
