Re: Signal and Quality suddenly crap

[bobneff]

Hey Devanchya:

I have the same problem using a CS 7100. Noticed the last few code updates my signal will go weak or non existant on some channels, what I'm noticing is 110 doesn't show any more. Tried moving one of my LNB feeds to a different port on my Diseq switch, post results of that later. I've also gone to the latest facotry file as well to see if there was a corruption problem, that didn't yeild any results, unit still acts the same. It really acts like a I need a new file or the autoroll doesn't work very well anymore.

signal going weak is a loose connection some where ,it could also be the switch itself. your lnb could also be going bad.and we are still waiting for a new file

[bobneff]

I think the new file is probably the answer.

if you just need a new file that should not affect your signal and quality, they should not change.
read this:

quality and signal

quality- this bar indicates the signal the dish is picking up from the sat.
eg; echostar 7, nimic 1,3 etc... if your dish is not aligned you will not have
quality but you could have signal.

signal- this bar tells you the status of your connections including your coax,
all ends on the coax, and your switch. if you have no signal you cant pick up quality so both will read 0.

always check your settings and connections first and always turn your stb off before moving, changing,
or disconnecting anything.

now try these things:

signal and quality issues


if you are having problems with signal or quality try these steps:

* do a hard reboot with the switch on back.
* make sure you have the right sat selected in your antenna settings.
* check your antenna settings to be sure they are correct.
* check all your connections including the switch to be sure they are tight and working.
* if your quality is low or 0 you may need to align your dish.
* make sure you have the latest bin file.
* try different lnb types to be sure you have the right one.
* before moving, changing, or disconnecting any cables turn your stb off with the
switch on back.

post back with results.

my cs is working great with old file when it comes to signal and quality,it has not changed ,you are sure you have settings correct?

[bobneff]

119 has great signal and quality, nothing changed for 6 months. what channels are exclusive to 110?

[snakebite]

there has to be something different if your signal and q took a hike,maybe lnb for 110 is the problem.my cs is up now and getting all channels but freezing on and off.

old bin file wont affect ur sig/qual,,like the boys are telling u,, u have re done ur boxes files and still no 110,, its either ur antenna settings for that sat,, one thing u could do ,,is turn ur box completely off,, if ur just using single lnbs ,, hook directly to the 110 lnb and bypass ur switch,, turn off ur diseqc port setting for that sat,,and see if ur getting anything that way,,,if u are,,then its probably ur switch,,u could try using a different port on ur switch,,and adjust ur settings in ur box,, it will most likely work till ur new switch arrives ,, if hooking directly to the 110 and it still dont work,, check ur connectors quickly,,move ur 119 lnb into the 110 slot,,and see if 110 comes in,,that will check to see if its the lnb or not,,
