tecniqual question - AUS-CITY Message Forums

with the signal level ubi 3100 box, what is the minimum limit will be enough? my one is max 20 now..

Smyrna, On the STB3100 the Signal Level must be above 55/60 and the Signal Quality must be above 45/50.

can u still watch it? all i can say i used to watch it with 35. dont know if u can watch it if u have lower than that.

so 20 is not enough , how can i improve to the 50?

customer rep, says less than that level u can watch it... so i am still trying everywhere...

sorry says "u can't watch it"

Smyrna, You'll need to get a technician to check the dish for you. The SL and SQ must be at the levels I wrote above. When UBI do a change in the line-up or add any new changes the IRD will not be able to recieve the update stream. Most times if the SL/SQ drops to low levels your IRD will go to Program Not Authorised.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by smyrna: customer rep, says less than that level u can watch it... so i am still trying everywhere... <hr /></blockquote>Check the LNBF. (In brief) Most had dishes on pas 8 and moved them to Optus B3 and if you do this you MUST re-position the LNBF either clockwise or anti-clockwise.

how much should i turn it?

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by smyrna: how much should i turn it? <hr /></blockquote>With most LNB's i have used which are 11300 they usually have the cable pointing straight down towards the ground the cable coming out of the LNB think of it as a clock as the cable should point to 6 O'Clock

ok. i tried it. just wanto ask , with FTA channels showing very well (signal level 50-60) but with UBI box(3100) signal level between 10-25 is it normal?

last time i hooked up my tarbs box i was getin 60% Signal and 65% Quality on my 90cm Just make sure your dish is aligned properly is about it

so did u move your dish or lnb?

nothing i setup my dish for B3 Tarbs Box gives me 60% Signal and 65% Quality for UBI Channels My FTA Box gives me 88% Signal and 90% Quality ( Sometimes higher depending on the weather ) for UBI Channels

ok then i dont have to move my dish out... what 's the problem then?

Why dont u just leave it in the position its in and and just move it up and down and see if that makes a difference as ur elevation might be out

my fta channels gives me 50% -55% Ubi channels signal is only 20 -25% so everything looks normal... i should find another location , but cant my balcony distanced..

If you want just try wat i said about the elevation it might fix it you never know unless you try <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />

thats correct i'll try now and let u know soon...

good luck <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

FTA Decoders and the TARBS Decoders show the SL/SQ differently. The SL must be above 60 and SQ above 45/50 for UBI.

yess now i rich to the level 40% -)

It still needs to be higher. With a SL40 you will not be able to create a contract.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by smyrna: yess now i rich to the level 40% -) <hr /></blockquote>Abit more fine tuning the dish and you should get it higher <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by smyrna: how much should i turn it? <hr /></blockquote>You adjust your dish for the highest signal in the up/down/east/west position also you adjust the lnbf a little clockwise or anti clockwise to peak your signal in. You have to do both adjustments.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by smyrna: my fta channels gives me 50% -55% Ubi channels signal is only 20 -25% so everything looks normal... i should find another location , but cant my balcony distanced.. <hr /></blockquote>I hope you have no tree problems??

You always have two things to adjust. 1/ the dish 2/ the LNBF Skew angle slightly to the left or right.

yeaahh i ve got tree infron of my dish (around 3-4 meter)

and another thing is SQ level is always changing not stable...

Chop the tree.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by smyrna: and another thing is SQ level is always changing not stable... <hr /></blockquote>Trees cause this problem, remember the look angle of the dish is deceiving, its a offset dish <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

bad news for me... i cant cut the trees so what else can i do ... ? there is only one way left. i am selling my box unfortunately

smyrna, Maybe call a qualified technician to take a look?

they want big money (80 bucks) i also tried everywhere since 2 days

and also UBi said if SQ level less than 50 dont have to call us because wont work they said....

Hi guys How to set universalKu-Band LNB in MDS 3100

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Gizmo: Hi guys How to set universalKu-Band LNB in MDS 3100 <hr /></blockquote>More details, please...

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Gizmo: Hi guys How to set universalKu-Band LNB in MDS 3100 <hr /></blockquote>11300 3/4

He`s got ex tarbs box and uni lnb .as i understand.

Yes

I'm pretty sure the tarbs box wont work with a universal lnb on its own You will need to loop it thru another FTA box and put 10600 in the FTA with the 22khz on ans set the high and low to 10600 on the tarbs box as this is the only way it will work as the tarbs box doesnt support the 22khz switching

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Gizmo: Hi guys How to set universalKu-Band LNB in MDS 3100 <hr /></blockquote>I don't think you can use a universal LNB on a 3100, a 3110 yes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

mmmm now what i am thinging now , my Lnb could be problem with my box(3100).? lazersat what you think?

You should use a 11300 LNB with the TARBS box and if u can get a Acer Brand one even better as i find Acer to be the best ones for 11300 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />

yes i've got Acer (10600 -11300) lnb....

Yes well they seem to work pretty good the 11300 ones
