Need help wit VTV4 on IA5

dmccarth · #1 (**permalink**) 04-18-2008, 06:39 PM

I have had 2 receivers on VTV4 for some time. The wind moved my dish and had to reset it. I am getting many transponders on IA5 but get no signal to freq 11966 where the VTV4 is. I have checked all my settings and they seem right. I am set for normal LNB, freq 11966, 20k sym rate, Horizontal, but get no signal. When I do Sat scan I get lots of channels, but nothing from freq 11966. Hope someone can help cause this is frustrating. Can someone tell me if there is a setting I have wrong so I can correct and get the Mrs happy again. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Try scanning only that transponder rather than a full satellite scan. If that doesn't work try manually entering the VPID and APID (3105 and 3106).

Remember that the 11966 transponder is weaker than others - you might need to tweak your dish.

Also make sure the FEC is 3/4 or AUTO.

This wasy mistake. I had the Symbol rate wrong. I had 20000 rate and should have been 22000. As soon as I changed it I got everything on the TP. Thanks for responses.
