Sat 2040 and symbol rate

1kewlcat · #1 (**permalink**) 12-30-2003, 02:13 PM

Hi, can someone help me understand the symbol rate feature a little better? I can receive some digital channels by entering in all the information listed on LyngSat. One of the specs I have to enter to get a channel to work is the symbol rate or SR listed on LyngSat. All the channels with a high numbered SR work fine but some channels have a really low SR like B-Mania on Telstar 7 which shows a SR of 1. Also I can't get any Radio signals which coincidentally have really low SR. The Satcruiser wont let me enter anything lower than 1000. Is this a limitation of the receiver or am I just going about it the wrong way?

Thanks!

i just checked out lyngsat, the correct sr for that channel is 19510, 1 is the video pid, also, that channel is c-band(6ft dish or larger)

Just to be clear here, these channels are DC2, which you can't get using DVB receiver.
