Hey Guys, Well I am not getting any signals on the signal meters not even the 0 its just showing the -- symbol on all the tps, what could be the problem? Anyhelp would be highly appreciated.

Thanks


I've just learned that it is nothing to worry about because the new satellite is not supposed to be active until the 19th. I hope that answers your question.

[generalpatton78]

Which adjustments did you tweek?

Thanks,
Pat

First the elevation and I got nowhere with that. Then I adjusted the nut with the numbers around it on the right side of the dish if your looking south from behind the dish. I went from 6 to 0 on it to get the better signal. I'm pretty sure it moved my dish to face east more. I'm sorry to sound like a noob but I've never worked on this dish. I've put up multple single,dual and triple LNB dished but this set up was completely different but was very easy with the new "levers". I might also need to point out I have the slimline.

PS I am in So Cal

Do you have the right hardware? Do you have the BBC connected? Do you have the new multiswitch? Do you have a h20 or hr20? If you know for certain it's not any one of those then your dish isn't aligned correctly. It could be bad BBC's as well. I'm betting you don't have the right multiswitch or you dish is miss aligned.

Yea, I have put up the others too but never worked on a 5 lnb. I thought I had the slimline too (that's what the installer told me) but after looking on D* website yesterday I noticed it is the older one but I imagine they both tweek about the same. I will try tomorrow to get my siginal up because it is only 73. Maybe D* will still be testing.

Thanks,
Pat

[turbrodude]

I just had 27% in Los Angeles. :(

[cygnusloop]

They are definately futzing with this thing.

About an hour ago, 88%
About 10 minutes ago 74%
Now 56%

No weather about here.

EDIT: 2 minutes later gone.

After about a minute, back at 75%, and dropped slowly over a minute or so, back to 50%, then gone.

I wouldn't read to much into your current signal strengths.

Thanks for the reply,

I have a Hr20 - 700 and I get the searching for signal message on ch 499 so I think I have the BBC connected properly, I also have the multiswitch, and its just not 103b giving -- symbol its on all the sats 101 and 110 and 119 etc and oh I am able to watch my current programing just fine.

I made a rough map of signal strengths from everyone here. Looks like most places are getting a good signal. There's only a few really low signals, probably misaligned dishes.

[tbpb3]

LONG BEACH,CA

[ehamilton]

It seems like SoCal has some rough, low signals - I am at 52 in L.A.

[cmwsatfan]

I'm pretty jacked up now that I finally get to see the signal for the first time!!! I get 95 on TP11 in extreme southern Louisiana.:hurah:

[cforrest]

I guess the next few days D* is going to be tweaking D10, I'm sure more TPs will be turned on as well. Hopefully by the start of next week (Monday), some channels pop up, with everything deployed by the 19th!

[cforrest]

I just went from 42 to 97, now I am watching it slowly decrease, at 82 now. This will go on for the next couple of days. Let the fun begin. 90+ now and rising.

[wesv]

Has been showing 80 for a couple of hours. hampstead MD.

[tbpb3]

Must be our location.
I get 36-38 on tp 11 here in Long Beach
All other sats read in the high 80"s and 90"s
what do you think

[~mudd]

95 on both tuners here for tp11 - southern NH

[superfan1]

Yep looks like allot of tweaking going on.. Mine went from 95 down to 58 now back up to 82%
here in Richmond VA...

Definatly dont go out and do anything to your dish right now...

They are doing some major tweaking it appears because I went from 95 down to 0 then to 82 back to 95 and now 66..

[SParker]

Back to 95 LOL, now dead...

[superfan1]

Back to 95 LOL, now dead...

yep here too... for the moment that is...

[Bayou-7]

I've been getting 70-80 here in New Orleans, based on output from my HR-20.
On the otherhand, my readings on 103(a), where I see my locals, are consistently at 67-69. I never have a problem with the reception of the locals; they seem to be as reliable as channels on 101 amd 110 where readings are in mid 90's.

People seem to be concerned about signal strengths on 103(b) that are in the 70's. Based on what I'm seeing on 103(a), would these 'low' strengths on 103(b) be much of a problem?

[seminoles2425]

98,95,89,82,75,71,69 were the readings I got in the last five minutes here in southeastern Virginia.

[SParker]

about 58 here now and it keeps going back in forth to not acquired. Looks like 58 is the threshold for me.

[cdavis0720]

Was getting 96 earlier tonight. Currently using the signal meter I am bouncing between Not Acquired and 58 - 60 on Tuner 1 and nothing on Tuner 2

[bobojay]

Just checked. Mine is at 58 to 60 here in eastern Kansas. First signal I've seen on 103b!

COOL!

[tbpb3]

just a question
Where are they testing?
Are they in El Segundo? thanks

[purtman]

I was at 77/79 earlier buty I'm back at zero. It did seem to take a while at T11 this time even though I received a zero.

was back up to the high of the day here of 95 then back to Zero...

[Greg Alsobrook]

i'm back to 0.. i had a 96 earlier on t11... but what i find interesting... is when i go to the signal levels... it flies through the first 10 zeros... then hangs up on 11 for a couple seconds.. then displays a zero and continues on through..

We're bored on a Friday night let us play...;)

[Rankor]

I got 68% when I first tuned in to tp11 now it has climbed to 91 and it is dropping again they must be tweaking it

[Rankor]

I wonder if they will turn it on at midnight pacific time.

[EaglePC]

looks like there going to do one transponder at a time.
TP11 could hold 8 to 10 Channels i believe.
this could be are first wave of HD

[mammut]

I wonder if they will turn it on at midnight pacific time.

We can hope but signal strength seems to be bouncing around up here in Seattle to much. I hope I am wrong..:)

[EaglePC]

same here signal bouce everyone is seeing this.
it is call level of power for them to put out.

[mammut]

What's amazing to me is they have this much control over the signal strength and we can see the amount dance around in real time while they adjust.

[TheMerk]

I've only been watching the signal meter for about five minutes now, but it's gone as low as 54 and as high at 90 in that time!

BTW, I'm in SLC.

edit: it just went to 0.

[mammut]

Back down to zero here. Maybe done for the night?

Spoke too soon. Back up...

so i wonder why i was able to see a signal on 103b t11 earlier tonight... but it's been at zero every time i have checked it in the last few hours... but you guys are still seeing signal..

is anyone seeing a signal right now?

[Rankor]

If you have been just checking it every so often you probably missed the signal showing up. We have bee watching the signal meter and the signal is very intermittent. It will disappear for minutes then come back. Although I am thinking that they are done for the night now.

[bslayton]

is anyone seeing a signal right now?

No but I haven't seen it yet... If I leave it on test signal strength will it refresh it self or do I need to refresh it myself?

Thanks Directv RF engineers for all the late night work!!!

[mammut]

b.

If you are on the Test Signal Strength screen rather than Signal Strength you can select tp11 and monitor that single tp rather than scanning through the whole list on 103b.

[Rankor]

No but I haven't seen it yet... If I leave it on test signal strength will it refresh it self or do I need to refresh it myself?

If you are talking about the screen that you have to manually put transponder 11 into, that has the bars on the screen it updates in real time. The screen with all the transponders on it does not.

Looks like they're testing again. Back up with a 70 signal strength...

Guess they needed a late night snack break.

The 16th ("or real close") is the date DIRECTV's spokesperson has said in the not too distant past as mentioned in the article. Also as mentioned in the comments DIRECTV is spending a bunch of cash on the Emmy party to coincide with the HD roll-out.

No one except DIRECTV knows for sure. But the satellite actually providing signal to peoples homes (just signals - not programming), the aforementioned DIRECTV comment, and the DIRECTV Emmy party this weekend all point towards more HD this weekend.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I get a signal on spotbeams from nowhere near me on 103a but a really crappy signal to none at all on tp11 on 103b. I'm assuming it's an alignment issue but it does seem possible it's something else.

Well I got the tuner one issue fixed, I had the OTA antenna signal mixed with a switch on one wire coming into to the BBC and that in turn going into tuner 1, so I disconnected the OTA and from the wire and fed the straight sat signal into the BBC and now I am getting 74 on both tuners.

I only have 56 in Boise,Idaho:eek2:

[gb33]

In the same boat except I am getting 75 on tuner2 and tuner one says not acquired. Any ideas?

Not yet. Thought for a secong it was a missing b-band converter but then I wouldn't be getting my locals on the 99 correct? I also have around 40-50 on 103a

I'm getting a signal on TP11 w/103B but it's in the "daytime" here. Do I really need to wait until "tonight" ;)

Weather here in Vegas is clear, but I don't think that's a factor (Slingbox). Weather in Denver is reported as overcast.

55% in Chesapeake VA. Think I need to make a call or wait until launch??I have 52% in Virginia Beach BUT I think we need a realignment. I wish they would keep this TP on so the installers can use it as a reference...

TP11 103(b) at 37-39% 45 miles East of LA, SoCal.

This pisses me off, to no end. In the past year, since getting a HR20 and 5LNB, I've had at least six visits from techs to properly aim my dish, so I could get back my HD channels that had low (45-55) signal levels that would cause my HD programming to disappear or to shut off and on indiscriminately. Now, I have to go through all the BS of fighting with reps to get these idiots to come out here again, at not cost to me. They still haven't installed the damn dish properly since the beginning.

[cforrest]

Guitar Hero,

I would wait for 103b to be turned on fully with channels coming from it before getting worked up about having to get techs at your place, yet again. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but if it took 6 visits, then perhaps you may be correct.

[hodag17]

33% on TP11 in Northern WI -
I do have a lot of rain fade on regular programming, maybe i'm in need of a realignment??

[gb33]

Well I got the tuner one issue fixed, I had the OTA antenna signal mixed with a switch on one wire coming into to the BBC and that in turn going into tuner 1, so I disconnected the OTA and from the wire and fed the straight sat signal into the BBC and now I am getting 74 on both tuners. I dont know if you have this issue with yours or not but I hope this helps.

OH CRUD! Thats right I do have my attic antenna diplexed into Line 1 coming from the attic. I have to have OTA because of no CBS here yet via sat. Darn it. Thanks for the reminder.

VARTV, i am about 40 miles south of you and have readings of 98. Most likely an alignment issue as you suspect.

Directv installer said that no way would I be able to get all the satellites.:nono2:

He, of course, was wrong. :hurah:

I installed the dish myself and am getting 96-97% TP11 Sat 103 (b) in the northern suburbs of Atlanta...!

I think that is there standard answer, I had to tell where to put the dish and they said it wouldn't work, but I get fine signals. Wonderful Mastec installers in Atl.

[WRTBill]

Just installed the Zinwell 16 port switch also and is working well with all satellite feeds

[FlyBono24]

[sticketfan]

[jsmith44]

Alls well that ends well!!! :D

[wavemaster]

SticketFan,

I saw the same thing, if you go to the meters and look at it there you will see the signal on each tuner.
