Satellite television Tricolor has long been popular among a large number viewers - and all thanks to a large number channels and broadcast quality. But even with latest technology there may be such a nuisance as the lack of a signal.
What to do if the inscription on the Tricolor "No signal" appeared only on a few channels, while the rest show
In the event that the signal was lost only on a few channels, you will need to update their list. This will require:
Disconnect the receiver from the power supply for about a minute, then plug it in and wait until the receiver returns to normal. working condition, and then switch it to a scrambled channel.
In the event that there is no signal on Tricolor-TV again, search for channels, which can be done using the remote control for the receiver. Enter the menu, then search for Tricolor-TV channels, then press OK, then the yellow button "Done" and finally "Exit". Then the channel search will start. During the search, two buttons will be displayed on the screen - "All Radio" and "All TV". At the end of the search, a window will appear with the number of TV channels found.
Be sure to save the detected TV channels. To do this, click the "OK" button. After that, the receiver should turn on the Tricolor-TV.
What to do if the inscription on the Tricolor "No signal" is displayed on all television channels
If the signal disappeared on all TV channels, this indicates its low level. Then you will need to check the connection between the cable and the receiver, its reliability and the integrity of the connections at the connectors.
If the connection is still correct and there are no damages on the cable, and there is no signal on the Tricolor, then the antenna will need to be tuned manually. To do this, it is best to contact a regional dealer to call a master at home.
To tune the antenna yourself, you need to move the antenna very slowly, one centimeter at a time, fixing it for 5 seconds in each position until an image appears on Tricolor-TV. The strength and quality of the signal can be checked using the information banner located on this TV channel by pressing the "i" button twice. In this case, the signal and quality scale will be displayed at the bottom of the screen (quality on the right and strength on the left). To view Tricolor-TV channels, these two scales must be filled at least 70%, only in this case the viewing will be stable.
What to do if the inscription on the Tricolor "No signal" is displayed further
In most cases, the procedure described above helps, but sometimes you have to resort to more radical measures requiring a factory reset of the receiver. To do this, turn on the receiver. On the remote control, after pressing the “Menu” button, the entire menu of the receiver will be displayed.
Using the arrows "Down" and "Up" located on remote control control, you need to go to the item "Installation". Then, to enter the submenu, press the "OK" button and enter the required PIN: 0000.
In the next submenu that opens, select "Factory settings" using the arrows and click "OK". Then press the "F1" button and confirm the reset existing installations, then wait a minute for the process to finish.
The "Next" button will appear in the setup wizard. Press "OK" again, and repeat this in each window that appears, without changing the value, until "Search for Tricolor-TV channels" appears.
After graduation automatic search the number of detected radio and TV channels will be displayed. And the "Finish" button will be available for pressing. Press the "F3" button, which will save you all the channels found. Enjoy watching high quality TV!
In this article, you learned what to do if the message “no signal” appears. Tricolor-TV will now give you only one pleasure, because you can watch the most interesting TV shows.
If both scales are at least 70% filled, and the Info channel still displays the message “No signal”, reset the receiver settings to factory settings.
To do this, press the "Menu" button, then "Settings" or "Settings" or "Applications", select the item "Factory settings" and press the "OK" button. After confirming the reset, the receiver will reboot and the Wizard will start. initial setup. In the Setup Wizard, specify the satellite TV operator and select the installation region of your equipment, if it is in the drop-down list. If after that the channels are not found (or not all channels are found), you must re-tune the antenna to receive a signal from the satellite.
If it was not possible to configure the successor, then
You need to adjust the antenna for better signal reception. You can do it yourself or contact
- On one\several channels, "Infochannel" Tricolor TV "shows
Check the level of the received signal from the antenna
To do this, on the Tricolor TV Info Channel, double-click on the red function button on the remote control from the receiver (“F1”, “i” or “INFO”, if necessary, press the green button on the remote control). The expanded information banner window will open. In the window that appears, two scales will be displayed below - the strength and quality of the signal. For stable reception of a signal from a satellite, the scales must be filled by at least 70% (visually - by three fourths).
1. Both scales are 70% full or more
If the Infochannel shows, and the image is missing only on some channels of the paid service, this may be due to a change in the broadcasting parameters of the channels to optimize satellite capacities. In such situations, channels with old broadcast parameters may be stored in the channel list on your receiver. You need to update the channel list. To update the list of channels, press the "Menu" button on the remote control from the receiver and select the "Search for Tricolor TV channels" item in the "Main Menu".
2. One or both of the scales are less than 70% full
You need to adjust the antenna for better signal reception. You can do it yourself or contact
- The screen displays "Blank List"
Check the strength of the received signal from the antenna.
To do this, double-click the red function button on the remote control from the receiver (“F1”, “i” or “INFO”, if necessary, also press the green button on the remote control). The expanded information banner window will open. In the window that appears, two scales will be displayed below - the strength and quality of the signal. For stable reception of a signal from a satellite, the scales must be filled by at least 70% (visually - by three fourths).
1. Both scales are 70% full or more
Press the "Menu" button on the remote control and select "Search for Tricolor TV channels". Then press the "OK" button and confirm the start of the channel search. Wait until the search for TV and radio channels is completed (the screen should show Announcement) and save the found TV channels.
2. One or both of the scales are less than 70% full
Restore the receiver settings to factory settings.
To do this, press the "Menu" button, then "Settings" or "Settings or Applications", select the item "Factory settings" and press the "OK" button. After confirming the reset, the receiver will reboot and the Initial Setup Wizard will start. In the Setup Wizard, specify the satellite TV operator and select the installation region of your equipment, if it is in the drop-down list. If after that the channels are not found (or not all channels are found), you must re-tune the antenna to receive a signal from the satellite.
If it still does not show, then you need to adjust the antenna for a more confident signal reception. You can do it yourself or refer to .
General information.
Before setting up a dish for a satellite, read the article on our website:
"Satellite television"
1. Assemble the antenna according to the assembly instructions. Firmly fix the support at the selected point. When installed on a balcony or loggia, the fence is drilled through and the support is attached with ordinary long bolts of large diameter. When mounted on a wall, holes are drilled in it and self-wedging anchor bolts are used.
2. Having mounted antenna, you should immediately turn it in the direction of the position of the sun at approximately 16-17 hours of the day, and install it with a slight forward tilt (3-5 degrees) relative to the vertical.
Often there are some obstacles in the direction of the satellite that can interfere with signal reception.
It should be noted that any obstacles, including window panes, not to mention trees and bushes, located in the signal path can make it impossible to receive it.
3. Installing antenna and directing it to the location of the alleged location of the satellite, slightly fix it on the bracket, but so that it can turn on it with little effort. Installing a clamp under the antenna mount on the bracket greatly simplifies the tuning process. In this case, the mounting bolts can be loosened to such an extent that the antenna will rotate freely, leaning on the clamp.
4. Then, connecting the receiver and the converter with a cable, proceed to tune the antenna.
To tune the antenna to the Bonum 1 satellite, you should enter the parameters of the transponder on which you will search for the satellite into the receiver.
Frequency - 12226, polarization - horizontal, flow rate - 27500.
This is done in the following way:
Enter the Menu, select "antenna installation", or "transponder search" and enter the appropriate transponder parameters. Be sure to check what type of converter (LNB) is set in the settings. IN this case LNB type "Single" must be selected. Local oscillator frequency must be: 10750.
Then enter with number buttons receiver remote control the above transponder parameters. The setting is made by the menu item "Signal level" (Scan, etc.). Modern tuners usually have 2 level scales. The first scale - “Level (Signal)” - shows the IF level at the tuner input. The second - "Quality" - shows the level of the useful signal with given parameters(frequency, speed and FEC). The level on the first scale includes both the useful signal from the satellite and the noise of the head, terrestrial noise, the noise of all devices on the way from the head to the tuner. Most often, before connecting the head, the level is "0" and becomes greater than zero when it is connected. Some tuners have only one scale, but often on them, when a useful signal is captured, the color of the scale changes, for example, it turns from gray to yellow.
The initial search is carried out on the first scale. The level on it increases as you approach the satellite. The search is performed by scanning the sector in which the satellite is supposed to be located. It should be borne in mind that obstacles, such as a nearby tree, the sun, or just a hand, also increase the signal level on the first scale. But through them it will be impossible to receive a satellite. When the tuner catches a signal from the satellite, the level will appear on the second scale - "Quality". Further tuning is carried out on the second scale for the maximum signal. The scale may be located in another menu item and, depending on the brand of the receiver and the version that serves it operating system, be placed vertically or horizontally. One thing is clear: when you disable the option " LNB supply» the scale will indicate zero value. You should scan, starting from the position in which you have the antenna installed, slowly rotating to the left or right degrees by 10-15 degrees different sides. Rotate slowly enough digital signal is not processed as fast as analog, and appears on the TV screen with some delay. As soon as you catch a signal, the bottom bar will also be colored. In this case, you should turn the antenna very carefully to achieve the maximum value of the signal level on the lower strip.
If you did not catch the satellite in one pass, then raise the antenna a little up or down and repeat the operation. You may have to do this procedure several times.
final score correct setting on the satellite is the presence of a picture on the TV screen (for this, after reaching maximum level signal, scan the satellite).
Having reached the maximum value of the signal level, proceed to the final tightening of the fastening nuts. They should be tightened carefully, all the time monitoring the signal level on the receiver scale, since in this case the antenna shifts slightly in one direction or another, depending on which side you tighten the nut.
First, let's figure out why we need to increase the signal from satellite dish.
If you want to more channels, then increasing the signal is unlikely to help. Except if there is no reception of several transponders.
Another thing is when the picture pours or disappears altogether, in other words, there is no signal from the satellite.
reasons bad signal There may be several and fixing them is quite simple.
The wind or someone turned the antenna, even a few millimeters is enough for this, or it was initially poorly tuned and the signal disappeared during rain or heavy cloud cover.
Everything from the fact that mistakes were made during installation, in particular, the fastening bolts were not tightened enough (the wind turns off). In this case, to increase the signal, it is enough, not forgetting to correct the converter (left-right, back and forth).
Everything was fine with you, the TV showed properly, but over time, the signal began to disappear more and more often, or let's say in winter (when there is no foliage) everything is fine, and in summer - completely lost satellite signal. The reason is banal. Nearby, a growing tree has grown a new branch towards the antenna and obscures the signal beams from the satellite. It is enough to cut a branch (or tree), or install a satellite dish in another place.
Another very common problem. Its essence lies in poor quality. A layer of insulation falls off it, water gets inside, or it simply frays. Signal - falls gradually with the failure of the cable. best way out- replacement for a better one. When installing, do not forget to fasten it so that the wind does not chatter with it.
There may be more cases with the cable. If the cable is very long, the signal simply attenuates in it. And if the quality indicators are good near the antenna, then you may not detect a signal in the room.
How to improve satellite dish reception
In this case, you should take quality cable and if necessary, install a satellite dish signal amplifier, there are some. It is better to install it in the middle between the receiver and the satellite dish.
Extremely rare, but still there are breakdowns satellite receiver- in this case, no one will help you except the master. A receiver failure can sometimes be diagnosed by connecting and disconnecting a cable to the receiver (if all other equipment is in order), the signal scale should at least somehow react. In the event of a power supply failure, most often the tuner simply does not turn on, but sometimes it happens that there is no signal or disappears on one or all satellites.
What if everything is in order, but the signal is simply not enough - you need to amplify it.
In this case, only an increase in the diameter of the satellite dish mirror will help. On a large antenna, the signal strength is greater. To choose the right size, it is better to look at the lingsat for the recommended antenna size for a specific satellite in the right area.
There are also various artisanal ways to increase satellite signal. But I personally have not tried them myself and I will not argue about their performance.
Some people make special frames, graphite watering cans. I don't think it all works.
Although in the C band it is very great importance has a selection of a polarizer and an irradiator. And if you carefully select them, it is possible to amplify the useful signal even to small satellite dishes.
Perhaps not all options for amplifying the signal are here, and write your objections in the comments.
Antennas on the roofs of houses can break at any time, as they are exposed to various weather conditions– snow, rain often lead to damage due to water ingress into the cable or amplifiers. Also, antenna failure often leads incorrect installation. Electronic devices are also not durable and often break, like antennas.
Very often the cause of interference, low signal strength and poor quality is the wrong choice of location for installing the antenna, as well as the operation of low-quality cables or other components. Upon detection low level signal you need to check the cable connection. Do not insulate the amplifier with polyethylene or other materials. It is a misconception that by doing this you are protecting the device from moisture. Water gets in, but stays inside when insulated. This can lead to rotting of the joint in the future. It is necessary to carefully check all components and, if necessary, repair or replace them. This problem may result in a warning Error 0.
Exist various ways antenna installations. Via external antenna get the most signal quality, since it can be easily directed towards the transmitting center. For this, a variety of amplifications can be used to signal improvement.
If you are close to the transmitting center, then you suitable antenna for the room. It is necessary to install the antenna at a sufficient height, preferably on the roof. At interference you need to try to reconfigure the antenna, install it in a different place. If this does not help, use a different antenna. If the signal level, on the contrary, is high, then it is necessary to refuse powerful amplifier, since it causes interference. This can be detected if 100% signal strength but 0% quality. In such cases, an antenna for the room is often used.
Tricolor TV cable problem
If the reason Low quality signal is not an antenna, you need to pay attention to coaxial cable. It should not be old and cracked. Otherwise, this may cause interference.
There should be a minimum number of splitters and connectors, as they can lead to lower signal level. This is due to the fact that their combination leads to oxidation over time. And so they must be of decent quality.
Radio waves received from mobile phones, microwave ovens, modems, fluorescent lights, etc. may also cause interference on the TV. Therefore, when installing the antenna, these factors must be taken into account and the quality of the receiving system should be ensured.
Receiver problem?
Sometimes in poor quality The receiver is to blame for the signal. In order to check its serviceability, you need to seek help from specialists. A person who knows his business will diagnose it by disconnecting and connecting the wire. If all other equipment is in working condition, then a certain reaction will occur on the signal scale. If the power supply fails, the tuner will turn on poorly and malfunction. The broadcast signal may also be lost.
