They are still there - they have moved over to DVB-S2 transmission mode with a SR of 23000 and a fec of 8/9

Yeah, did a rescan on the VU this morning and it's working fine

erm, so they were there last night... did a channel list delete and rescan and er, there they were..... nowhere on the scan... what am I missing

Can your receiver cope with a FEC of 8/9?

im also trying to get back the HD chans, i got a Passion+ HD box i get a nice strong signal from astra2a on dvb-s but if i change it to dvb-s2 the signle goes to 0, The box is ment to be capable of dvb-s2 any idears ?

 

[Llew]

Should be OK. The box does FEC 8/9. I'll check my Passion tomorrow.

 

[adam2011]

seems in the tec specs it says the box supports DVB S2 : 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 8/9, 9/10(QPSK) but i only get DVB S2 : 9/10(QPSK) running the latest update on the box not sure if this is the problem im not very clued up when it comes to this stuff

 

[adam2011]

ignore last post!!! i do get DVB S2 : 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 8/9, 9/10(QPSK) told u i wasnt clued up! :/ but still no signal..

 

[Llew]

No problem on my Passion. Make sure you have it correctly configured in Advanced Scan.

 

[juclarie]

This is how I got my BBC HD channels back. Go to either non-working BBC1HD or BBCHD

Then from MENU / INSTALLATION / MANUAL SCAN ensure the following is set -

TP 10847
SR 23000
LNB Vertical
..
DVBST DVB.S2
Mod QPSK
FEC 8/9

I didn't do a scan, I just went back to the BBC HD channels & voila!
Thanks to Analoguesat for pointing in the right direction.
Llew's first picture shows it exactly as it should be except firmware updates seem to have changed a few menus... look for MANUAL scan!

 

[Llew]

Yes, I'm on F/W v.1.4.4. Haven't used the box for some time, so haven't updated lately.

Also, I have the basic Passsion, not the Plus.

 

[adam2011]

thx Llew and every one elce for your help all sorted not a box fault just my own

Thanks for the help on this,a little late getting around to it but working a treat,also found Channel 4HD as well (sorry it's in the wrong thread re 4)but one question re 4 hd I'm only getting 29% quality signal 69% is this exceptable

I'd say thats to low (Especially for poor weather reception) but what to do is check the Transponder for Movies4Men+1 how low are the levels for it?, I ask because that because Ch4 HD is on Eurobird & if your dish alignment is out slightly this would explain the low levels you report.

I'm Registering NO SIGNAL for Movies for Men+1 but a quality reading of 64%on movies for men I rechecked 4HD and the quality is oscalating between 30% and 46% obviously somethings amiss my overall signal reading for Astra Sat is signal 68% quality 81% these readings are steady

Thats low aswell mate, whats your setup dish wise mate, just a Zone 2 Sky dish (65cm) or what?

 

[tjl]

No I got a complete fortec dish and passionn + HD box

 

[Ghostleader]

Is it the motorised kit Maplin sold or is it the 65cm fixed dish they sold as a kit with the Passion?

 

[tjl]

The latter
