Advice Needed Best 4K receiver

[Gladstones]

i cant lock either on my 1.2 - octagon, signal must be very weak....

Or maybe it’s non existent

I doubt it very much, the tuner frequency span will be determined by the firmware governing the tuner and demodulator chipset

Broadcom have experimented with capturing frequencies outside the norm with a wideband chipset algorithm, but I believe it is more cable oriented.

If I remember correctly there's a Ferguson Ariva receiver that can tune below the standard range, as well as those signal meters. It's not impossible there are other receivers out there with similar capabilities.

A satellite receiver ?

Some boxes do have a capability (minitourner) but in most cases it is afternarket / GitHub / Linux / kernel fiddling.

Yes a receiver, not a Ferguson but a Revez HDS605:

Es’hail 2 25.5e

10494,903 H 999 8/9

How about 10493H 1500 on 26E? I don't expect anything with an IBU but will be interesting to know if you can input such a frequency

Yes it’s let me input 10493H1500
But no signal

Today changed the inverto ultra black with the following and got 5% more signal
I think signal is more stable on this lnb especially in very weak TPS.

ive got the DUAL version of that, i find it VERY good.

today i ordered one with double output next week i will test.

this one:

Me too.

I wonder if the 4G filter is helping some people because all my IBUs give better results than the Inverto PLL on my dishes

 

[Gladstones]

I think different lnbs gives different results on different receivers/tuners
I also tried technomate lnb & result was bad

thats interesting, i have technomate gold, and its VERY close between that, and IBU, and the Inverto PLL

i think we're talking small margins here, the slightest skew variance, and that could be miscontrued as a bad LNB v a good LNB

Also the 'in and out' adjustment - moving the LNB closer or further away from the dish face. It's why short-neck LNBs aren't worth trying on a standard Channel Master - they can't get close enough to the dish's focal point.

 

[Manikm909]

yes - agreed - although when i tested, it wasnt that much difference when pulled away or pushed in, skew made the most difference on 1w - i.e it was a reading difference between 75% and 90% signal depending on the skew.

 

[ozumo]

You may have to adjust the declination (or elevation on a fixed dish) when the LNB in/out position is changed to maximise the signal. This is because the CM LNB holder is not in the perfect position.

Anybody knows what is search mode
Advanced
PID search only active on advanced search mode

 

[Gladstones]

I would open the lid and check which tuner it has, perhaps take pictures of the whole motherboard /other circuits/closeups of the big black chips and post them here.

As you wish
