Can someone check the Springwatch feed ? Badly breaking up, jittery fluctuating signal though shows 69% when I get it, yesterday also. Probably just me :(

12726 H SR 7498
Very low signal here. No lock

sat-tv-fan, mine is a CM 1.2m dish. I suspect they had a fault when you had trouble and by the time I checked all was well again. The dishes that the BBC use are much bigger and a slight drop in level wouldn't worry them.

Yes of course, tonight perfect at 72% but I would much prefer the signal strength in db on the GT combo

And the developers explained why they wouldn’t be implementing this feature. Their explanation for this decision along with all things GT Combo can me seen on their forum.

Are there any C-band operators on this forum using lnb / lnbf's with a LO of 5.750 experiencing 'Blind Scan' software problems.
Iv'e just gone back to using my Norsat 8000RI - 3.6 to 4.8GHz with LO of 5.75 to get an update on any new developments in the Extended C-band range and having major problems .
Used with lnb's LO's of 5.150 present no problems.
And yes-the GTCombo site/forum have been notified

Having recorded the MotoGP over the weekend, the PVR listings confirm a loss of date and time (reverting to 01/01/15) is down to not having a broadband connection.
If I turn off the network time setting in device preferences and disconnect power, any date / time is lost, suggesting there is no internal clock mechanism built in, the receiver beleives it is a mobile phone which would have a battery of some sort.

Perhaps there is a spot on the circuit board for one.20220627_071853[1].jpg

Yeah it works, about 3 frames a second :p
Unwatchable of course, but at least you can see what is going on.
There are actually 2 feeds, clean & dirty. The clean feed is on 12644v 9600.

even with "open" systems it is not that simple.
How many years did it take for the blindscan to arrive on Enigma2.
When we asked the question, there was a "no" answer; when the developers remained polite, which was not always the case, saying that the satellite.xml was much better.
Hi guys , Stephan what is the lowest SR can looked and What is the highest SR can looked by this gt combo , what about the tuner sensitivity its good ?

Thanks a lot
