Sky News Dvb-S missing channel


Dadooqs

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I cannot get Sky News (SD) on DVBViewer. I've tried transedit. It doesn't get it either, but on analysis of the frequency, it shows very weak signal. (12207 V 27500 5/6).

NextPvr finds this channel and shows excellent picture. ( I've found other problems with NextPvr which is why I don't use it.)

Any help with this would be appreciated.

@Derrick: Sky News is on Astra 28.2° (12207 V 27500 5/6), not Astra 19.2°

 

@Dadooqs: You should always mention which SAT position you use, not only frequencies. Most users of this forum use Astra 19.2 I assume, where transponder 12207V really has 29700 symbol rate (and no Sky News channel on it).

@HaraldL - Thanks for pointing that out. I do indeed use astra 28.2 and should have said so. DVBViewer is not seeing any channels on that frequency. I assume signal is too weak.

I'm in the UK using Astra 28.2 and I have a few entries for Sky News in my channel list but they're all breaking up so it's probably a problem with transmission and is indeed too weak for the tuner to find and lock on to it. Here's an example you can try:

No problem here in the western part of Germany to receive 12207 V with a 45 cm dish (despite Astra 28° East spot beam). It doesn't smell like a transmission problem. :)
