SNR Frequency Signal Problems DM800 HD

[gio65_00]

@bubbles everything with bridge is now fine.

[gio65_00]

That's very good if your only getting freezing just on ss1 HD.
Looks like a bigger dish is the way.

ECM times @ bubbles - my ECM times fluctuate from 0.4 above hence sticking on channels e.g. Espn HD severe sticking. Any ideas on improving ECM times?

gio 65, read other parts of the thread, im same as u, espn hd is bad along with ch4 and scifi.
going to try the in line amp first, but not are all hd compatable!!
looks like a bit of reading up req.

inline amp from www.ukdreamshop.co.uk its tested 100% as i myself tried 1 amp before had 20db written on it made everything worse...
but this one works as he sent me one end of last week you maybe able to buy elsewhere but its just getting the right one first off he really helped me out when i got my dm800hd from him that why i went back to him to try the amp.. worth every penny

[damiensk]

bubbles, yeah got my dm 800 of dreamshop, fast delivery.
will give the in line amp a go off him.

will give u a mention when i do

[bubbles69]

cheers m8, hoping for a bit of discount from him with my next order....

[gio65_00]

Let me know how you get on damiensk. If it works for you then Il give it a try

[gio65_00]

Ive just checked the one I have with your recommendation for inline sat booster and I have the same one but has made very little difference

Ive just checked the one I have with your recommendation for inline sat booster and I have the same one but has made very little difference

do you have the L3 runer?

[deffc0n]

Tuner rev.J and rev.K no problem fix

[gio65_00]

Checked the booster again and it doesn't show anywhere whether if it's a L3 tuner. How do I know if it is?

[gio65_00]

Will I have to open my box etc to check as you described in previous posts?

[bubbles69]

Yes its written on the underside of the tuner you need to remove tuner, it just slotted in like a pci card in the pc, and it will have a REV printed on the bored i know clones with below rev L3 have serious problems... the L3 tuner struggles on sky mini dishs, with glitch on the few HD channels but the in-line amp fixes that 100% I suppose there must be some tolerance where the signal is so bad it cant improve more.. i must also say on discovery without in line amp gets 69% SNR and glitch but with in-line amp you get 66 SNR but perfect no glitch im not sure how these signal noise ratio's (SNR) works but all i know is with my own eyes the inline amp works with the L3 tuner perfect.

[gio65_00]

I will find out this evening.
To summarise if I want better snr and channels glitch free then I need a bigger dish and a L3 tuner.

Any ideas on improving ECM times?
