Signal Strength

[cris808]

Hi.

How would I improve my signal on my setup. Currently on 28.2E (Sly UK) on Sly Sports 1 HD I get SNR= 69/70% AGC= 99% BER= 0

On Movie channels I get anything from 55 - 68% SNR.

I have a DM800HD which came loaded with a Gemini Image version 5.10.

The picture seems to freeze every so often which can be annoying when watching movies and sports.

I have an amplifier which makes the HD channels nice and clear but doesnt help the freezing which I think is down to low SNR.

Do you think I need to get out the old ladder and have a play?

Thanks!

Thats wot i did mate
Got sig up from 66 to 75 messin with the dish.
But still glitches on most hd channels ................Paul

My signal strength is about the same and all my HD channels work perfectly???

I used to suffer the same, until i boosted my signal to 90 - 95% with a in-line amplifier.

Since then all good.

Can you please tell me what is in-line amplyfier? and where to fix it please.

Just had a little play with the box itself.

I removed the amplifier and the snr of channels like bbc1 hd shot up from 70% to 91%, but the Sly Sports/Movie channels become rather glitchy.

I'm thinking of trying a lower power amplifier?

i to had 13-18 slope in line amp and the signal dropped from 70ish to 20,i positioned my dish again no joy,then i removed the in line amp and now SNR 78-90ish.....!!!???
