pixelated

[kuntryw]

on AMC 3C 95 on transponder 4040 all the channels are heavily pixelated.
i have a very strong quality at 80-95% and all the other transponders dont have it,just on 4040.
i have it set up as
TP-4040
SR-29110
Pl- H

i also notice some of the channels have strong signal quality but no video or audio,while other channels on those transponders work fine.
anybody else having these issues?

Might be weather in Little Rock, they've had storms off and on for about a week. I've never seen it affect c-band though. I'll check mine in a min, right now I'm on 137 NASA> That is NOT AMC3 at 95W- its Galaxy 3C (if that's what you meant, I couldn't find anything on AMC3 at 4040.)

edit: Swung the 1-' dish up there and looked, everything on G3 is pegging the meter , on 4040, WMQF and Daystar, ThisTV, etc..all look good. You may have some alignment problems, lnb or coax/connectors..

The channels on 4040H you need a very strong signal as they are 7/8 FEC

ThisTV is on G3 too? I have it on AMC-3 here...

WNGS is on there which is a ThisTV affiliate for now

Are those channels all the same as the ones on G18 Ku, or are there some different ones?

thanks for the replies,turbosat you are right it's galaxy 3c. i have a very strong signal with the quality ranging from 80-95 mostly around 90. we have had a lot of rain here in the past couple of months,N Al.so it may be that i have some rust but this system i just got new a few months ago and all the wiring is new. up until the last couple of days everything had been working just fine though. i wonder if my switch could be bad from all the rain or something? i'm using a disecq switch.

most are Spanish channels. There are lots of blanks because at the time they were RTN affiliates

kuntryw I am about 30n of Bham so I know all about the wet weather lol. And it seems, you ARE Right about the G3 channels---just watching Fringe, on WMQF Fox, and it suddenly went black at 735pm, for no known reason. Fortunately the G18 feed of WMQF stayed on, which tells me it prob wasn't weather related. You prob have nothing wrong with your system, they just have a hitch in their equipment someplace on G3. (Now I get to try to record the show again on that Grt Falls MT Fox station on G18)

thanks turbosat,we may have to start buildin a boat soon if this rain keeps up,lol.

I also sometimes get pixelation on these channels wih 90 - 91 % quality on AMC 3C 95.
I figured it must be something with the TP fq because every other TP's on this sat works fine.

Its not heavy pixelation like kuntryw... just random glitches for me

good info Iceberg

 

[Mr Tony]

It has to do with the 7/8 FEC

Most channels out there are 3/4 FEC so you can have a lower signal. But 7/8 FEC you need to be pinpoint accurate. Even with the 6 footer and a 70+ quality they can pixelate once in a while
