GEOSATpro Trouble Receiving High SR?

[cyberham]

I was wondering why my microHD would not receive any signal quality for the 45000 SR tps on 15W. So I swapped back my S9. Sure enough, those tps are the strongest signals on this satellite.

Is there a known problem with the microHD receiving higher SR? I get zero quality on these tps.

 

[SatelliteAV]

No known issues with high symbol rates. Have tested QSPK to 45000.

Maybe there is a known issue now then. microHD receives zero quality while S9 is showing 75% quality on 45000 SR scrambled signals on 15W. I notice it takes the S9 a few seconds before it shows quality. It never is this slow on slower SR. Anything I can try in order to get the microHD to see quality on these scrambled signals? This is purely an academic exercise since the scrambled signals are of no interest anyway.

 

[SatelliteAV]

Could someone provide a transponder TS recording via TSReader or other software of a problematic high symbol rate signal? A few of you have provided satellite parameters but they are on satellites with footprints not received from Northern California.

Have successfully tested several 40 - 45K SR signals on the bench modulator, so no reason that live signals shouldn't be locking.

The 15W signal was scrambled, so I guess a recording of that wouldn't be useful.

 

[SatelliteAV]

Scrambled or not, we only need the full transponder stream recorded.

Sample of High SR from 15W

I have a .ts file recorded using the S9 DVR of following from 15W. I can record any length of file, but file size gets large very quickly. I can't upload this format of file here.

 

[SatelliteAV]

A .ts file DVR recording will not work as it is not a complete transponder stream recording.

I didn't know it was possible to record a scrambled stream...

Or is this to be done with tsreader?

 

[SatelliteAV]

To record the complete transponder stream, you will need a PCI or USB tuner and software like TSReader. I am not aware of any STB that has the ability to record the entire transponder stream to a single TS file.

Send me a "PCI or USB tuner and software like TSReader", and I'll record!:

I am bumping this thread again now since I've had to dig my Openbox S9 out of the basement and re-install this old receiver in my viewing area. My microHD can no longer serve me exclusively. microHD cannot receive any of the 9 SR 45000 ITC channels on 15W. In other words, microHD cannot receive most of the channels on 15W but the S9 can. That's a problem worthy of attention. I have a fixed dish on 15W now and I receive it well (SQ70%), but I don't have capability to record and submit any of its signals for analysis.

 

[SatelliteAV]

We have never have received a .ts file of an example 45000 Symbol Rate transponder that you previously described. If a member with a PCI card could record the entire transport stream of one of these transponders for at least one minute and make available for us to test, we will correct the issue.

 

[cyberham]

I've found somebody who can record what you need from 15W. The file is going to be big! I will PM you once I have the file ready for you to download.

Added: The file turned out not to be so big. Here is the recorded file from ANTV on 15W:

Working on obtaining a revised file with entire transponder data courtesy of a friend. Maybe this weekend.
