Three is signal but no picture .. !!!

Post by Johncraig »

When switching between channels some channels have signal but no picture, after switching to other channels and come back to same channel there is picture.

Any idea why this happens .. ???

With cccam it is normal, you must wait 15 seconds or 9 depending on the frequency of reading ECM shipments

Thanks for your reply, but I don't use cccam, I watch free channels only.

Then you must have some alignment problem, because the FTA channel change does not exceed 3 seconds

Thanks but signal strength and quality is very strong.

If I connect another satellite receiver everything is Ok.

It seems to be a regulator problem, check the connections for a false contact

I'm using my old receiver and everything is fine, I think the problem is in the gtmedia receiver itself.

I get this a lot too.

Do you use DiSEqC switching? 1.1 and 1.0?

I think the unit starts looking at what video format the channel is before the DiSEqC switching is complete and the signal is on.
The GT Combo did this consistently from the same channel to another one.
I found some would only open if I when to them from another channel on a different TP on the same satellite and the same polarity.
The GTX is not so bad, but I only have 600 channels scanned in it as yet, while the GT Combo had 6000 channels in the list.
That also may be an issue.

You can import the GT Combo list to the GTX Combo: they are identical ;)
GTX Combo - V8 UHD - GT combo - V8 Finder Pro - V7 Pro - V8X - V8 Turbo - X8 - X8 combo - V8 Pro 2 - D2 DAB+
