Question about the "Notice: No Signal" prompt.

[ftanut]

Have noticed that many of the selected channels come up with the "Notice: No Signal" prompt, does this means that this/those channels will never be viewable, because the receiver is not able to lock them in, or are these channels signals are not actually strong enough for the receiver to make them viewable. If giving enough time for the receiver to try to lock in the channel`s signal, will they ever come in.

What is a true sign or prompt that will indicate that this or any channel will not be received and viewed.

Thanks.

What firmware are you using? Also what are your signal and quality reading when this occurs?

Which channels on what transponder and satellite do you get this message?

Could be several reasons such as the channel appearing free but it's actually encrypted or it may even be a 4:2:2 feed.

It does this in no particular Tp or channel, the prompt mostly pops up when changing channels.

I am using the last firmware issued, the January 25, 2014. Also noticed that if giving enough time resting on a channel, it will lock in to that channel.

I have never had that issue come up with either of my 2 x2 units.

I have had it happen on a few channels its is most the time on a borderline signal strength.

ftanut can you take a screenshot of this and post it? I am familiar with the "No Service" prompt as I have one right now.

Are you reffering to to take a picture of the Tv screen, no problem, but I do not know how to send the picture to this forum...Never had I done this before. LOL...I am sure that it is not that hard, but I am clueless about this.

Give me a hint and I will be glad to send the screenshot to the florum.

Thanks.
