There is no strength and quality on the receiver. Weak tricolor signal

First, let's figure out why we need to increase the signal from the satellite dish.

If you want to more channels, then increasing the signal is unlikely to help. Except if there is no reception of several transponders.

It’s another matter when the picture fades or disappears altogether, in other words, there is no signal from the satellite.

Reasons bad signal There may be several, and fixing them can be quite simple.

The wind or someone twisted the antenna, even a few millimeters will be enough for this, or it was initially poorly tuned and the signal disappeared during rain or heavy clouds.

All because mistakes were made during installation, in particular, the fastening bolts were not tightened enough (the wind twists). In this case, to increase the signal, it is enough, not forgetting to adjust the converter (right-left, forward-backward).

Everything was fine with you, the TV was showing properly, but over time the signal began to disappear more and more often, or let’s say in winter (when there is no foliage) everything is fine, but in summer - not at all signal lost from satellite. The reason is banal. A nearby tree has grown a new branch towards the antenna and is obscuring the signal beams from the satellite. It is enough to cut a branch (or tree), or install a satellite dish in another place.

Another very common problem. Its essence lies in poor quality. The insulation layer falls off, water gets in, or it simply gets worn out. The signal drops gradually as the cable fails. The best solution is to replace it with a better one. When installing, do not forget to secure it so that the wind does not dangle it.

There may be other cases with the cable. If the cable is very long, the signal simply fades out. And if the quality indicators near the antenna are good, then you may not detect a signal in the room.

How to improve satellite dish reception

In this case, you should take high quality cable and if necessary, install a satellite dish signal amplifier, there are those. It is better to install it in the middle between the receiver and the satellite dish.

It is extremely rare, but still there are breakdowns of the satellite receiver - in this case, no one except the master will help you. A failure of the receiver can sometimes be diagnosed by connecting and disconnecting the cable to the receiver (if all other equipment is in order); the signal scale should at least react somehow. When the power supplies break down, most often the tuner simply does not turn on, but sometimes it happens that there is no signal or it disappears on one or all satellites.

Well, if everything is in order, but the signal is simply not enough, you need to strengthen it.

In this case, only increasing the diameter of the satellite dish mirror will help. A larger antenna will have more signal strength. To choose the right size, it is better to look at Lingsat for the recommended antenna size for a specific satellite in the desired area.

There are also various homemade ways to increase satellite signal. But I personally haven’t tried them myself and I won’t say that they work.

Some people make special frames, graphite watering cans. I don't think all this works.

Although in the C range it is very great importance has a selection of polarizer and feed. And if you carefully select them, it is possible to amplify the useful signal even to small satellite dishes.

Perhaps there are not all signal amplification options here, and write your objections in the comments.

This is essentially a very important subject in successfully watching television.

After all, from correct installation The antenna depends on whether it will catch a signal from the satellite or not.

Understand for yourself if not... then there WILL NOT BE a picture.

Horizontal position of the satellite dish.

That is, the azimuth direction of the antenna mirror, from your location point, which you will determine according to the compass ( Rice. 1).

When setting horizontally, we will move the mirror itself (reflector), EAST (E- east), or on WEST (W- west).

In reality, this process should be combined with vertical adjustment... I’ll say right away that it makes sense to call a specialist for this operation.

Although it will be problematic to set up the plate alone.

Horizontal positioning of the satellite dish.

The second parameter is the position of the satellite dish, according to verticals.

That is, the angle of its inclination….

The angle of inclination of the antenna (Fig. 2) will directly depend on the altitude at which the satellite itself is located, and therefore the angle of elevation to the satellite or, as it is also called, the elevation angle.

Well, if you thought of it yourself without special equipment, then something like this...

Let's start with the central head, which should be set to Sirius. In the receiver we set the frequencies to 11766, speed to 27500, polarization “H”.

On the receiver you have two bands:

One signifies the connection of the dish and the signal from the satellite.
The second shows the level of this signal.

When the satellite dish is connected correctly, you should see a signal strength of approximately 40%. All that remains is to adjust the signal quality, which is at zero.

Let's move on to the plate and let's begin...

We turn the antenna to the left and up until it stops and, in search of the best signal level, slowly turn from left to right until it stops.
If the signal is not found, lower the plate 2-3 mm along the fasteners (on the fasteners of the dish up to the bracket there are marks with numbers for more convenient “targeting”), and turn from right to left until it stops, then lower it even lower, and so on until a signal appears.

When you receive a signal, you will see a bar appear. If you approximately hit the satellite, then the signal quality band will be about 21% - let’s fix the antenna in this position.

Now let’s lower it a little and carefully turn it to the left, watch for changes in quality; if it decreases, then return the antenna to its original position.

Great!

You caught the signal at 40%, but this is still not enough, with this percentage the slightest wind or rain can interrupt your TV viewing.

To increase the signal quality, turn the converter first clockwise and then counterclockwise and see at what position the signal quality increases.

If the mounting allows, then MirSovetov advises trying to bring the converter closer to the mirror, and then move it away.

This also affects the signal quality, but usually the length of the bracket for the central converter is always adjusted to the correct length. Normal quality signal is 65-70%.

However... as I already wrote with a handy specialist.

Particular attention should be paid to the device for setting satellite dishes SF-500.

The device has a memory that contains all the main satellites used in our regions; it is possible to edit them thanks to the buttons on the device panel.

In a word... an excellent assistant when setting up satellite antennas. Specifically about the device.

Good luck, Friends!

You turned on the TV and instead of your favorite programs you saw the inscription "NO SIGNAL". Why did this happen and what to do? Let's list all the reasons why Tricolor TV (or NTV Plus) does not show and why the signal from the satellite has disappeared.

Why does "Tricolor TV" write "No signal".

The reasons why the message “NO SIGNAL” appears on your TV can be divided into two groups.

1. External, i.e. independent of your receiving equipment
2. Internal, when the reason needs to be sought from you

Now let's talk about everything in order. You turned on the TV and it “delighted” with the message “no signal”. We are trying to find out what the problem is by using the method of exceptions, examining all the problems in order. First of all, make sure that the TV remote control selects the exact input to which the receiver is connected. If everything is correct, we move on.

External reasons

1. PREVENTIVE WORK.

Make sure that Tricolor, NTV Plus or another operator is not currently carrying out scheduled maintenance work on the equipment through which the satellite signal is transmitted.

How to check:

View news on the official website of the operator company about preventive maintenance. Check now

When maintenance work is carried out, there is no signal on all channels.

How to fix:

Wait until the work is completed.

2.WEATHER CONDITIONS

If there is heavy snowfall or the passage of a thunderstorm front, the signal cannot get through from the satellite to your dish.

In this case, the signal will be either very weak or completely absent.

How to check:

Look at the weather outside, make sure there is no rain, heavy snowfall, or clouds on the side where the plate is facing.

How to fix:

Wait for the weather to improve.

3. THE POSSIBILITY OF RECEIVING SATELLITE SIGNAL HAS CHANGED.

There is another reason for the lack of signal. If you have not used the receiving equipment for a long time, then during this time obstacles could arise on the path of the signal from the satellite to the dish, for example, trees have grown or a tall house has been built.

How to check:

Look at the sun at 13 o'clock. The imaginary straight line from the dish to the sun should not have any obstacles; even tree branches can interfere with the signal.

How to fix:

If an obstacle appears, the plate, alas, will have to be moved to another place or, if possible, the obstacle itself will have to be removed.

Internal reasons

If external reasons excluded, then the problem is most likely in your receiving equipment. Let's check point by point.

1. THE PLATE IS MISTAKEN

Over time, a satellite dish may slightly change its position or become deformed.

How to check:

Find out whether the plate is firmly secured enough.

How to fix:

If the antenna is “walking”, try moving it different directions while monitoring the signal. If the signal appears, tighten the fastening nuts. It is best to entrust the antenna setup to professionals and call an adjuster.

2. THE PRESENCE OF FOREIGN OBJECTS ON THE PLATE, AS WELL AS SNOW AND ICE

The accumulation of snow and ice can also interfere with signal reception.

How to check:

visually inspect the plate for mechanical damage whether there is ice, snow or other foreign objects on it.

How to fix:

Carefully clear the plate of snow and ice and remove all excess.

3. FAILURE OF THE CONVERTER ON THE PLATE.

The satellite converter is located on the dish and is therefore subject to external influences. It is the breakdown of the converter that very often causes signal loss.

How to check:

Instead of your converter, replace it with another converter that is known to work.

How to fix:

in case of breakdown, replace the converter with a new one.

4. DAMAGE TO THE CABLE OR CABLE CONNECTIONS.

How to check:

Visually inspect the cable for breaks and damage, check whether the F-connectors are tightly screwed in.

How to fix:

Tighten the F-connectors, if damaged, replace the cable

5. THE RECEIVER IS BROKEN.

The receiver is the most expensive part of the kit.

How to check:

If possible, connect your receiver to another antenna that is known to work. If there is a signal, then the problem is not with the receiver.

How to fix:

If the receiver turns out to be inoperative, you will have to send it in for repair or replace it with a new one.

6. THE “NO SIGNAL” SIGNAL IS PROVIDED BY THE TV ITSELF.

It happens that the message “no signal” has nothing to do with the operation satellite dish and the inscription is given directly by the TV.

How to check:

Press the “OK” button on the Tricolor (or NTV+) remote control. If the channel list does not appear on the TV screen, then the TV settings have gone wrong.

How to fix:

You need to use the TV remote control in the TV menu to select exactly the input to which your satellite receiver.

Weak, unstable signal "Tricolor TV"

It happens that there seems to be a signal, but it is too weak for high-quality viewing of TV channels. The reason may be a loose cable, broken cable connections, or a swaying plate.
If the signal constantly disappears and then appears again, then the cause may be overgrown tree branches.
Outdated models of receivers can behave the same way. Here the reason lies not in the level and quality of the signal from the dish itself, but in the equipment. In this case, adjusting the dish will no longer solve the problem; you will have to change the receiver according to

There are external and internal reasons no signal Tricolor TV. The user can independently identify and eliminate them.

The message “No signal” when using Tricolor equipment appears due to several reasons. They come in two types:

• External – not related to receiving equipment Tricolor;
• Internal – depends on the breakdown individual parts, equipment malfunctions or settings changes.

External and internal problems are solved in various ways.

External reasons

To the group external problems relate:

1. Weather;
2. Preventative work;
3. The appearance of obstacles in the path of the satellite signal to the dish.

You can determine them yourself. And the solution depends on the situation.

Internal problems

Internal causes are different from external topics, which are associated with the Tricolor equipment itself. This group includes:

1. The video signal source on the TV is incorrectly selected;
2. Damage or detachment of the cable;
3. Settings functions failure;
4. Problems with the receiver;
5. Converter failure;
6. Antenna malfunction.

Internal problems are often solved without the help of specialists.

How to independently determine the reason for the lack of signal

If a notification appears on the TV that there is no signal, you should check that the video source is selected correctly using the TV remote control. Many remote control models have an “Input” or “Source” button. After clicking on the corresponding button, select the input where the antenna connector is connected.

If no changes are made, the user must ensure that power is supplied to the receiver. There are situations when the “on” indicator is on, but the device does not function. You need to unplug the power plug and wait a minute and turn it on again. It is also necessary to check the serviceability of the cable connected to the receiver.

Bad weather cause the absence of a signal or its weakening. They can also cause the antenna to malfunction when it moves from its original position due to wind, snow or rain. Re-adjusting and firmly securing the plate will result in the display resuming.

Check if the satellite dish is damaged.

Preventative work carried out by the Tricolor service affects the lack of signal. If the user has not seen the notification about this work, then you can look at the company’s official website or call the customer service.

Possible reasons for the lack of signal and solutions to problems

The resumption of television broadcasting of Tricolor TV depends on the nature of the problem contributing to the lack of signal.

The antenna is out of whack

The antenna gets knocked down due to bad weather or poor fastening. Long-term use also leads to changes in position or deformation. To find out, you should check the rigidity of the fastening. If a loose fastening is detected, you need to adjust the position of the dish, while monitoring the signal level on the television screen (the “Settings” menu, where the information banner is displayed.)

It is necessary to change the position of the plate slowly in the horizontal and vertical plane in increments of 1 cm, observing a time range of 3-5 seconds.

When a signal is detected, fine-tune so that the fill level of both scales (quality and signal) is greater than 70-80%. Finally, tighten all the bolts firmly so that the plate is in a stable position.

The cable has come loose from the receiver

The cable detachment from the receiver is detected when inspecting the connection. The cause can be eliminated by checking the F-connector for damage and tightening the contacts tightly.

The problem is in the receiver

The receiver is responsible for receiving the signal and transmitting it to the TV. To check its serviceability you need to use a working antenna. Such an antenna can be found among neighbors, relatives, and friends who use Tricolor services.

After connecting to a working dish, the signal that appears indicates the serviceability of the equipment. The absence of a signal confirms the fact that the receiver is broken.

Receiver repairs are carried out in service center. If the device is unsuitable for repair, it must be replaced.

Converter failure on the plate

The converter located on the plate receives the signal from the mirror. If exposed to constant external influences, it may fail. If all other reasons have been analyzed and excluded, then the lack of signal is caused by a broken converter. A visual inspection will not help identify the problem.

This can be detected by installing a working converter. The item is purchased at the sales center. Replacement process:

• Remove the old converter;
• Install new element without turning the plate;
• Check the signal level and quality on the TV screen;
• If the scales are not filled enough, adjust the signal by rotating the plate in the horizontal and vertical plane.

If the user is unsure if the converter is broken, then you can call a specialist technical support. After examining the device, he may suggest replacing it. Usually specialists bring new converters.

Damage to the cable or cable connections

Having visually detected damage to the cable, you can replace it or repair the break. To work, you will need two F-connectors (if one is damaged), a connector, insulating tape, a knife, and pliers. Gap repair scheme:

If no obvious damage is found, you should check the cable with a tester. This will help check for hidden problems. If the cable is damaged again, it must be replaced.

Weather

In rainy, snowy weather or when thunder or lightning strikes, the quality of signal reception deteriorates. Therefore, a “No Signal” message may appear. You can try turning off the equipment and turning it back on after a few minutes. If the problem does not go away, then you should wait for good weather conditions.

Clear the plate of snow and ice regularly.

Wet snow can cause ice to form on the dish, which interferes with satellite signal reception. By carefully removing the ice, the signal quality improves.

If the weather has improved, but the TV does not show, you need to check the fastening of the dish. Strong gusts of wind and heavy rainfall can loosen the side joints. The result will be a deviation of several degrees, resulting in no signal. Then you need to re-adjust and configure the TV display.

What to do if the signal is weak and unstable

Weakness and instability of the signal appears due to factors:

• Weakened cable connection antennas and receiver;
• There are damaged cable sections;
• The plate has become loose;
• Tree branches are in the way;
• The receiver is outdated.

After visual inspection cable and plate mounting bolts, the problem can be eliminated. If overgrown tree branches are in the way, they need to be cut down. The outdated receiver model is replaced with a new device.

What to do if the message no signal appears only on some channels

The cause can be resolved by updating the channel list:

The new list of channels will be displayed on the information TV channel.

The appearance of the message “No signal” indicates a malfunction of the equipment. Having found out the cause of the failure, the user can make attempts to eliminate them. You can also contact the Tricolor technical service, where a specialist will help solve any problems that may arise.

Real problem solving experience

Tricolor satellite television has long been popular among large number TV viewers - and all thanks a large number channels and broadcast quality. But even with the latest technology Such a nuisance as a lack of signal may occur.

What to do if the inscription on the Tricolor “No signal” appears on only a few channels, while the rest show

If the signal is lost on only a few channels, you will need to update their list. To do this you will need:

Disconnect the receiver from the power supply for about a minute, then connect it and wait until the receiver comes back on. working condition, and then switch it to a scrambled channel.

If there is no signal on Tricolor-TV again, search for channels, which can be done using the remote control for the receiver. Enter the menu, then search for “Tricolor-TV” channels, then click OK, then the yellow “Done” button and finally “Exit”. Next, the search for channels will begin. During the search, two buttons will be displayed on the screen - “All Radio” and “All TV”. At the end of the search, a window will appear with the number of TV channels found.

Be sure to save the detected TV channels. To do this, click the “OK” button. After this, the receiver should turn on to Tricolor-TV.

What to do if the inscription on the Tricolor “No signal” appears on all television channels

If the signal disappears on all TV channels, this indicates its low level. Then you will need to check the connection between the cable and the receiver, its reliability and the integrity of the connections at the connector connections.

If the connection is still correct and there is no damage to the cable, and there is no signal on the Tricolor, then the antenna will need to be configured manually. To do this, it is best to contact a regional dealer to call a specialist to your home.

To adjust the antenna yourself, you need to move the antenna very slowly, one centimeter at a time, fixing it for 5 seconds in each position until an image appears on Tricolor-TV. The strength and quality of the signal can be checked using the information banner located on this TV channel by pressing the “i” button twice. In this case, the signal and quality scale will be displayed at the bottom of the screen (quality on the right and strength on the left). To view Tricolor-TV channels, these two scales must be filled at least 70%, only in this case the viewing will be stable.

What to do if the inscription “No signal” on the Tricolor continues to appear

In most cases, the procedure described above helps, but sometimes you have to resort to more radical measures, requiring a factory reset of the receiver. To do this, you need to turn on the receiver. On the remote control, after pressing the “Menu” button, the entire receiver menu will be displayed.

Using the "Down" and "Up" arrows located on remote control control, you need to go to the “Installation” item. Next, to enter the submenu, press the “OK” button and enter the required PIN: 0000.

In the next submenu that opens, use the arrows to select “Factory settings” and click “OK.” Then press the “F1” button and confirm the reset existing installations, then wait a minute for the process to finish.

A “Next” button will appear in the Settings Wizard. Click “OK” again, and repeat this in each window that appears, without changing the value, until “Search for Tricolor-TV channels” appears.

After graduation automatic search The number of detected Radio and TV channels will be displayed. And the “Done” button will be available to click. Press the “F3” button, which will allow you to save all found channels. Enjoy watching high quality TV!

From this article you learned what to do if the message “no signal” appears. Tricolor-TV will now give you only one pleasure, because you will be able to watch the most interesting TV shows.
