Uec rx problems

[Ben]

What goes on, I have lost the Optus B3 transponder operating on 12525Mhz. using a UEC receiver DSD910, the receiver just keeps re scanning and locks out all other functions.
The signal is there as I can decode on other receivers, the Uec decodes all the other transponders on B3 that are FTA.
A friend of mine is reporting the same thing, anyone any thoughts about this. Ben

Try disableing the first LNB setting, and start loading your satellites from option two.

you mean channel stack? Done that.

I've had the same trouble with my UEC 910 and 720. I've enabled other B3 transponder settings and put 12525 last, and amongst other positions in the setup table. UEC scans the other TP's but still won't scan 12525.

If 12525 is enabled on its own, in any position in the UEC setup table, including home setting, my UEC will just cycle itself from 8032 (which is UEC code for factory reset) then restarts and just keeps cycling over and over.

I know other receivers are good on 12525.

Any other ideas?

Thanks folks, it seems I'm not the only one with this problem, i assume there is something strange in the data stream on that boquet that upsets UEC receivers, perhaps it will dissapear in the near future and my wife will be happy.

Well it's now 3 1/2 years later, and i'm trying to get 12525 to load up,(AURORA UEC 910 )
but i'm only getting half the channels (15)that are available on this transponder,then when i change things around i get all the other 8 available channels but NOT the original 15 that i had before the rescan , AGGGGHHHHH don't know what to do about this problem ?
I'll try to set this transponder as the "Home" if it's not successful, i'll set it as signal set up #24 and see what happens ! Will i get all 23 F.T.A channels, there must be a way to do it?
My workmate only really wants it to watch DUNA (Hungarian channel) , but i want to give it to him with ALL the available B3 FTA on it

Well i want to load up the FTA channels on 12525 and also 12658 V
tp 7 but regardless having both of these in the "Signal Setup" after a tune and rescan, it is only one or the other not both at the same time.
Also i found that more transponders appear as found transport streams after a rescan than i program into the "signal set ups" ?

. . . Perhaps some kind soul can Blindscan Optus B3 for me and pasts n post all the found transponders,symbol rates,pol.fec into this thread PLEASE. then i could put them as "Signal setups" and hopefully find more FTA channels.
BTW, Lyngsat does not list all the same transponders that i've found ?

Try this:
Signal setting 1 = 12706V 22500 3/4
Disable the others.
Then rescan.

Thanks, i will give that a go soon,and let you know if it worked

[Firebird_AUST]

@ siliggy , i tried that and it gives me the fta channels off 12525 , but not the other lot of fta channels from 12658 ?
Even when i disable "Home" and change all signal setups to LNB 2 (as bassett suggested earlier in this thread), still no luck , also can't get the fta SBS channels to load up either from 12719 V 12600 5/6

Maybe it's the UBI transponders that stuff it all up ? as i put in 12425 H just for the pretty fta UBI info channel.
I'm still holding out for a method to do this setup.
I suppose it's purpose is as a "Provider" box only for Aurora/Austar/Select etc and not made to be used for FTA use.
If i had my new (soon to buy)Octagon 518 box i could just blindscan B3 and enter all found transponders into the UEC 910 signal setup menu :-)
I might disconnect the coax,do a factory reset,disable "Home" signal setup,and re enter only the FTA transponders under LNB 6 and see how that goes ?

Ive got one of those boxes(UEC 910). Will dig it out and have a play after sorting out some stuff i need to mail.

No use putting single channels into a UEC buddy.
They only do bouquets properly, and look for a NIT
As for setting them as LNB 1 LNB2 etc, your also wasting your time if the LNB is the same each time!
What you should be doing is leaving the lnb set at 1 for what you have.i.e.11300 dual.
Then you disable the home frequency TOTALLY, and load the other frequencies into Signal 2, signal 3 signal 4 etc.When you finish all that, and have them stored, then you do the tune and rescan routine.

Just had a look with my Xtreme decoder on Network search
using 12706 V 22500 3/4
next loaded via nit is 12525V 30000
then 12657 V 30000
finally 12733 V 22500

so looking at what is loaded via a network search - "12733 V 22500" is most likely causing the problem as there is no signal (well Im getting nothing on it atm ) which the uec wont like.

I'll dig my uec 910 out and have a look.

ok weird for the uec 910 on globecast
loading 12706 V 22500 3/4 as signal setup 1 (home) or as signal setup 2 seems to miss alot of the channels for some reason.

I found that by using 12657 V 30000 in "signal setup 2" and 12525 V 30000 in "signal setup 3" works it loads up the globecast channels on 12706 V, 12525 V, 12657 V

Bugger disregard my earlier post, I must of fluked it as I cannot repeat it.
It is strange as the uec seems to scan all the right transponders but it some how drops off some of the channels of each transponder.

[siliggy]

Yep same crap here. I can get it to load a huge number of "Accessible services" but they dissapear.
