..... my HBO @68.5oE has never shown. Always scrambled. I've tried every trick everywhere on this forum. Signal strength is 68% on an SRT 4922. What could be the problem?

By the way, my HBO signal strength is actually never stable and constantly keeps swinging from 58% to 78% hence my choosing the average of 68%. The dish is very stable as is the LNB. The signal is simply crazy and I can't tame. My primary concern is however to WATCH something on it. Anything.

All the tps are fluctuating. I remembered the basic properties of longitudinal waves and reflective dishes and realised I was "seeing" interference from a noise source. I promptly retrieved my scalar ring and installed it. They're a bit more stable now and fluctuate +/- 5%.

For the keys, I saw the preloaded keys under 03974. I choose PowerVU and set the keys manually by entering a new one at 3978 just in case.

Just now, I experienced a breakthrough. Out of desperation, I did a blind scan. Blindscans often mess up tps sp I avoid them unless I'm desperate. I'm desperate. My HBO now shows. I now have three HBOs at 3974, 3975 and 3978. The 3975 HBO for which there are no PowerVU keys is paradoxically the only one showing. Pretty good picture. Cracks when the signal drops below the lower 60s%.

I'm unable to watch anything but flickers on the NHK channels and I don't know what the SONY channels look like as I somehow seem unable to pick them. Any help?

PS: Regarding my fluctuation problem, I think I might have a clue now. The 2.6m dish is a mere 3.5m away from nine 240W solar panels, a veritable source of noise. Luckily, all my cables are double insulated with copper and aluminium foil shielding hence my being able to watch TV at all. It however shouldn't block my SONY channels hence I still need help.

OK now that u have a little breakthrough, just tweak ur lnb to different skews and see if there is signal increase. And make sure the ident is exactly the same as the frequency of the particular channel when entering the keys.

Sorry to repost but I noticed you replied just as I was editing my post. Kindly read the post above yours again. I still have significant fluctuation though tolerable now. Thanks

Alrite,just do a little twicking of the lnb and compare signal levels. As for the keys the image below will explain better my earlier post.

Softly softly on this PVu issue if you want to enjoy it for long. Let us learn from our previous undue exposure mistakes. Don't forget how we lost BeinSports, MBC and of course IRIB. Always refer enquiries to previous pages where the issue has been robustly dealt with. God of FTA knows our suffering and that's why he opens this door for us. A word is enough for the wise!!!

The mistake I made was scanning the channels in before making adjustments to the keys. The blindscan gave sime insight on this as the newly "blindscanned" channels were the only ones working. I delleted all previous channels and rescanned (not blind this time) and presto! the channels all started showing.

I noticed the keys didn't need to match exactly. In fact some were as much as 4 units off (03974 vs 03978) yet the decyrption worked. That means the trick was to have the keys before scanning the channels. Tweaking the keys after scanning the channels didn't work for me.

The lnb skew is wrong, the 0 must be at 12 0"clock. To make the job easier attach Ku lnb and track IS20ku using nollywood tp. make sure you get the highest signal. Replace with Cband and fine tune to highest signal
