I keep experiencing signal drop outs on Sly Sports - although I get 92% on itv, channel 5 etc and 82% on Bt Sports the signal on quite a few Sly channels is 0% have there been frequency changes. Anyone else having the same problems ? Do I need to do a blind search.
Using Channelmaster 1.2, Technomate 6900hd Combo Super

This has happened to me on a few occasions and any one of the following has fix it,...not sure which one.
Rescan channels
Change the f-connectors around on the lnb.
Change the channels,...ie, pick a different version of Sly Sports,...there are several of them.
seems to work for me.
Just checked SSp2 SD and it's OK
12207 V 27500 5/6
VPID 0205 h (517 d)
APID 0285 h (645 d)
currently showing cricket
also check transponders
12110H 27500
11914H 27500
as well as 12207V 27500
SIGNAL and QUALITY are fine here in the UK on a spiderbox and solo2
i get 100% signal but i have also noticed around footy times power is reduced to around 74%...
Interesting mate, you'd THINK it would be better for an 'important' transmission?Originally Posted by dOOds
Probably deliberate to reduce the footprint and reduce non paying numbers.
That seems unlikely - I'd go for some techy reason.
Most signal strength indicators report the whole of a transponder (not just a channel within a transponder). They are also slightly affected by the data content - watch a real-time signal strength indicator and it will waver all over the place. So my guess is that the transponder is passing more data during big matches and that adversely affects the signal reading.
SES operate the satellites and whole blocks of channels come from the onboard transmitting aerials (dishes). I can't see SES wanting to use up valuable power just to placate Roop.
I have too thought this as i have observed it happening many times..Usually during major sports events..the beams are tight already but to reduce it further seems plausable...however i see your point Detlef :cheers2:
