Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
Hi. New here but just looking for a little bit of advice.
Got the Ross HD kit and after abandoning a night time install came back next morning and maybe with a bit more luck than judgement got it going first time.
I can't seem to get the quality of signal above 57% although this seems to be fairly normal?
I can get BBC HD and all that but some of the channels present me with a "Signal Too Weak" message, namely CBS Drama/Reality. I just so happened to have a Sky HD box available to me and when I plug that in I get CBS Drama/Reality apparently without issue. From this I deduce one of three things..
1. The channel is encrypted or scrambled in some way.
2. The Ross box has a different signal tolerance or has inferior reception parts in it.
3. The Ross box is faulty in some way.
Your thoughts please? I'm not particularly bothered about that particular channel I've just been using it as a reference between the two boxes. I just want to make sure I'm getting everything I can.
I've noticed that several people talk about a software upgrade on the Ross website but that appears to be for a different model of receiver (I have a HDR-8130USB and the site talks about a 6110).
Finally I can't seem to find BBC1 HD (I can get BBC HD but my understanding is that that is a different service). Do I need to send the unit on a scan of the channels for the satellite I am pointing at? I believe I'm pointing at Astra 28.2E or the group of channels that are in that direction.
Anyways, you seem like nice chaps so I thought I'd see what you had to say.
John
