Why is the signal quality of tricolor TV poor? What to do if the signal is lost on all Tricolor TV channels

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

If you want 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.

There can be several reasons for a bad signal, 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 lost signal 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 and 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 a high-quality cable and, if necessary, install a satellite dish signal amplifier, there are such. 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 the 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 band the selection of a polarizer and feed is very important. And if you select them carefully, 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.

Tricolor subscribers are faced with a problematic situation when there is no connection to the satellite on the channels. If the Tricolor does not have a signal from the satellite dish, the reason may be different, but users immediately see the “no signal” screen message. The problem does not occur often, but you need to know what to do.

The reason for the complete lack of signal on TV is the inability of the antenna to catch the required waves. If you find a problem, you need to fix it yourself.

You need to make sure that there is no preventative work carried out by the company.

You can find out on the website by calling the hotline.

In the absence of prevention, the reason for the complete absence of an incoming signal is due to other breakdowns. It will be necessary to check the equipment installed in the residential premises. If a company has a breakdown or is carrying out maintenance work, you need to wait about 7-10 hours, and the broadcasting process will not be fully restored.

Tricolor TV there is no signal on all channels - what to do

If there is a complete absence of signal, you will need to try to identify the cause of the failure yourself, find out why Tricolor does not have a signal on all channels, what to do. Equipment items need to be checked:

  • Receiver operation;
  • General integrity of wires, presence or absence of cracks;
  • Converter operation;
  • Antenna installation and basic settings are correct.

After completing the manipulations, you can quickly fix the breakdown and continue to enjoy your favorite channels on TV. If you are unable to fix the breakdown yourself, you can get advice at any time through the contact center; customer service is always available to customers. They will tell you what to do if the TV does not work.

Actions to fix the problem

In the process of studying the condition of the equipment, when searching for a problem, it is worth carefully checking the overall integrity of the wires and cables and the tightness of their connections. If breaks are found, these areas will need to be replaced.

The condition of the cables should be monitored very carefully; they should not be twisted.

This has an impact on the overall image quality, and if not repaired, the channels will no longer receive signals.

If, when examining the condition of the equipment, problems with numerous wires are not detected, you need to carefully check the operation of the receiver. It is important to study the connection density to the antenna. It needs to be connected to the antenna.

If it works and at the same time there is no signal, the cause of the failure is a problem with the operation of the antenna.

When performing these manipulations in reverse, problems with the operation of the receiver are discovered.

If a problem is detected with the receiver, the tuner directly responsible for receiving the signal has failed. In this situation, it is better to invite service center employees to carry out repair work. If the specialists realize that the repair will not help, a replacement will be arranged. If, in the process of studying the condition of the equipment, it becomes clear that the problem lies in the antenna, you will have to fix it yourself. The Tricolor antenna goes astray for several reasons:

  1. Unfavorable weather – snow, rain and wind.
  2. The device is not secured firmly enough.

You can check all this yourself and correct the position of the antenna yourself. To significantly speed up the process of eliminating the problem, you can use the help of loved ones. They should be in touch and tell you whether the image is improving or not while the antenna is moving.

After finding the correct position of the device, you will need to secure it firmly by tightly tightening the bolts and numerous nuts.

If during the process of self-diagnosis no problems appear, we can suggest that the lack of a TV signal is due to a breakdown of the converter. This happens in more than 50% of crashes. A qualified technician can fix it.

The company's specialists advise having a spare converter on hand.

If it breaks down, if not a single channel works, you can replace it yourself.

Conclusion

In any case, the problem with the lack of signal is solved quite quickly. The most important thing is to take appropriate measures and carry out timely repair work. In addition, Tricolor employees are always ready to provide qualified assistance. Today, in 2019, service is at a high level.

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

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

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 signal quality is 65-70%.

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

Particular attention should be paid to the device for tuning satellite antennas 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!

Tricolor satellite television has long been popular among a large number of television viewers - and all thanks to the large number of channels and the quality of broadcasting. But even with the latest technology, such a nuisance as a lack of signal can happen.

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 is in working condition again, and then switch it to the encrypted 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 be displayed

In most cases, the procedure described above helps, but sometimes you have to resort to more radical measures that require resetting the receiver to its factory settings. 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 the remote 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 resetting existing settings, 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 the automatic search is completed, 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.

In this article we will talk about what can cause viewing problems and weak signal.

By increasing the signal level, you obviously will not achieve an increase in the number of channels. The exception is if several transceiver devices are used.

What to do when the picture crumbles into squares or disappears altogether?

In a word, the equipment does not receive a signal from the satellite. This can happen for various reasons, but the problems can be easily fixed. Perhaps the antenna has turned under the influence of the wind or someone has turned it - for a poor-quality signal, it is enough for it to move at least a couple of millimeters. It is likely that errors were initially made when setting up the dish, and the disappearance of the signal is due to heavy clouds or rain.

Why does the antenna change its position?

Usually the culprit is poorly tightened mounting bolts. Accordingly, in order to increase the signal, you need to adjust the direction of the antenna and secure the fasteners (the converter also needs to be adjusted).


If previously there were no problems with the quality of signal reception, but now it often begins to disappear, especially in the summer, then the reason is banal. On a tree located next to the house, a new branch has grown in the direction of the antenna - it becomes an obstacle to the signal. You will need to get rid of the branch or tree altogether, or find another place for the plate.

Wiring and other technical problems with a weak signal

Also, the disappearance of the signal may be due to a poor quality wire: due to damage to the insulating layer, moisture seeps into the cable or it is simply frayed. You will need to replace the wire, but you shouldn’t skimp on quality. When laying the cable, it is necessary to securely fix it, which will prevent it from loosening during gusts of wind.

If the cable is laid too long, signal attenuation may occur. Accordingly, problems arise with receiving channels: the signal is good only near the dish, but it simply does not reach the apartment. A signal amplifier, which is installed between the antenna and the receiver, will help solve the problem.


It happens that the receiver itself fails (very rarely). Then you simply cannot do without the help of a specialist. You can check the serviceability of the receiver by diagnosing it: disconnect and connect the wire to the receiver (it is important that the rest of the equipment is in good order) - there should be some kind of reaction from the signal scale. When the power supply breaks, problems arise with turning on the tuner. However, this can also cause the signal to disappear.
