the 4 channel nbc mux on 72w ku at 12053 v 6890 have been kind of weak for me for the last few days to not even having any quality.......


my set up is a 1.2m dish but this dish is aimed at 79w ku and I piggy back the 72w ku with an added lnb and bracket but its not my set up rather nbc it self who is weaker than normal?


this sat like so many others I aim at I have certain tp I always use as a guide in quialty levels to know if my added lnb/ or dish needs to be tweeked

and 72w ku on the rest of the tp I judge are fine tp 11840 v 29660 this is one of the tp I mean I use this one as a strong guide to see and for me its always 73 to 74% quality this tp also has no channel to scan in rather I use this to see if my dish or lnb need to be tweeked and its been steady all these days in quality


and every morning mon thru Friday till 10 am est there is the three Spanish levanter aa type channels 12124 12029 12034 v all 3197 symbol rate these 3 Spanish channel if im not truly pegged as I can be in aiming these especaily the 12124v 3197 wont come in im just at the borderline with these in enough quality to see this and there fine also on this sat the one religious channel harolds doons day dude 11967 h 1666 this tp is always 70 to 71 in quality levels all day every day and its at 70 71

the nbc mux that's im talking about is always in the 70 plus for my quality levels on my open box some days 70 72 74 % quality but im only getting 58 to 60% quialty as I type this at 938 am est and its just enough for picture but is pixletting bad so this is not a go out side and tweek the dish rather its nbc uplink/ downlink that needs to be tweeked?

so my guess is if you don't have at least a 1.2m dish at 72w ku those nbc are gonna seem missing for ya!

but then again I don't know by location maybe some of you 36 to 39 inch dish aied at 72w will get the nbc mux cause you live up north from my real far south location in south florida?
 
The NBC mux is down for me a little bit too. It does look like the transponder for these channels is running at reduced power for reasons only known to a few.

Q signal readings do not tell us much but they are better than nothing.
The lnb noise and the received signal from the satellite are contained in the Q signal reading so it is hard to say how much of a Q signal reading is actual satellite signal and how much of the Q signal is noise.
I have had pixelation with Q signals up in the seventies on dish systems that were known to be poorly matched or generating a lot of noise.

The 11840v tp has a nice strong signal. It has about what I used to see on the 12054 tp before the signal dropped on it. It is probably best to wait it out and see what happens. The signal may come back stronger than it was before or it may get even weaker. Time will tell. EB

I was able to bring them back after tweaking the dish and the LNB a bit. I wasnt getting any quality at all with my previous setting. Notice I need to twist the lnb just a bit maybe 2 degrees to the right to stabilize the signal.
 
which box is that from? the picture of the info on those 2 tp the display doesn't show if its h or v just wonder which box eb
 
Optibox Raptor. Openbox receivers are usually more generous. On the Q signal, you can expect an Openbox to read the same or more as the Raptor. But like I said earlier, Q signal does not mean much. Not when compared to a clear picture vs. a broken picture with pixelation. The Q number does not matter as along as you can watch tv with a clear picture!
 
72 west today seems better those four channels today for me im back up in the 70's on nbc so I guess they fixed there end of this
and the quality levels are back to normal for me with out having to move. the dish or twist the lnb a bit like some of you have done yesterday.... figured it was more there end of weak signal due to the fact of a few other tp I use on 72w to see how the quality levels are
 
The signal is up a couple of percentage points here too. I have no idea of how much it has really increased but glad to hear you have it back! EB

Maybe I wrote too soon? I Lost All signal on this transponder a few minutes ago.

Really odd, I saved this sat position yesterday and once again today I had to nudge even further east to find it:

At 343 pm est at TD's house im hiting 71 72% on the nbc mux I have not looked since this morning but Im up a point or 2 I start to pixelate when I go under 60% percent on that group of channels so I am still back to what my ususal normal is on this transponder on 72w ku I have seen this happen before in the past these nbc mux have some issue maybe for a day or 2 to a week then no issue
