UPC Internet-only: Accessing Free-to-Air DVB-C Channels on LG 32LY330C TV

Hello,

I have a just Internet access service from UPC.
Unfortunately, there is only one cable to my apartment, so I do not have access to terrestrial TV. I read that apparently UPC provides free-to-air channels. My tv (LG 32ly330c) has DVB-C support, but it doesn't search for anything. Are these free-to-air channels only for customers who have TV service or what on earth?

Greetings.

There is a filter in the box and the whole secret.

You do not need any CI module? Well, I wonder if, having only net, I can access it without manual interference in the mailbox

UPC makes free-to-air channels available to all clients, even those who have nothing to do with them, i.e. those who only settle accounts with a cooperative that charges a fee for antenna maintenance, and the estate is serviced by UPC. I know this because I have a UPC with a HORIZON decoder myself, when a UPC service technician did something for me, he told me about it. I found a brand new DVB-C decoder for PLN 10 on the stock exchange. with a remote control, I took it to give to my parents, they can't pick up the digital tube from the air because the signal is weak, they have an old, cathode ray tube TV. I connected the set-top box to the UPC socket and it turned out that the UPC service technician was telling the truth, now my parents have all uncoded digital TV programs, i.e. exactly those that are on digital terrestrial TV. Regarding what you wrote, you either have a broken TV or you search wrongly, e.g. when I was setting programs in my DVB-C tuner, I couldn't do anything either, I set everything up as it should be and no station could be picked up until I searched the Internet, I found information that you should not set POLAND, but probably FINLAND, now I will not tell you where and what exactly it was, but there is not that much, so you can find it yourself, unless you have it it will be like in my case, I don't know exactly what kind of TV it is, I think if it is a TV brought from abroad, or bought quite a long time ago, there is a good chance that you will be like mine.

How did you connect to the TV, if you only have one cable and a modem from them?

UPC TV has its own parameters and identification data - you need to enter them on TV - they depend on where you live.

One cable goes into the apartment, then there is a 1 to 2 splitter with power pass from which the cables go to 2 different rooms.

I entered them according to this instruction:

And this divider is it?

Did you notice that too?
Modulation: 256 QAM
Symbol rate: 6900 kS / s

And I understand that you are sure your tv supports DVB-C (cable band)?

2-way 5-2450 Mhz Power pass

But of course I noticed ... and YES I am sure that it supports, if he did not handle it, I would not delve into the topic.

Tv detected some channels but throws the message "CI module missing".

Tv searched everything "big" and that's why this effect.

Delete what is unnecessary and leave what works, or call UPC and ask on which transponders they transmit this packet and then search manually.

Read it - http://forum.emitel.pl/viewtopic.php?t=2755&start=80
it says that it is best to search manually, because searching automatically can find several stations (this is the case with you), or even not at all, although my parents only have a social package and I found all stations on my tuner / decoder, maybe that's why I was I managed to scan in my apartment, where I bought internet and TV-Horizon, then I took the programmed tuner to my parents. You can get such an impression from the articles that I have linked, in my opinion it is worth checking, i.e. scanning thoroughly with a friend who has purchased a TV package and if the tuner finds something, when you take it to your home, everything you found will be remembered. Of course, these are just my thoughts, because the easiest way is to just call your UPC branch and ask if and how you can receive DVB-C TV.

As far as I know, there is no such thing as the Internet at UPC, there is always an antenna from UPC, but it is not always used because there is digital terrestrial television, I also had the same internet at UPC, but the antenna socket from I also had UPC, I did not use it, but I had to pay the rent for about 8 zlotys, some people do not know that they pay for the antenna in the rent, so can the author of the topic. But we are discussing here whether it is anyway, and it is enough that the author of the topic will contact BOK UPC and the service there and find out exactly everything, I have the impression that the author knows the answers to the questions we are trying to answer for a long time.

After replacing the modem, they noticed that after passing the digital decoder a few years ago, the filter in the box on the cage was not installed.
The fitter said that after passing the decoder, UPC should have the filter installed and the crossover dismantled, but customers are not willing to let them into the house,
for what reason, since they have to deliver the decoder to the nearest point, which is usually in the provincial city.
It would be different if they came, picked up the decoder, disassembled the crossover, installed the filter and checked the correct modem parameters.
But it is a service that reduces the subscription and there is little interest here - costs, no order, no additional costs.
(that's why the fitter ran very quickly to install it )
I watched analog TV as a black cloud came and covered the plate in a stormy season, a few minutes a year.
And I completely missed the period in which supposedly DVB-C channels were working, now, after installing the filter in the box on the cage, there is no analog signal.
The filter effectively blocks the bandwidth, and the TV (and DVB-C decoder) searches for me 55 dollar channels, encoded
The filter blocks / cuts the DVB-C band or the cable is plugged into the Data crossover.

They do not need to drop off, there is a free courier from Inpost - you only need to send the parcel through a parcel locker.

What's strange - you call a service technician to pick up the equipment? - then pay for an additional service.
A colleague forgets that the service technicians are separate economic entities who work FOR UPC and not at UPC - the cash register must agree with them.
