Common Antenna: Checking Terrestrial & Satellite TV signals in New Apartment After Cable Extension

Question

Hello, please help. I moved into a new apartment. After connecting to the collective antenna socket, the TV does not search for all available terrestrial TV programs. There are 2 cables to the socket, I guess satellite and terrestrial. They were extended. The connection is probably done...

Adamcyn · Answer

Check the provisions in the contract and pick up at the neighbor.

Kasianie1 · Answer

In the instructions received upon receipt, there is information about the access to all programs available in Wrocław after plugging into the socket, and I do not have any neighbors yet. I mean, is it possible to check if I am doing something wrong or if the error is on the developer's side.

Adamcyn · Answer

Rather, an entrance and an exit. Better to avoid extending the antenna cables. Just call us and ask. Perhaps the installation is not yet working and you are receiving powerful programs by accident.

Kasianie1 · Answer

I will, I will report to the developer on Monday. I have one more question . Since I turned the socket on looking for the reason, I need a hint on how to properly twist it. The socket has three external inputs for connecting a TV with the markings Sat, Sat, Rtv. From the inside, there are two cable entries from the wall, marked Sat on one, Rtv and Sat on the other. Two cables come out of the wall, the same for me. There is only one connection in the apartment. Does it matter which cable to input?

Probably the socket is prepared for the PWR system used in the case of having two SAT inputs in satellite tuners. One cable provides only SAT signal and the other one combined R, TV and SAT signal.

Kasianie1 · Answer

Is there a way to tell which cable is which?

andpol 33 · Answer

The new apartment is likely to have cables and no antennas.

Anonymous · Answer

Some idiot would have to do this. Both provide the same signal, i.e. RTV-SAT, and it doesn't matter which one you plug in. The only question is whether the antennas are already there and the installation is running.

Adamcyn · Answer

What if it is a serial installation with through socket outlets?

niewolno2 · Answer

It is unlikely that it would be a serial installation with through sockets.

And who makes a serial PVR installation? Unless SCR is applied all over.

Kasianie1 · Answer

Problem solved I reported to the developer - something was wrong with the antenna. Thank you for all your help.

Hi,

I have a similar question, but I don't think I need to assume a separate question. I have a TV / Radio socket in the wall, it receives the terrestrial signal nicely on the TV, but when I connect the radio tuner to the socket, it does not search for any station (on the connected wire, yes). How can I check if there is any radio signal there? I can't access the antenna on the block.

Ps. Sorry, no Polish characters, but I'm abroad and there is no Polish on the computer.

Look inside the socket and check if the cable is connected?

_kli_ · Answer

And do you see a radio antenna on the roof? Since it is a collective and ... ... the radio signal (if any) comes via the same cable as the tv.

The topic is assumed to be own and not similar! How TV picks up there is no radio antenna and you will use the radio ONLY on the wire. Think what you are writing. Or don't write at all.

Anonymous · Answer

One wire definitely comes to the socket. It probably should be like in the photo, but I don't know if there is an FM antenna on the roof and a crossover in the switchboard, because the multiswitch is definitely as below, only without SAT inputs.

Next time I will start a separate topic, thanks for the hint, I will know for the future.
I do not see the antennas on the block, so I wanted to measure whether such a signal comes to the socket, but how to do it?
Well, if there is no such antenna, whether to buy a room antenna or better invest in one for the roof and crossovers. On the third wire, however, humming and I wonder what to buy, because it is already a considerable cost to build a mast

Does the radio have an antenna socket?

Anonymous · Answer

He has, here are his photos

Anonymous · Answer

A gauge. Only a meter more expensive than your radio. And how will you connect it and tune it so that it does not disturb others? Your apartment? You can buy it and if it passes, you can leave it for yourself.

Anonymous · Answer

Why do you speak in such a way as not to answer. If you know, just enter the type of such a meter or what values should be measured.

What is it I would disturb them, after all I will not send anything.
Yes, my apartment.

Anonymous · Answer

Example there are many others. If your apartment is also equipped with an FM / VHF crossover.

Hello, I am renting in a new block, put into use in the spring of this year. Theoretically, according to the regulations, there should be a collective installation in a TV-SAT block. in the rooms I have sockets in the walls of this type https://dvbsklep.pl/userdata/gfx/0b88fc56ba0d3243bd0550d7330dbc64.jpg there is no SAT connector on them, which I care about the most, because I still have a subscription to NC +. I have not brought the decoder yet because I do not know if it makes sense, having such a socket as a photo means that I can only connect the radio and DVB-T? The developer does not write back whether there is a satellite installation, no one from the neighbors has any plates mounted on the counter.
In the block there is a fiber optic from orange (also in the walls) and probably everyone chooses the internet + tv option from orange, I do not want to be bound by another contract with the TV, I only have optical fiber from orange. While standing in front of the block, you cannot see if there is a SAT installation.

andpol 33 · Answer

The link is not working.

andpol 33 · Answer

Well, in such a socket there is no sat signal and it will not be. Probably the building did not comply with the new regulations and the satellite installation is not provided for in the project.

pazdziochhh · Answer

The beginning of the construction of this building is the end of 2016, so the new regulations were in force for 3 years, it's a bit strange.

andpol 33 · Answer

But it is not the beginning of the construction, but the building permit. You have to harass the developer or hang your antenna.

pazdziochhh · Answer

the installation of the antenna is not possible in my case. When the antenna is directed to the south, I have a second wing of the block that obstructs the signal, I live on the 2nd floor, the block has 5.
