    Hello!
    As in the subject I have a problem with setting the satellite on hot bird 6/8/9.
    The problem lies in this and I managed to set it and there was a signal strength of 69% and 50% quality so much that it was not able to install programs (it says there is no signal despite the signal was) so I decided to reset the decoder to the default settings and now I can not set satellites back to the one on which was signal, I have to choose satellites such as 13.0E hot bird, 19.2E Astra, 4.8E Astra4, 9E Eutelsat 9, 0.8W Thor, 7.8E Eutelsat 7, 28.2E Astra2, 4.0W Amos, 16.0E Eutelsat 16 and on none of them shows any signal strength. I also tried to set the antenna on 13.0E hot bird but I did not find the signal. I live in Germany near Dusseldorf.
    So my question is, can I somehow come back to this satellite hot bird 6/8/9 or do I have to set the antenna again?
    The decoder has a HD5000 digital video
    Frequency set to 11158 Symbol Rate 27500 Vertical polarization FEC Automatic

    So spin the canopy until you show strength and quality and then search.

    No - you did not set anything.
    Every few satellites the transponder parameters are repeated - what you hit was not HotBird.

    I encountered a similar problem. I live in Spain in Valencia. And I tried to set the antenna myself on Hotbird 13. But the decoder does not catch the signal. A trip to a friend who has an antenna set up on the Hotbird, I connected the decoder and also does not catch the signal.

    No decoder only the antenna receives the signal.
    An ordinary 60 cm antenna can be too small there.



    Yes, I understand. So it's better to have a bigger antenna? At 60 cm on a colleague he receives the range from Hotbird. And with him I connected the decoder and there was no signal either, 0%.

    A colleague what is the antenna there?

    Perhaps your decoder is damaged, or your colleague's other configuration of his antenna.

    A colleague has an ordinary 60. The decoder is new and tested in poland and works. Maybe his antenna is not well set, I do not know, I will try.
    I only have a question, if we set the antenna on the Hotbird, this signal is only one or can it be that you need to better set the antenna? Because like a friend on a normal set-top box, he has a signal and on this from a digital polysat he shows that there is no signal.

    The antenna must be set precisely, preferably using a meter.

    And what equipment does this colleague have, what does he receive, what is this "normal" decoder?

    The antenna was set up without a meter but it does not pick up channels too well, everything works without a problem, you only have to tune the signal. Thank you for your help, I already thought something with the set-up happened. Greetings.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around issues with setting up the Hot Bird 6/8/9 satellites using an HD5000 decoder in Germany. The user initially achieved a signal strength of 69% but faced difficulties in program installation due to low quality. After resetting the decoder, they could not regain the signal on any satellites, including Hot Bird. Responses suggest that the problem may lie in the antenna setup rather than the decoder itself, emphasizing the importance of precise antenna alignment and potentially using a larger antenna for better signal reception. Users shared similar experiences, indicating that the antenna's size and configuration are critical for successful satellite signal acquisition.
