[Solved] Polsat Cyfrowy - No signal on the eurosport 2 HD and TVP 2 HD channel

markiszon 13701 18
Best answers

Why do TVP 2 HD and Eurosport 2 HD show 0% signal on my Cyfrowy Polsat decoder while other channels still work?

The problem was the old cable; replacing it with a new one improved the signal strength and quality, and the affected channels started working normally again [#17155638] If only some channels are missing, check the LNB/converter too, because a faulty converter can fail on just one transponder [#17094970][#17094799] A factory reset of the decoder was also suggested, but it did not help in a similar case and is less likely than a cable or LNB fault [#17097271][#17097700]

    Hello, I have such a problem that I set the antenna with an ordinary satfinder the best I can and catch the signal on Cyfrowy Polsat 66% and quality 83% according to the PVR HD 7000 decoder / tuner on the Polsat hd channel. When I change the channel on tvp 2 hd or eurosport 2 hd and take on the indication of the power and quality of the signal on these channels, the value is 0%. These channels do not work at all and a message about no antenna signal is displayed! What is going on ? Tvp 1 hd works and Eurosport hd works too. I think that since I have the quality of the signal strength on other channels, then it should be something that also appears on this and here is nothing to see if it can be a problem? The tuner is the one that connects to it and internet is also connected to it. 80cm canopy.

    A damaged converter or decoder. After checking these things - the cable. @ LeDy.skoro crashes the lack of a signal it is known that nothing will show on these channels.

    I know that this is not a professional equipment for setting the canopy, but I have already set up several antennas with it and all go without a problem. If your intentions are malicious, I thank you for your help.

    It's just weird that on others it shows the power and quality of the signal, I will start with connecting a short new cable from the converter to the tuner, if that does not help, I will replace the converter, although I admit that never in any installation happened to me that the converter was broken, but who knows. I have one more thought because in this topic I do not sit every day or by chance do not you need to reprogram these programs / set them manually on other frequencies?

    You can search for digital polysat channels. You do not have to set up anything manually.

    Yes, there were not many of them (a few) because I do not do it only sporadically myself, my family and possibly friends, but I had a few age-old converters and never happened to the converter was broken, but of course I take this option into account

    - wrong antenna set?
    - converter set wrong?
    - a deformed dish?
    - damaged converter?
    - damaged decoder?
    - external interference?

    If 66% is strength, it is not enough. What cable and what length?

    I had a case that the converter was guilty and did not receive one transponder.
    What is the problem of replacing and checking?

    Of course, I will check it, but first I will start with the cable because it's easier to do because I have difficulty accessing the converter due to the fact that there is a lot of leaning out of the balcony.

    I know that 66% of the signal is not enough, but the cable is quite old and its bigger part hidden under the facade, I can not give the length, but I think that with 15 meters it can have a white color lead.

    in my case there was a damaged converter, reset to factory settings did not do anything and I doubt that it will work for you.

    Hi, the problem solved, the replacement of the wire for the new one has definitely improved the strength and quality of the signal, the channels mentioned above are without any problems. The cable purchased in a regular DIY store, white wire color. Thanks to everyone for help. Please, close the topic.

FAQ

TL;DR: 66% strength can be too low; "If 66% is strength, it is not enough." For Cyfrowy Polsat users with 'No signal' on TVP 2 HD or Eurosport 2 HD, inspect alignment, LNB, and especially old coax. [Elektroda, kli, post #17094563]

Why it matters: It helps you fix per‑transponder HD dropouts fast without wasting time on pointless rescans.

Quick Facts

Why do some Cyfrowy Polsat HD channels show "No signal" while others work?

Different channels sit on different transponders. Misalignment, wrong LNB skew, a deformed dish, or interference can hurt only some frequencies. A damaged LNB or decoder can also cause selective failures. Check hardware first before software fixes like rescanning. [Elektroda, kli, post #17094563]

Do I need to manually tune TVP 2 HD or Eurosport 2 HD?

No. Use Cyfrowy Polsat’s channel search to load the provider list. Manual tuning is not required for these channels. If they still fail, the issue is RF (dish/LNB/cable), not the channel list. [Elektroda, andpol 33, post #17093939]

What actually solved the forum case like mine?

Replacing the old coaxial cable fixed it. Signal strength and quality improved, and both TVP 2 HD and Eurosport 2 HD started working. The user used a new store‑bought cable. That points to aging or damaged coax as the root cause. [Elektroda, markiszon, post #17155638]

Is 66% signal strength enough for stable HD on a PVR HD 7000?

"If 66% is strength, it is not enough." Increase margin by refining alignment and reducing losses. Low strength leaves some transponders with zero quality. Improve cabling, connectors, and dish pointing to stabilize HD services. [Elektroda, kli, post #17094563]

Could a bad LNB block only one transponder?

Yes. "The converter was guilty and did not receive one transponder." Swap the LNB to confirm quickly. LNB faults can be frequency‑selective, so one transponder fails while others remain fine. Replace the LNB if the symptom disappears with a spare. [Elektroda, LeDy, post #17094799]

Should I factory reset my Polsat decoder when channels vanish?

You can try, but it will not fix a bad LNB or cable. One user reset to defaults and nothing changed, because the converter was damaged. Do hardware checks first to avoid wasted time. [Elektroda, arekopo, post #17097700]

How do I view MER or advanced signal metrics on the PVR HD 7000?

Press and hold the red button on the remote to show more details, including MER. Use MER while adjusting the dish or checking cabling. Higher MER correlates with a more stable HD picture. [Elektroda, LeDy, post #17093661]

What were the exact symptoms and gear in the reported case?

Setup: 80 cm dish and PVR HD 7000. Readings: 66% strength and 83% quality on Polsat HD. Failures: TVP 2 HD and Eurosport 2 HD both showed 0% and a 'No antenna signal' message. [Elektroda, markiszon, post #17093445]

What’s a quick way to isolate a bad cable?

Bypass the existing run. Connect a short new cable directly from the LNB to the decoder. This simple test separates cabling faults from LNB or dish issues and is easy to do from a balcony. [Elektroda, markiszon, post #17093907]

Could the decoder itself be faulty?

Yes. A damaged decoder is a possibility. Test with another receiver or test your decoder on a known‑good installation. Consider this after checking alignment, LNB, and cabling first. [Elektroda, kli, post #17094563]

What edge cases should I check beyond cable and LNB?

Inspect for a deformed dish or incorrect LNB rotation (skew). Both can drop quality on specific frequencies. External interference can also mimic faults. Correct physical issues before changing settings. [Elektroda, kli, post #17094563]

What dish size is typical for Hot Bird in Poland?

Typical dishes are approximately 70–90 cm for Hot Bird 13°E in Poland. A larger dish improves rain margin and helps stabilize DVB‑S2 HD services when alignment is precise. [Eutelsat, 2018]

When should I stop scanning and start swapping hardware?

If some transponders read 0% while others are fine after a provider scan, move to hardware. Replace the coax first. If that fails, swap the LNB. In the case discussed, a new cable restored both HD channels. [Elektroda, markiszon, post #17155638]

How do I troubleshoot missing HD channels step‑by‑step?

  1. Verify the provider channel list, then check MER via the red button.
  2. Run a short new coax from LNB to the receiver to bypass the old run.
  3. Swap the LNB and fine‑tune dish alignment and skew. [Elektroda, kli, post #17094563]
