No Digital Polsat Signal on HD5500: Lack of Channels, Antenna & LNB Issues - Seeking Advice

Hello
For about a month I have a message:
"Lack of signal
check the antenna installation
and connecting the signal to the LBN input ".

No channels except 3 (TVP1). A dozen or so channels appeared yesterday evening, today they are missing again.

This is Cyfrowy Polsat, this tuner seems to be HD5500, the antenna is not from CP.
So far, the installation has been working properly for about 20 years.
What I did:
- tuner checked at Polsat - efficient, everything works
- I have re-earned the cable ends (noting if there is a short circuit on the plug and there is no)
- today I replaced the converter with "Opticum Robust Single LNB" 0.1dB.

I am still going to buy new plugs and possibly replace the antenna cable.



Will you advise me anything before I call a guest on these topics?
Oh, I have an indefinite contract with Polsat and I do not want to extend it, as if it were something

What signal strength and quality ?, the antenna is not obscured-trees ....

Either it flew out and did not look straight at the satellite just next ...

The strength and quality of the 0% signal.
Trees and yes they are, but for 20 years did not bother, it would have started for a month?
They were firmly cropped in the spring, so that's probably not it.


jdubowski, the screws on the converter were so rusty that I had to cut them apart

Hello.
You have to exchange not only a converter, but also a coaxial cable.
After 20 years of operation, it makes no sense to leave the old wire.
If the antenna dish is corroded then there will be a problem with obtaining the signal.
After replacing the cable, the antenna is reset.

The antenna is fiberglass, but in fact its surface is already the best time for it.
The paint is cracked, the surface is very rough.
And these 20 years is a fact, because it was founded in 1998.

Gentlemen, what would you recommend, try to reactivate the old antenna (diameter over 100 cm, maybe even 120), or take some new blaszach?
I've arranged a guy for tomorrow.

If you have a specialist you have for tomorrow, then you will have to adapt to his decision.
If he refuses service because of the poor condition of the dish, you will either have to renew the current antenna or buy a new one.
I have an antenna from 2000 and renewed it due to the robust mounting of the dish because it is not produced any more.
I am sure that no strong wind will change it and the canopy will not crack because it is steel and canopy.
At the neighbor's house, the mounting broke during the windstorm two years ago and the antenna dropped and could be disposed of.
Buy a good antenna cable because it is not worth buying anything.

I sent him photos of the current installation.
He stated that fixing is even better than current ones, we will probably exchange the antenna.
We made an appointment for an attempt to resuscitate, and then ... to act

There will be a cable replacement for sure. He said something about 1.5PLN / meter.
I do not know what he will put on me there.

Change professional .

Actually. I buy a good wire for PLN 2 for 1m and for PLN 1.50 it can not be good.
If someone wants to put on such a cable, he can not be a good professional.
And if there are trees, it is only their fault.

The main reason for this state of affairs is broadcasting for some time by CP signal that has been compressed and therefore weakened and the antenna must be set with good equipment and a good quality cable required.

Personally, I struggled with this problem and in total I mastered because even at high rainfall the signal does not disappear, but a lot of people thanked CP and went to Cyfra because their signal is much stronger.

After all, NC + and CP (as well as Orange) use the same frequencies on HB.

The frequencies are the same, but the signal quality is completely different.
Physically tested on 3 CP receivers where during a rain puzzle and on the same set two decoders Digitize like this doll.

TVP1 HD is 11449H transponder only coded in different systems. I have no idea what you are tino2003 you write?
