I've just replaced my Echostar 3000, which went belly up, with a Technomate 6900HD+ Super, connected to a V-Box, as no one seems to do 36v built-in positioners anymore. I also changed the LNB on my 1.2m dish with a new 0.1db model.
Programming the V-Box was a bit of a faff, but got there in the end. The trouble now is with the Sex View Viaccess package. It was always quite a soft picture via the Echostar, but with the TM6900 it's much sharper, but is now also prone to random momentary pixalisation, with some of the channels being slightly better than others. There was also really bad sound sync drift on the Echostar which the TM6900 seems to have completely sorted. Which is nice.
So, the question is, have I mucked something up and now have, say, too much signal, or is SV just not keeping its MPEG encoders up to speed by cramming too many channels into one transponder? If so, is this a recent phenomena?
The Echostar used to report about 80% signal strength, 70% signal quality. The TM6900 reports about 95% signal strength, 75% signal quality. Non-encrypted channels, like BBC World, NHK, and Euronews, are rock solid with no hint of pixalisation.
Swinging the dish to Astra/Eurobird brings up a rock solid BBC-HD, so I'm pretty sure the trouble is either with my Viaccess cam or card, or SV themselves and their rubbish bandwidth.
Anyone any comments / ideas?
Cheers

Reall bad quality, pixilating, message saying no or bad signal. poor.
Thought it was the rain and wind, but a quick google search tells me it's sv and their poor transmition.
I can view this as well, extremely poor stuff must admit.
VHS was better.
I'll bet their web page doesn't bother mentioning it either. Don't ya just hate unprofessional pornographers!
No ideas on when they will fix it but at least they havent packed up shop completely and disappeared which is always liable to happen with these providers.
oops, they've 'changed the name' to Theme X ? You spoke too soon !
They claim the days of bad quality are over!.
