    Can't get video on G3C 4040

    ADVERTS 1
    Any idea why I can't get any video on G3C 4040 digital. I get a 50 signal but when doing a blind scan it comes up no channels. I tried manual entering the PIDs and did get one channel listed as: Ch-A but no audio or video, just a black screen???

    Pete he's thinking of the Equity stuff at 4040 H

    sikma...50 ain't gonna cut it for signal. I got it at 60-62 and that was good enough to keep the signal most of the time. Something is wacky because the VOA on that satellite I get at 30 stable, yet the Equity stuff at 60 sometimes has drop outs??

    I am using my Pansat 1500 to get them

    sikma

    Can you get VOA or any of the feeds on there? There should be a whole bunch of feeds (they're listed oin Lyngsat...same SR different frequency)

    I'd try to tune some of those in 1st, then go for the frequency you want

    I had the same issue too. For me, I had to push the LNB in closer (mine is even with the 38 line on the 421 C-band LNB) to get it stronger

    By bsc621 doesn't have lines on it....but it's worth a try I guess. Is it possible I'm not inputting the right VPID & APID's. I'm getting them off Lyngsat? Like I said before, when I input VPID & APID for Wings for example, I use VPID:52 APID:51 then scan and get a channel: Ch-A but just a black screen with a signal of 50???? I'm stumped!

    can you manually scan the transponder (not a blind scan, just a TP scan)

    even though the signal quality says 50, if there isnt enough quality to keep a stable picture, it wont even scan in
