BBC 3 & 4 distorted signal

Scania46 · 22-03-2011 7:37pm #1

For the last few days BBC 3 & 4 signals have disturbances. It looks like the type of pattern of interference you get before a channel disappears.

Movies4Men 1 & 2 also disappeared.

Any one knows what is going on? Have to see the last part of the Danish the Killing tomorrow.

DECT phone interference probably.

What does that mean?
I am using FTA.

My BBC 3 & 4 on sky are working perfectly

What does that mean?

a wireless phone handset. DECT

Scania46 · 22-03-2011 8:37pm

Is there any reason why our wireless phones should suddenly interfere with the reception and what can I do about it?

Minstrel27 · 22-03-2011 8:55pm

Have you unplugged your phone to see if that is the cause?

John mac · 22-03-2011 8:56pm

^^^^^^^ try that first..

has the base station been moved ? whats ch 4 and e4 like? they are usually the ones affected.

All other chanels are fine. Last Saturday the BBC 3 & 4 showed the no signal sign. Since then they have come back but with the interference.

BBC 3, 4 are on different transponders which makes interference a little less likely. Have you tried deleting the existing two channel entries and doing a rescan?

I have tried to scan in BBC3 and 4 using the values 10773H 22K and 10803 H 22K, but get the answer that there are no new channels.

I have also noticed that all English BBC channels are registering "No Signal".

Yes, I deleted the channels before I tried to scan in them again.
Friends with sky say they get the message not in service.

BBC3 and BBC4 are fine here on those freqs. In order of probability, the likely causes are:

Dish out of alignment > Damaged cable > Damaged LNBF >>> Damaged Receiver.

Strange thing is that all other satellite stations are perfect.

BBC3 and BBC4 share with CBBC and CBeebies.

You will only see BBC3 & 4 in the list if you do your scan after 19:00 when they start broadcasting.

I tried to scan in BBC 3 & 4 this evening and still no luck.

As I said I phoned around to friend with both sky and fta and none of them had these stations. Movies4Men are also gone. Does any one know what has gone wrong?

mjsmyth · 24-03-2011 10:53pm

No problem with any of those channels here....

John mac · 24-03-2011 10:55pm

Mine are all fine.
