Like seriuosly, this is becoming a real
pain in the ass. I mean you buy an account, load it and the two most
important channels to you are not visible. You run to your friend or
neighbor using another model of qsat decoder, and lo and behold he is
watching those two channels on his. You want to start causing your luck,
you are already planning to even buy another qsat decoder… Well before
you take a drastic decision, read this and see how it can help you solve
this headache of ss3ni, ss5ni or ss7ni missing after scanning your qsat
decoder.First thing first, this problem is not native to all qsat models. In fact it is common on some q13g, speed hd s1 and q23g. Q11g hardly have these problems.
CAUSES OF THIS PROBLEM
The problem is predominantly hardware. It ranges from a dish that is not properly or evenly tracked, to a defective diseq switch. However there is also a software side to it. If you have not upgraded your decoder to the latest firmware downloadable on www.lemmymorgan.com, then you may experience this. Also it can be a factory fault.PREREQUISITES
- You must be within the footprint of ss3ni, and ss5ni. Most eastern Africa Countries cannot receive this channels no matter what. ssni channels are supposed to be locked to Nigeria while ss3,ss5 and ss7 channels are for the rest of Africa. So am afraid if you are in a country where the you cannot receive this channels, this trick will not work for you.
- Secondly, make sure your disecq switch is not faulty( I mean, make sure other channels are not displaying Bad signal intermittently even in good weather condition)
- Finally make sure your dst* signal is very strong for the remaining channels that are showing
TWEAKS TO FORCING SS3nI, SS5NI and SS7Ni back on QSAT DECODERS
- The first trick is the most potent one. it is a situation where you manually add the missing tp and rescan to get those channels. To learn how to manually add a tp to qsat, please read my article here. Then manually add any of the following TPs and rescan your decoder: 12225 H 27500 or 12226 H 27500, 12216 H 27500 or 12207 H 27500.
- If the above does not solve your own case(of which it does solves 98% of genuine cases) then try the following tricks posted in the comment section by a member: to get s3ni d easiest way do put the lnb cable into lnb out / loop that is the second port of your qsat not the first one which is lnb in. Then scan with 12207 H 27500. posted by an installer from kaduna Nigeria.
- The last but not the list is somehow inconvenient due to the fact that you may need to buy an lnbf (which i do not think is necessary because the first two tweaks must solve your case unless your anre in a part of Africa where you cannot receive ssni channels) Those who are having problems with their ss3ni and ss5ni should created a short cable with earth connected to both end and plug one end to the lnb out of the Qsat decoder and the other end to a working lnbf and you will enjoy your ss3ni. Note that you should leave the lnb in as it is.thanks.
