Gahhh!!!

I was really hoping SC Ten was up and running, we've got an install at Jerrabombera Heights tomorrow, I'ld like to give Tugg Hill a go for DTV from there, Blk Mtn's a pain as the heights is tucked in behind Jerrabombera Hill. We use Mt Taylor and Tuggeranong Hill with limited success for analog, I really want to see what DTV will do for that area.
Here's hoping

Are you sure, I've tried a few times at work today and couldn't get anything, just tried again at home and still nothing. Ch62 767.5Mhz is that what your STB is telling you?

Very sure, watching it at the moment.

Don't have a STB, only a DTV card.

Freq : 767500
Bandwidth : 7
VPID : 353
APID : 354

Ok Shane thanks for that, I'm almost tempted to get the meter out and climb on the roof, but I think I'll leave it til tomorrow.
See you Wednesday

SC10 seems to be only to be picked up using DTV cards by the look of things.

I have a VisionPlus DTV Card and I managed to scan in SC10 (frequency: 767.5MHz) like essess. On my Dad's Teac DVB300, we couldn't scan it in at all (tried automatic and manual scanning).

It's quite possible that SC10 has stuffed up a value on their transmitter setup or similar.

BTW. Signal strength is 61% and Quality is 98% using an old UHF outdoor antenna in my bedroom.

[{RainmakeR}]

I've added that exact frequency to my Aver software and it's not detecting anything.  All the other channels work fine when manually input using their reported frequencies.  So... is it Ten or the Aver?  (wouldn't be surprised if it's the crappy Aver software)

Hi Guys
Just back from doing installs, SC Ten is not quite right from Tugg Hill. The only STB to receive it so far has been the Strong 5300. My field strength meter won't give any readings except signal strength. I hope to talk to Ten today.

Ok, I spoke to SC Ten's engineer late this arvo, it seems they're out of town for the next few days, so I guess we have to wait for them to have a look and find out what's going on.
So far Ikusi, Humax & Teac STB's won't receive SC Ten from Tugg Hill, Strong 5300 will.

why do you think that only pc cards and 1 STB will pick up the signal?

Because to date that's all that has been able to receive ch 62 from this translator.

[datvman]

im not trying to be a smartalec, but there has to be a logical explanation for some STB's not recieving the signal

I agree, but I don't think the problem is with the STB's, SC Ten use the same V-pid & A-pid on ch 6 (main transmitter) & ch 62 (translator), as do all the other stations. Yet only one model STB (to date) has been able to pick up ch 62. Further my test equipment is unable to get all readings for ch 62, again no other problems with any other ch's. This is a new ch that has just been switched on (Monday 5th Jan), I might add that these tests have been carried out at 5 different locations, with the same results. Strange? you bet. Watch this space for more info.

Ps.
I don't think your a smartalec, all points of view are welcome and read with great interest.

Good morning fellow forum members

I am happy to report SC Ten is up and running from Tugg Hill. I received a phone call from Ten's engineering this morning and checked all my STB's at work and they all receive the signal.
Oh happy days

WOO HOO

About Bloody time.. That's all i can say...I'll believe it when i see it when i get home and do a rescan.. But anything is possable..

Thanks for the Help Gadget..

[datvman]

i shall watch in anticipation at all the regional area as most of there commercial services get switched on this year

[{RainmakeR}]

OMG, yes, it works!  YAY!!!!!!

Finally!!!

All stations working perfectly on my Aver... now if only I could enlarge the 4:3 tranmission?  

Something else I've noticed: on ABC's digital tranmission there is a thin white line of "garbled" stuff up the top left of the picture.  Anyone else get that?
