I just purchased a new Beyonwiz DP-S1 and it is a beautiful piece of engineering - BUT - after successful installation and scanning I cannot get channel 10, either SD or the HD channel to work properly. {The picture badly pixellates every few seconds and the sound is intermittent and snap crackle and poppy...}
All other channels, ABC, Prime and Win work beautifully and 10 works perfectly on my Strong Box set up.

Anybody got any ideas on what to do or try next??

I have rescanned the channel, the firmware is up to date {ie Dec 2007}.

Thanks in advance.....

****UPDATE***** Looks like I fixed it........

First pass says that your aerial is all right, if another box works well.
My opinion of the BW is that the front end is not quite what it should be.

I had a Strong SRT5490, and using it on the more distant stations, it worked well.
I also had a DGTEC 5000I. When I placed the BW in their place instead, the quality of the received signal appeared to drop.
I replaced the mast head amp that I had to improve the signal gain. That made a difference, but i still had some bad pixellation at times.
If you still have the Strong available, maybe have a look at the sig strength of ch 10, compare it with the others, I think it was using the ""!"" key on the remote. This may help in understanding any signal strength differences between channels. This at leat will give you a relative strength indication. As opposed to the BW implementation, which I think is abysmal.

Then the next place to look would be the Info screen on the BW.
It will give you a mulicoloured icon on the bottom right. Even though I have not much faith in it as a signal level tool, it may give you a relative difference between the channels.

It seems that the display as red yellow green, with a black bar in the middle tries to give an indication.
But to me on my rig it just tends to show a go/no go capability. If I am down in the red, then yep, I have a real bad signal, and generally get a sig lost message on the screen.
If I am up in the higher portion of the green I find that it will work, but I know that on the distant signals, it still pixellates, and doesn't really give me a signal strength that I can use to mentally equate to a crummy signal.

Not sure where Conder is, but I think you are somewhere near Uriarra?
If that the case your aerial should be pointing at about 66 deg magnetic to Black Hill, or are you using another transmitter?
Tuggeronong? If that one, then you should be pointing at 106 deg magnetic.

I don't think that you will be able to resolve the problem via firmware etc.
maybe BW will come up with some better tuning of their front end. But I expect that will be some way down the track.

I would investigate your signal path.

Not sure how much confusion this will cause, but good luck.

After all that, I see you have fixed it, I would be very pleased to understand what it was, and if my info was just so much waffle.
Or was it that you had too may devices in your antenna chain?

Not sure... Just blind luck I believe - Canberra is in the middle of some turbulent weather at the moment so I'm guessing there must have been some interference due to that...

All is perfect now - I will let you know if it changes.......

Grampus - I worked out exactly what was causing the problem.... When I attach the WLan antenna{s} on the Beyonwiz the signal is interrupted on Channel 10 SD and HD.... Go figure......

Thats rather sad!
Just for interests sake, probably a silly question, had you enabled wireless in the config. It would probably be of interest to try and find out if the antennii are somewhat active even though disabled? Or is it possible that you had just caused a physical problem with your coax from the external antenna?

Maybe its now another reason for me not to pursue wireless networking on the BW.
I have had some stability issues with the BW, freezes, remote stutters and the like when I configured wireless, so I either plump for 30 metres of Cat5, or move the notebook next to it

Just pulled my wireless antennii off the BW, didn't help me with my bad reception on a distant station. Bother!!
Would have been nice if it did.
