My wild guess would be: The satellite antenna you brought with you to the campground is not
accurately pointed at the satellite you're trying to receive from, and consequently the receiver
can't hear the bird.
Either that, or else there are trees in the way between you and the satellite.
Whatever the specific root cause, that message means the receiver isn't hearing any satellite signal.
So in addition to the suggestions above, some others are:
-- a bird sat on the end of the feed at the focus of the dish, and dropped a moist, radio-opaque load on it;
-- the cable came loose at the dish;
-- the cable got pinched in a hinge somewhere between the dish and the receiver, and broke;
-- the cable came loose at the back of the receiver;
-- a power supply failed somewhere, and the LNB at the dish isn't getting any power;
-- the "front end" of the receiver has failed;
A satellite receievr, is a tv receiver, which connects to the satellite anntena, than to your tv, and decodes the information coming from the satellite signal into video and audio signal, so you can watch tv channels.
The satellite is in space, the satellite receiver is on Earth. The rain is in the atmosphere between the satellite and the receiver. The more rain, the more of the signal from the satellite will be used up by the atmosphere on its way down instead of reaching the receiver.
Satellite TV Providers transmits the signals through their satellite dish converting it first from digital signals to analog signals. These signals which were converted will be transmitted to the satellite. The satellite will then transmit the analog signals per request of the satellite dish connected to the receiver of the subscriber. Once signals are received, it will be converted back to digital signals which can be read by the receiver and be displayed to the television.
The satellite signal uses microwave radiation and water absorbs microwaves. So when it rains or there are thick clouds the signal from the satellite gets absorbed and if enough is lost by this process your Dish Network receiver will lose signal
Yes. You will be needing a signal splitter to attach your satellite receiver to your television sets.
The LNB takes the signal reflected off the dish, sends that signal through the coax cable to the receiver, where the receiver decodes the signal unlocking the channels you subscribe to.
No you cannot. The receiver decodes the signal coming from the satellite that is unique to DISH Network.
You cannot convert a standard radio to receive the satellite radio signal. You will have to purchase a Sirius satellite receiver.
A GPS satellite emits a very precise and accurate time signal that the receiver can use to calculate it's distance from the satellite.
1 - programming source transmits signal to a DBS provider broadcast center (Satellite TV Providers) 2 - these satellite tv providers automatically assigns received signal from the programming source to their respective bands and transmits to the satellite dish. 3 - when a user requests for a band/channel, by using a receiver it will then requests the band from the satellite to a satellite dish connected to the receiver.
There is a signal meter built into the receiver. Just follow the instructions on the installation menu.
The dish on the outside of the house picks up the signal beamed down from the satellite in space. From the dish the signal is sent to the receiver. The receiver decodes the signal to provide the channels you subscribe to. If you aren't subscribing to a certain channel, a message will tell you so and that you can upgrade to the package with that channel.
