Correct an impedance mismatchįor satellite terminals, the impedance of the modem, coaxial cable and LNB or BUC are normally all spec’d the same. If, however, everything above checks out, there might be a more nefarious issue – like an impedance mismatch. Should you discover that your cable or connectors are in less-than-perfect physical shape, or that your L-band or 10 MHz signals are lower than expected across the length of your coax – eureka! You’ve discovered the culprit behind the poor signal quality and it’s an easy fix. Find the reference and replace if necessary. A missing reference signal is usually the fault of the reference itself. Again, ensure the signal does not attenuate more than is expected for the cable in use. (LNBs are usually labeled as “external reference” if an external 10 MHz signal is required). If using an external reference LNB, check for the presence of a 10 MHz signal.If you can’t detect an L-band signal, go to the source: modem, LNB or Mux-Tee.What’s expected? Here is a quick reference guide: Ensure that the L-band signal is within the specified levels for your equipment, and that signal loss over the cable is not more than expected for the type of cable being used. This is a little trickier to measure as a spectrum analyzer is usually required. If your DC is okay, make sure the L-band signal is present at both the source and destination of your circuit.No power? Check the output of your modem or bias tee / Mux-Tee. If your power is fed via the coax cable, be careful not to short the center pin to the shield. First, use a multimeter to check that DC power is present at the terminating device (LNB or BUC) and that it’s at the voltage level required.If your satellite transmission cable and connectors check out, move on to your signal source: If you have a damaged connector, replace it. Also, make sure that the shielding is properly terminated on the connecter and no stray wire is shorting against the center pin. Not just the cable but the modem, LNB or BUC connectors as well. Broken, corroded or bent center pins – Visually inspect the center pins on each connector.If your cable is damaged, swap in a replacement. Look for kinks, broken sheath or loose connectors. Broken or kinked cable – Make sure you visually inspect the entire length of the coaxial cable between the antenna and your indoor modem.Issues along your transmission line are often responsible for loss of signal level and should be checked first: Inspect your coaxial cable and connectors Here are some handy troubleshooting tips for the next time you need to improve signal quality on either the transmit or receive path between an antenna and the modem. The good news is there is (usually) an easy fix. Sub-par performance due to poor signal quality can result in everything from angry customers and lost revenue to major government and military missteps.

For a single cable, only Input 1 will show. Input 1 Signal Strength and Input 2 Signal Strength should show a white bar that is over 60% white.Check the Signal Strength by pressing Services on your remote, highlight Settings, press Select go to Signal.If you see Not locked or Null you will need an engineer call out.If you have a single cable only Input 1 should show OK.The Lock Indicator for Input 1 and 2 should show OK.
Press Services on your remote, highlight Settings and press Select and go over to Signal.
