While it is fun to binge-watch on your free days, we all know how irritating it is to get interrupted in between with a No Signal message. So how can you fix this fast and get back to your show? We are going to give you a few home remedies for DTH no signal problems 😊

Did you knowA major cause for No Signal is poor weather!

A heads Up

If you are waiting to install your DTH connection, there are two basic points to note. These two points are what you have to ensure during the installation. Taking care of the below-mentioned factors will help you watch shows smoothly to a large extent. So let us get started.

1. Get a KU band transmission service

We have this on top of your article because as per our research, poor weather is the cause for signal loss in most cases. When there is heavy rain or storm, signal transmission is affected badly. This is why most of you cannot view your favourite programmes during poor weather.

You should get a KU band transmission service rather than a C band transmission. Check with your service provider about this during installation itself. C band transmission, the signals spread out, however, there is no fine transmission. What you need is a KU band transmission for precise signal transmission.

2. Install only good quality transponders

You must be at home when your DTH is being installed. Proper installation is the best way to avoid getting the No signal messages later on. Installing good-quality transponders ensures that there are no chances of bad reception. Choosing a wrong transponder, frequent wire disturbances etc are some results of bad quality transponders.

3. Signal Strength

Remember to check the signal strength also during the installation. You can check your set-top box repair manual for details. Go to your menu setting -installation. You can check your signal strength and make adjustments to the strength yourself.

If this is during installation, you can ensure that the transponder receives maximum signals.

4. Signal Status

Always make sure that the signal status is strong. Check the set-top box setting from your dish remote and find the signal status from the INFO button. Find out the percentage of Signal strength and Signal Quality.

5. What is the difference between Signal Intensity & Signal Quality?

Signal Intensity shows whether your set-top box has been connected to the dish antenna correctly.

Signal Quality percentage values show the quantity of power reaching the LNB.

LNB – Low noise block downconverter on the receiving dish.LNB amplifies the signal and sends it down to your Television via the cable.

Alternate ways to get better signals

Here are some alternate ways to obtain stronger signals on your DTH service:-

• Always confirm that there are zero joints between the connection cables,
• Always use high-quality cables only for your DTH connections
• Make use of only good quality LNB devices to help to provide excellent noise blocking.
• Check for Connectivity issues
