There is no Tricolor signal on all channels: reasons, what to do?

The largest domestic satellite television operator, Tricolor, offers its customers a thoughtful line of tariff plans with good value for money. The operating principle of the system is based on the interaction of technical equipment and software.

If the client does not have a Tricolor signal from a satellite dish, the reason may lie in the installation and configuration of the system, or in software failures. The subscriber can diagnose and fix the problem without operator intervention.

Why is there no signal on Tricolor TV today?

Planned work directly affects the ability to use Tricolor services. If employees are updating equipment or performing scheduled server maintenance, you will be notified in advance. It is recommended to periodically visit the news section of the company's official website, where you can obtain information about work dates. Additionally, it is recommended to subscribe to the newsletter by email; this can be done in your personal user account. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to the main page of the control panel;
2. Go through the registration and further authorization process. To do this, you may need unique data from a copy of the service agreement;
3. Having gained access to the system, go to the settings section, enter your contact email address and confirm your consent to receive the newsletter;
4. Save your changes.

The Tricolor message “No signal from satellite dish” is often associated with bad weather conditions. Snowfall, fog and heavy rain may prevent stable transmission of data packets. To verify this reason, ask a neighbor or relative living in your area to check the functioning of the system.

Prevention on the channel

Most often, such work is planned, and subscribers are notified in advance by an appropriate email. If there was no letter, then you can go to the official website of the operator and look for this information there. You can also call the hotline numbers. You can ask your neighbors or friends who also use the services of this operator - do they have a signal? If they also don’t have a signal, then most likely this is due to preventive maintenance, or to some unforeseen equipment breakdowns at the provider itself.

Causes

If the lack of signal is not associated with planned work or natural phenomena, the problem lies in the technical and software equipment. Since you do not broadcast all channels, the reasons may be as follows:

• incorrect functioning of the system or incompatibility of the firmware. You will need to reset the system to factory settings and reconfigure again;
• Incorrect connection of components. Recheck the installation of all cables in the appropriate connectors;
• The satellite dish cannot connect to the satellite. The installation must be carried out strictly following the parameters specified by the operator for your region.

Each of the above reasons is quite common and requires individual study, which will allow the client to diagnose it independently and in a timely manner.

Converter failure on the plate

This is one of the most common reasons for signal loss. In such cases, there is only one way out - buying a new converter. To check, you can install another converter that is in working condition. Experts recommend always having a spare converter on hand. You can replace it yourself if necessary.

Converter replacement:

• remove the old converter;
• install a new one without changing the position of the plate;
• check the signal level and quality on the screen;
• if the scales do not fill, then adjust the signal by carefully rotating the plate in the horizontal and vertical plane.

What to do if there is no Tricolor signal?

The simplest method of initial diagnostics is to completely disconnect the receiver from the network and power for 5-10 minutes, which will allow you to transmit basic data packets to the satellite and request a response when turned on again. If you cannot check the signal and the image is not broadcast, proceed to the next step.

Factory reset is a necessary measure that you should take when the above error occurs. This can be done using a standard remote control. Follow these steps:

Leave your review or complaint - Ask a question

1. Open the Settings menu. Depending on the version of the hardware device or software, the names and location of a specific function may change;
2. Find the item “Factory reset”, select it;
3. The system may prompt you to enter a system security code, which is set to "0000" by default;
4. Save the changes and wait for the actions to complete.

After the device reboots, you will be asked to re-enter the basic parameters and perform a manual or automatic channel search. If after these steps the Tricolor “No signal” error is repeatedly displayed on all channels, proceed to diagnosing the functioning of the software.

Why doesn’t it show and what are the ways to solve the problem?

1. Connection quality. There may be no signal due to a damaged cable or poor connection. To do this, you need to externally inspect the cable for damage; if you find a break or damage, you need to cut the cable in this place, and then connect it using F-connectors and a connector. Cover the cut area with insulating tape.
   If no visual defects are found on the cable, test it with a tester to determine hidden damage. If internal defects are detected, it is necessary to replace the cable with a new one. If the cable is in working order, it is recommended to inspect the connectors and plugs; there is probably a problem with them.

   If this is not the first time the cable has been damaged, then it is better to replace it with a new one.

2. Antenna. In case of bad weather or poor-quality installation, the plate may become deformed or change its position.
   The user needs to inspect the antenna externally for defects, and also make sure that it is firmly installed. If the fastening becomes loose, the antenna position must be adjusted again. You need to open the menu on the TV, then settings, and monitor the signal level on the screen. It is necessary to achieve at least 70-80% level of signal quality and purity, then securely secure the plate to avoid repeated displacement.
3. Receiver .
   This device acts as a signal receiver from the dish, transcodes it into a digital image and transmits the signal to the television receiver. To check its performance, you need to contact a person who has the same equipment and connect it to a working antenna. If everything works, then you need to look for the cause elsewhere. If the image does not appear, you must take the equipment to a service center for repair or replacement.
4. Converter on a plate. This device is attached to the dish and serves to receive the signal. It is exposed to the environment, causing it to break down. You need to buy an identical device and carefully replace the old one with a new one without changing the location of the plate. Next, you need to turn on the settings on the TV and check the quality of the incoming signal.
   If the quality is poor, you need to reproduce the auxiliary settings by adjusting the position of the plate horizontally and vertically.

   If you doubt your abilities, then call a technician from the Tricolor service center.

5. Weather. One of the most popular reasons why there may be no signal is the weather.
   If it is raining or snowstorm outside the window, the signal becomes significantly worse. Moreover, strong gusty winds can even move or bend the antenna. In case of severe frosts, ice may form on the plate, which also interferes with good signal transmission. In such a case, it is necessary to wait for the weather to improve, inspect the plate and, if necessary, return it to its original place. After these steps, the signal should improve.

External

In order to find the problem due to which there is no signal, you need to determine the reason for the lack of signal. There are three reasons why Tricolor users may not have a signal.

External reasons include the following:

1. Weather . One of the most common problems that cause no signal is weather conditions. If there is heavy snow, rain or wind outside the window, the signal level may deteriorate significantly. Man is powerless against the natural elements; all you have to do is wait for weather conditions to improve.
2. Preventative work .
   Another reason why the TV may not show. First, make sure that there is no signal on all TV channels, then you need to contact technical support and find out if there is any maintenance today. The operator will also inform you when the maintenance work is completed. Information about the work can be found by logging into your personal account on the official Tricolor website.
3. And the last external factor due to which there may be no signal is the formation of obstacles in the signal path .
   This option is worth considering if you have not used a TV for a long time (from six months). During this time, trees may have grown in the path of the signal, or new buildings may have been built that interfere with the signal. To check this, you need to go outside at 13:00 and draw a visual line from your plate to the sun; there should be no obstacles in the way. If there are obstacles, they need to be eliminated. If this is not possible, then you need to install the plate in another location.

Domestic

Internal reason. Arise on the user side, these include the following factors:

• Incorrect signal source selected.
• The cable connecting the satellite and the receiver is damaged.
• Bad cable connection.
• The device is not working.
• The converter is damaged.
• Damaged plate.
• Changing the location of the plate.

What to do if nothing helps?

Make sure the receiver is properly connected to all components. Detailed visual instructions are included in the basic set of technical equipment. There is a high probability of incorrect installation of the satellite dish. The process of receiving and transmitting data packets requires strict adherence to setting the direction and degree of the dish. A detailed table is posted in the corresponding section of the official website and is freely available.

If you are unable to fix the problem yourself, help can be obtained from the service office. You can contact a consultant using a contact phone number or another popular method. Please inform the specialist in advance that “there is no Tricolor TV signal”, which will speed up the processing of your application.

Weather

Thunderstorms, strong winds, heavy rain, severe frost and other adverse weather conditions can affect the quality of the received signal. If there is no signal on some channels during a thunderstorm or wind, then there is only one thing left to do - wait out the bad weather, and then check the condition of the antenna.

During the cold season, ice, sticky snow, etc. may appear on the plate. You can carefully eliminate this cause, or you can do nothing if warming is expected in the near future.

Antenna malfunction

Very often, antenna malfunction occurs as a consequence of exposure to unfavorable natural conditions such as strong winds and heavy rainfall. In this case, as a rule, the side connections that hold the antenna in a certain direction become loose. Even a deviation of the antenna by 1-2 degrees leads to the fact that the satellite signal passes by it and problems occur in viewing Tricolor TV channels. To fix problems you need to:

• prepare wrenches for tightening the nuts,
• inspect the place, identifying possible sources of danger,
• stretch all antenna connections,
• tune the antenna by pointing the antenna in a certain direction until a clear signal is received.

When trying to change direction, each position must be fixed for 3-5 seconds. It is recommended to use the help of an assistant when setting up, so when setting up a specific rotation to receive a signal, you need to check its quality. The signal quality can be checked by calling up the banner by pressing F1 on the information channel. A scale of signal quality and strength is displayed at the bottom left of the screen. To be able to view a stable and high-quality image of a TV channel, both scales must reach 70%. When a good signal is received, you can stop working.

If it is impossible to set up the antenna yourself, you must seek the help of a specialist by calling him to your home. The technician will configure the antenna using the horizontal scanning method.

Every fifth resident of Russia uses satellite television. There is a satellite dish installed on almost every street, almost every house. For a large number of suburban residents, satellite TV is the only source of communication and information about what is happening in the country and the world.

Among the few satellite television operators, the undisputed leader in the number of subscribers is Tricolor. It is from subscribers of this provider that I hear the question: “Why did the signal from the satellite dish disappear?” What we will discuss applies to all satellite dishes and all satellite operators. Today I will tell you about the most common reasons why the signal from your Tricolor satellite dish may disappear.

Before the image from your TV screen reaches the retina of your eyes, the signal must go through several stages. Far in space, at a distance of three and a half tens of thousands of kilometers, from an artificial earth satellite, the signal is transmitted to the globe. Due to its shape, the satellite dish receives this signal and focuses it to the center. It is in the center that the satellite converter is located, which receives this signal and transmits it via an antenna cable to the satellite receiver, which in turn converts this signal and transmits the finished picture to your TV. Why am I talking about this? It is very important that you understand the mechanics of the process. This will make it easier to understand what I will talk about below.

Satellite dish is out of order

In order for the image to be of high quality and not get lost, it is necessary that the satellite antenna, including the Tricolor, be carefully secured and well configured. A few millimeters are enough for the signal from the satellite to weaken or disappear altogether. Even if the plate seems to be firmly fixed, it can move along with, say, a house that stands on a poor-quality foundation that reacts to soil heaving. Also, for example, the antenna may lose orientation to the satellite, including if it is installed on a tree and the tree sways in the wind. The tree tends to grow, which also changes the spatial position of the antenna. It is not uncommon for snow or ice to fall from the roof onto the antenna, which led to mechanical damage to both the antenna mirror itself and the wall support elements. I also encountered that over time, the bracket fastenings, especially on a wooden surface, can weaken, which leads to the displacement of the plate. I'm not even talking about what strong hurricane winds can bring. You can set up a satellite dish yourself; to do this, read this article or order the service of our specialist.
