Tapesh 2

How to use the listing reference

The table for Tapesh 2 includes Tapesh 2 at 10804 MHz, polarity H, with symbol rate 27500. Read the satellite and access notes alongside that row before entering the settings. The numbers describe one listed carrier and may be shared by several services.

When a receiver shows several versions of the same name, compare the satellite, provider and service information on each result. Standard-definition, HD and regional feeds may be separate services. Keep the existing entry until you have confirmed which version is available, and use the access note to determine whether a subscription is required.

Checking the receiver result

A signal strength reading can indicate that the receiver sees power or energy at its input. Signal quality is the more useful reading for confirming that it can lock to the selected carrier. If quality stays at zero, check the satellite selection, the LNB settings and the switch port. If several known active carriers also fail, inspect alignment and cabling before changing individual channel entries.

After the receiver locks, run a manual transponder scan and review the results by service name. Check the scan filter if the expected service is missing. A free-to-air-only filter can exclude encrypted services from the results. Save a working channel only after confirming that it matches the intended service, especially if the receiver already holds several similarly named entries.

Frequently asked questions

Which settings should I use for Tapesh 2?

Start with the relevant row in the table. Match the frequency, polarity and symbol rate together and check that your receiver is on the satellite named with the entry.

Why does a scan show signal but no picture?

Check whether the receiver actually has signal quality and carrier lock. If it does, verify that the service is still in the scanned package and that the receiver supports its video format and access requirements.

Will the same settings work in every location?

Reception depends on the satellite beam and the dish setup at your location. Compare the listed beam with your region, and use a known active transponder on the same satellite to check reception.
