Re: [WISPA] Re: Interference with TV

2006-03-16 Thread John Scrivner
We have seen this from local oscillator and/or CPU clock oscillator 
interference from wireless radios used for Internet access. The radios 
in question were a Trango Fox one time and a YDI Etherant another time. 
I am guessing any radio using an external connected POE driven board 
over unshielded twisted pair could act as an interfering source. Brand 
is likely not important.


This was corrected using RF Ferrite Beads installed at the cat 5 cable 
right as it comes out of the radio and at the POE end as well. If this 
does not fix it you will have to move the wireless radio or TV antenna 
apart farther than they are now.

Cheers,
Scriv

Hi Bill,

I am copying Marlon on this so he will reply as soon as possible.  He 
is out of the office today.  You could try calling him this evening on

   We have good internet speed most of the time and I am happy with my 
setup. Occasionally we loose the internet for some reason, and I have 
to shut off the power to the receiver. This always seems to reset 
everything. All in all we have been very happy, however lately we have 
been having a problem which seems to be getting worse as time goes by.
   Lately, our TV picture becomes pixilated and breaks up, and the 
sound is also disrupted. It seems to happen anytime. (maybe some 
program on the computer is accessing the internet?) If someone gets 
online the TV becomes so bad that at times it is unwatchable. This 
seems to have become progressively worse over the last two or three 
weeks. If I turn off the power to our internet antenna, then we have 
no problem with the TV at all, so I can only presume that the Internet 
antenna is disrupting the signal that our Dish Network antenna is 
receiving. The Dish Network antenna is a duel LNB antenna and this 
problem only occurs on certain channels, so maybe only one LNB is 
bothered by the internet antenna? Is the internet antenna failing and 
sending out interference? Is one of the LNB's on the Dish Network 
antenna failing, or is this just signal interference, and if so, how 
can we get rid of it?
   We would like to be able to use the internet at the same time that 
we are watching TV, so anything you can do to help me would be 
appreciated.

Thanks

I note some of the respondents are thinking satellite.  I'm thinking 10baseT 
or 100baseT bleeding into the household coax distribution.  Any chance the 
ethernet runs alongside the coax for any length somewhere within the home? 
With cable TV I've seen ethernet put interference on the screen for weak 
cable stations.  Since the sat dish is outside and we're talking wireless 
Internet coming in from outside too, any chance the ethernet is running 
along side the coax that feeds the inside satellite decoder?  That might be 
able to take out all TV.

Re: [WISPA] Re: Interference with TV

2006-03-16 Thread Jason Hensley
Not with Dish Network, but I have with the Musak dishes.  I mounted right 
under one of their dishes on my client's rooftop.  After I turn it on their 
music started skipping and cutting out.  I relocated to a few feet away and 
the problem went away.  I honestly didn't ask questions and didn't worry too 
much about it - I just know that with my box on (a Tranzeo TR-6015) the 
music would skip.  When we would turn off the Tranzeo it would not.  So, I 
just moved it, no big deal.

I know you're not asking if something between two and six gigahertz 
broadcasting at less than one watt could affect low megahertz spectrum. If 
your car horn honked every time you turned on the kitchen light, would you 
assume the kitchen light was honking the car horn? Whatever the problem is, 
it belongs to Echostar, not you. - cw
