Fix 5G Interference on C Band Satellite TV with a 5G Filter LNB - FTA Satellite Television

[@marshmower]

An active filter? Maybe I shouldn't have bought the receiver yet. I always buy the cart before the horse. 😅

[@jibrielanas4710]

Good signal 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for watching!

I have a C plus Ku band FTA receiver. It runs directly off 12 volts. Now I can buy the Titanium 5G ready LNB. I don't have a huge dish, and I very likely will never find a good one. I'd rather find a carburetor rebuild kit for a 1930's derrigible. Most FTA watchers will never find a huge dish. Surplus? That's not going to be easy. ....You should get those six sided crush F connectors overboard , and procure some cable TV grade F connectors. You can even remove them and reconnect them and the quality is no comparison.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@stanleybest8833 I’ve got compression connectors. I just haven’t made the time to change those out yet.

[@tepinme1]

I would like you to make a video on installing two ku lnbs on one dish. Thanks, Don.

[@marksandquist4275]

good video this explains a lot

[@Antonio-yf2yl]

This is from the southeast of Brazil, 5g arrived in my region 1 year ago and even finding the satellite is difficult, as the signal varies a lot.

[@gilsonsoares-mz2lc]

no KZbin tem vídeos dos pakitanes e árabes fazendo modificação em lnbf banda c, trocando o cristal oscilador interno por outro valor nos novos lnbf ? .tem até os rádio amador utilizar Lnbf ku modificado pra usar em recepção de sinal no satélite do Quatá...Q100.

I live in a place with 5G network and live very close to the tower, but never had problems with Ku Band satellite and UHF TV reception, both have a 4G LTE filter. I read a few months ago that C Band satellite can be heavilly affected by 5G and the frequency band is reduced in order to avoid interferences. In Europe C Band is rarely used, only If you want to receive russian or pakistani channels. Regarding UHF TV reception, on my AMIKO TSC 1270 digital meter when I connect any UHF antenna on 800 MHz I can see the 4G/5G interference despite the fact that all my Yagi antennas have 4G LTE filter and frequencies above 790 MHz are cut off. Even if I connect a new UHF antenna with 5G filter I still can see the 5G signal on my digital meter. If you connect to an analog TV on 800 MHz there is weird static.

[@DJSubAir]

See this is the comment I was looking for. I wanted to know if people are actually experiencing interference yet if at all and what exactly did they experience in that case, some channels missing or all of them, what ever the case may be

[@Nicholas_Chris]

@@DJSubAir In Europe in the analog days UHF TV band was between 470 - 862 MHz, or channels 21 - 69 After the digital transition and the launch of 4G LTE the UHF TV band was reduced: 470 - 790 MHz, channels 21 - 60 and it was the first time when 4G filters were available for regular UHF antennas. The new antennas already had a 4G filter built in, for both passive and active. Also the VHF/UHF combiners have this filter. With the launch of 5G the UHF TV band again was reduced: 470 - 690 MHz, channels 21 - 48 same scenario like the 4G. In my case I never experienced interfernce, I can use an old UHF antennas and get crystal clear picture, no breakup. No need for filter and I live very close to the 3G/4G/5G broadcast tower (a few hundred meters) and there are 2 broadcast towers, while the TV broadcast tower is 30 km away. When 4G was launched we still had analog TV but the picture was excellent , in digital age there are no problems. On UHF I receive TV stations and channels 26, 33, 42, and these are the same frequencies used in the analog days. In fact the frequencies never changed only transitioned. In some areas TV frequencies close to 4G/5G may be heavily affected but a filter will solve your problem. If you use a VHF/UHF combiner, note that the combiner already has a filter built in. The best part is when both your antenna and combiner have 4G/5G filter built in and this way you won't have problems. With digital meters if you connect a UHF antenna you will see on 700 MHz and 800 MHz the 4G/5G signal even with a filter. Or connect to any TV and search in analog TV mode, you will see weird static. An amplified TV splitter will amplify your phone signal on UHF but with a filter it won't affect the reception. No problems on Ku Band satellite TV at the present time and I use the AMIKO ECO QUAD LNB with 4G filter, I also use the RT Inverto LNB.

[@TheMeduci]

You are likely seeing >600MHz RF carriers from T-Mobile, and 700MHz to 900MHz from AT&T and Verizon. You will need an external antenna filter that starts at 610MHz. Since domestic over-the-air terrestrial television broadcasting does not now extend past actual channel 36, which stops at 608MHz.

[@mikebloodworth9258]

Its a shame they could not make the C238 as a PLL version and incorporate a sharper filter that rolls off at 3.7GHz and not 3.8GHz as I miss some transponders around 3.74 GHz down in Australia where we have a lot of C-Band signals.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@mikebloodworth9258 I hear you. I think this LNB is more or less designed for the North American market, as all of the transponders in North America have migrated above 4000 MHz now on account of 5G service utilizing the 3700 and 3800 MHz bands. However, there are still South American transponders that use the 3700 MHz band, so an LNB with the full receiving bandwidth of 3700 to 4200 MHz would be needed to receive those; however, the 5G cellular signals transmitting all over North America might make that impossible in many areas.

[@btudrus]

Are only 5G towers the problem or the mobile devices in the vicinity as well?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

It’s the 5G towers that are the problem.

[@user78405]

have you tested with 5g scalar filter what Australians use ? does those work ?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I haven't tried those filters.

[@user78405]

@@NorthcoasterHobby good for replying back , it's good we can share experiences with other fellow who also into this as I am since gotten 10ft dish is now I finally noticed interference now from 3.7 to 3.8 band on every sat...and I thought it would never happen to me until now that I have unable get stable signal for lower band. And I was thinking it may or may not work as others suggested that adding reflectors shielding around your dish that might block all signals from each sides only down side, is your dish be stuck in one position any sat is above 97w to 125w maybe.. haven't tested that theory or having a huge aluminum wall around your yard ...like a tall fence around the satellite that might work to get lower band siqual stable but like everyone said, just wait until they move everything to upper band...some decided go extra mile like what eutelsat planning to add extra upper frequency from 4.5 to 4.7ghz

[@hunterdixonrickthewalkingd6567]

Is it possible to use the filter with Ku band? 🤔

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

No. The filter is specifically designed for 5G frequencies affecting C-band. KU band satellite broadcasts on a totally different bandwidth of frequencies (much higher frequencies), and is unaffected by 5G interference.

[@mdzubayerhassan.mollah1618]

Good information ❤ i want to know i have same problem in ku band satellite .how can i filter 5g 4g lte please answer

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

For C-band satellite you must use an LNB with a built in filter like in the video. But 5G should not cause problems on KU band satellite because the frequencies are much too high to be near 5G frequencies, at least in North America they are.

[@hassanfenomenal9114]

we have N78 bands 5G , so wat you say ? Infact i just ordered T 238 ( performance plus) , will it work?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Most likely it will.

[@firozkhan6346]

Very nice Bhai price

[@hassanfenomenal9114]

Will it be work in Jeddah , Saudia arab?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

The LNB will. But the 5G filter is only needed where there is 5G interference.

[@TheMeduci]

You should be using the 'blue' inline LNBF satellite filter now, and not the 'red' one. All transponder spectrum below 4GHz should be cleared, so the 'blue' filter addresses that spectrum.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Thank you, I will look into that.

[@xosemartinez1131]

I installed Titanium C238 one year a go work ok until now pixilation problem again.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

You might need a blue filter; it has a band pass of 4.0 to 4.2 GHz.

[@genericdude6551]

I have the C138 and it does not eliminate 5G interference when I point to the west. Eastern satellites are fine. So the Titanium LNBF is not the best solution.

[@dentonrandall961]

Yeah I got the same problem with by t mobile home enternet and phone i can walk to the cell tower in 10 minutes.I have a c ku band doese that so I'll chane it out

Sorry you are stuck with "compromised" equipment. Guess that's why it's called a "hobby".
