    Why Glomex TV Antenna equipment does not find the satellite (red led)?
    • A
      Andrew ParkAug 15, 2025
      If your Glomex TV Antenna equipment isn't finding the satellite and the control unit's LED is red, it might be due to obstructions like trees, buildings, or roof attachments blocking the satellite signals. Try moving your vehicle to a location with a clearer view. Also, ensure your vehicle is within the signal coverage area. If you have an S460M model, turn off the equipment for 10 seconds, turn it on again, and ensure the vehicle remains still or moves in a straight line for the first 60 seconds. Bad weather could also be a factor.

      James AguilarAug 18, 2025
      If you're experiencing intermittent images on your Glomex TV Antenna, it could be because satellite signals are being blocked by trees, buildings, overpasses, or mountains. Try moving your vehicle to a spot with an unobstructed view. It could also be that you're at the edge of the coverage area, so consider moving back within the coverage zone. Bad weather can also cause this issue.

    How to fix confused images on Glomex DISCOVERY S460S?
    • T
      Troy OrtizSep 7, 2025
      If you are experiencing confused, incomplete, and obstructed images with your Glomex TV Antenna, it could be due to condensation or rain on the radome. Remove any condensate deposits with a fresh water jet (not under pressure). Periodically apply a liquid detergent suitable for dishes (no alcohol-based detergent) to the radome surface and let dry up.

    Why Glomex TV Antenna operates with still vehicle but not with moving vehicle?
    • E
      Ethan BrownSep 12, 2025
      If the Glomex TV Antenna equipment operates when the vehicle is still but not when it's moving (S460M), it could be due to obstructions blocking the satellite signal. Try moving away from any obstacles. Also, check the antenna model to ensure it's suitable for mobile use.
