New Crystal Palace Mux issues

Added by P D almost 7 years ago

Hi

recently some channels have moved from COM7 to COM8 on the crystal palace transmitter.
When i checked the predefined Muxes for the transmitter the COM8 mux wasn't listed, it's at 586Mhz(https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Crystal_Palace).
I have manually configured a new mux at 586Mhz. The remaining settings I copied to be identical to the 570Hz predefinied mux(COM7).

When I scan, several services are detected on the mux. The problems start when I try to map the channels. Some are mapped, some are not. Two in particular CbeebiesHD and BBC4HD.
When I try to manully play these via the web interface using VLC, Cbeebies HD will start but it takes around 30s. In the log there are many continuity errors before it starts.(Sorry I am not in front of it now but I can paste the exact logs if it will help).
This means I am not able to record from this channel as the Libreelec front end connection seems to time out before the recording has a chance to start. I cannot make BBC4HD display at all.

Channels on other muxes are staring within a few seconds. Any suggestions as to what the issue may be here?

Thanks in advance

Pete

Are you certain that the transmitter is running at full power? I had a similar problem with the Sandy Heath transmitter last week; the COM7 and COM8 muxes were unusable despite the various TV websites reporting no issues or maintenance work. Full power was restored on Thursday.
