faint or bad signal from all multiplexes

Added by Mike Fellows over 12 years ago

Hi All

Ive just setup tvheadend (version 2.12 using apt-get) and after hours of attempting to get it to work im totally stuck.

I have a Nova-HD-S2, i have this working fine with Kaffeine, the card is detected by tvheadend as a Conexant CX24116/CX24118 which I believe is correct.

when I goto the card and add the Astra-28.2 it says the signal is bad or faint for all multiplexes and finds no services.

I have turned off monitor signal quality as per a previous thread, and I have also tried adding a multiplex manually using the data from http://en.kingofsat.net/sat-astra2d.php

I have connected a satellite reciever to the connection and this reports a excellent signal and of course Kaffeine works with no problems.

any help would be appreciated, ive been at this for hours now

here is a post of my debug log

RE: faint or bad signal from all multiplexes - Added by Mike Fellows over 12 years ago

I have just deleted my install and created a new install from github

now running version: 2.99.13.gcfa65

problems identical to original post.

Update:

I have done a full scan using scan from dvb-utils, this works fine and returns 900+ channels

im really not sure what else to try

RE: faint or bad signal from all multiplexes - Added by MrRepel Joooow about 12 years ago

Maybe the local oscillator in you LNB has lost its preciese frequency. When you scan with DVB utils, are the transponder frequencies the same ?

RE: faint or bad signal from all multiplexes - Added by Brad Dennison about 12 years ago

Mike,

I have the same hardware and EXACTLY the same problem! I've been pulling my hair (whats left of it) out for hours.

I see it was 6months ago since you posted and wondered if you ever found a solution?

Many thanks

RE: faint or bad signal from all multiplexes - Added by Adam Sutton about 12 years ago

This certainly looks like a hardware issue to me.

Brad since you've got the problem now, maybe you could post an updated log, including which version you're using and we'll start again. Since things have changed quite a bit from when this was first posted.

Adam

RE: faint or bad signal from all multiplexes - Added by Brad Dennison about 12 years ago

Appreciate the reply Adam although I think I've sorted it. It was a blatant user error, which is now obvious and I feel a bit stupid posting. The scans initially only detected 24 channels and every freq scanned was bad or faint signal, when detected automatically from 28.2E, but I didnt check the 'autodetect muxes' switch. N00bworld.com. Rescanned it its picking up everything as it should.

I can confirm the Nova HD S2 works on Tvheadend perfectly :)

Thanks again!
