scan result - weak signal?

Added by Bob Rollins over 10 years ago

Does the following network scan log indicate a weak signal?
Jun 21 19:59:48.000 dvb: "/dev/dvb/adapter0" tuning to "195,028 kHz" (Initial autoscan)
Jun 21 19:59:52.035 dvb: "195,028 kHz" on adapter "Auvitek AU8522 QAM/8VSB Frontend", status changed to No signal

I'm running XBMC 13.0 on a Cubox-i2 with a Hauppauge 1191 WinTV-HVR-950Q tuner to a rooftop antenna. Scan of the atsc_us_ATSC_center_frequencies_8VSB network shows no services, but the above log on 4 frequencies. The others show "no signal."

it's a 50/50 thing. your best option to find out is to check 3 different ways.

1. aerial in the standard set top box/tv.
2. On your normal pc running windows and using the official drivers.
3. in linux on your normal pc.

see if they all work and if not you know that it's 1. the signal 2. the adaptor 3. the drivers/tvheadend if they all work the problem is with the Cubox.

I get a great signal on my HUMAX, on my PC, but not on my Raspberry Pi? It was great, then it went away. Nothing changed.
