Setup DVB-S network but won't tune to some transponders?

Added by Kaya Saman over 9 years ago

Hi,

currently I'm trying to test my setup working with a few satellites which don't seem to want to scan.

This is my setup:

TBS 6991SE dual DVB-S/S2 card
Pentium i5 machine with 8GB RAM running Arch Linux v.4 kernel
TVH is version 4.1 git
Driver is OpenSource driver for card
Stab RotorSat H100 + dish w/universal LNB

I know I can tune into various dishes as I connected up Input A on the card and get a variety of TP's scanned! I added 160 orbital positions with every satellite that TVH has as a network.

- for some reason the system keeps jumping from 39E to 45E and missing 42E.

As a result I am currently testing on Input B, with an Advanced Network and single orbital position set to 42E network.

For some reason it just isn't tuning??

The documentation for my Rotor is here:

http://www.stab-italia.com/downloads/rotor%20sat%20division/hh100%20and%20hh120/Instruction%20Manual%20[EN-DE-IT-FR-ES].pdf

If TVH is setting voltage to 18V, that means: 1.8 deg/sec

1/1.8 = ~555.55ms (rounded to 556ms)

According to the same doc; latitude is 51.5 with longitude being 0, and site elevation or altitude being 22 meters.

The rotor is set to USALS with Satellite Longitude set to 42.

These settings have been put in to the config.

For some reason TVH keeps saying "No input source available" when trying to scan the 42E TP??

39E and 45E work fine but not this one?? What is going on....? The logs don't give me any usable information at all.

It's just weird!

Thanks for any suggestions..

So, apparently after setting "Initial Scan" on the tuner to ON and loading the MUX's from the template it scans...

However no data seems to be received??

Having used this site for other Transponders:

it has been quite accurate so far. Even then the FTA stuff should work?

Really weird!

Now trying with 28.2E too... signal is near 100% but BER is really high?
