Extremely slow tv

pastimer · 2007-07-10, 08:37

Hi,

Switching tv on and changing channels is extremely slow (10 sec upto more than one minute). Anybody else got this? I used version 15124 of both MP-svn and TV-SERVER.
I use TT-s3200 dvbs with a z-cas cam. Will research further tonight.

Eppo

Try TVEngine 3...

I use TVEngine3 Snapshot: 05-06-2007 01-22h Revision 14527
An I have very fast channel changes.
Also make sure that your CAM setting is set on Dynamic.

If this does not work post you complete setup and drivers so that we kan help you better.

By tvserver i mean tve3. tve3 and svn are both from yesterday.
How do i set my cam to 'dynamic'?

i have a fair low signal level of 50-52% (quality 100). could that be a problem?

Hi pastimer,

yepp, could be the problem. With a lower signal it could cost more time to read the pmt.

About your Cam. To change the settings of your cam, you must use a camcontrol soft. Most bundled to your original card software.

Hi,

i've the same problem, sometimes MP even hangs up...

This is only with the TV-Server, MP without TVServer works fine, but with MP my skystar auttune crashes after ~30% ...

Is there a (smart) way to convert the TV-Server Channel-XML File so i can import it in the MP-TV?

bye

Erbsenkopp · 2007-07-11, 11:09

Hi Lotti99,

at TV3 there is no Channel-XML File. The Tuningdetails are saved at the database.

regards,
Erbsenkopp

PS: Look if the scanning crash always at the same transponder. Maybe it will help to delete them.

For those crashes, have you installed:

And you have a TT - S 3200 ?

I have the same problem, takes 8-10 s to change channels. I'd like to try the "Dynamic" CAM setting but i can't find any software that allows for setting this for the TT - S 3200 card.

Perhaps someone on this forum that can help with this ?

Edit: tried with the Technotrend app, got it working with the 5.0.0.2 drivers. Switching channels takes around 3 s to get the first picture, then 3s more before it starts "rolling". So around 6 seconds. Tried with two channels that aren't encrypted. Instant switching. So it's definitely something with the CAM, CI..

Edit 2: i have a Conax 4.00e CAM.

The Dynamic setting has nothing to do with the TT - S3200...
You should have had some software with the CAM where you can change the CAM settings.

With my CAM (it is a different one) its is called Common Interface and it shows as a small CI logo where I can rightclick to change CAM settings...
