Hi there,

all installed well but when scanning for channels it shows no signal.
Then I've imported a channellist from my running rig and mapped the stations to the card accordingly.
When I start then a preview( in tv-server management console) a window pops up an shows "Unknown error".

After that I tried DVBviewer (from technisat) and I can tune in. All works well.

Is anybody out there with a running MP 0.2.3 single seat config with this tv-card?

Meanwhile I ordered a sat-dish amplifier coz I guess that this card needs maybe a higher signal-level.
That's just a guess but would be odd.

I hope that anybody is able to help me out.

maybe some logs could helpful...it's the logfile of the tv server management console.
I used the export.xml from my running rig with a tt-s2 3200 and tried to use the preview

I found something in the tv.txt "....no bda receiver found..." wtf, is it a driver problem?

btw. I tried the amplifier...doesn't help.

While scanning (astra 23.5) I can only find dvb-s channels, for dvb-s2 channels I get no signal. Just for a test is used progdvb and I can find all channels (S and S2 channels). I tried TvServer with 'enable dvb-s2', but no difference.

Anybody got it working for DVB-S2 channels ?

Used Technisat/skystar Driver (BDA mantis 1.1.xxx)
Win XP sp2
TvServer 3 (weekly build,19843)

[ichessblumen]

do you have option to scan a second lnb "astra 23.5 HD"? if not, ask a developer.

I see for most of sats also a hdtv channels.ini file, but not for astra 23.5
does it mean i need this file ?

Same problem here with a Terratec Cinergy S2 PCI HD. Could someone make a 23,5E (Astra 3A/1E) HD ini file or tell me how to do it?.

Ps. the normal 23,5E file only mentiones the 1D satellite, but this has already been replaced by the 1E and 3A so I think the whol satellites list should be looked at (or doesn't the name matter)?

Thank you in advance.
