Hey mm1352000,

Any further thoughts on this ? You mentioned getting a debug driver from TBS.... is that an option ? FYI, I just updated to v1.0.5 driver but no change

Argh, why do I keep missing posts in this thread - sorry.
Thanks for the information about your LNB.

Any further thoughts on this ?

Yes - one.
Could you try a scan with LNB settings set to { 10750, 10750, 10750 }. My thought is that current settings/code are causing the 22 kHz tone to be enabled for some reason. Normally that wouldn't make any difference... but with LNBs like yours it makes a huge difference (it tells the LNB to switch to the other "head", so you'd receive from Optus C1/D3 instead of Optus D1).

Regards,
mm

@Gizmozo
Any luck with the alternate LNB settings?

No idea if this is your problem but I had a similar issue where I had full signal but no channels detected on tbs. I even got a replacement card from them and still no improvement. Then I tried it in a separate pci slot (I used the pci 16 as I had no other pci e slots). Basically I assumed because i could see the signal strength that everything was fine but after moving the card to another slot it started working. It was a great day!!!

Hey mate, sorry been away. I tried this and no difference... still only picking up 20 odd channels on first scan so same deal...

I'll give erichzann's suggestion of moving the card a try .... I am desperate enough to try anything !

Hey @mm135200, thought I'd let you know I just had my LNB replaced and what do you know all TBS tuners are working fine. I had given up on MePo and have been using the STB.... But thought I would try things again and it all seems to be working touch wood
