[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1198280, member: 82144"] Well, I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but let's talk about what's going on and see if we can figure it out together. :) In my opinion the fact that you're now getting "PMT timed out" errors instead of "failed to lock in on signal" errors is positive. I expect this difference is explained by the modulation change. A PMT time-out means that TV Server cannot find the service within the stream that is received from the tuner. This can happen for many reasons, including: [LIST] [*]TV Server (TsWriter) is not receiving any stream from the tuner [*]the tuner has locked on to the wrong transmitter/transponder, and so TV Server is receiving the wrong streams [*]the service has moved to a new transmitter/transponder [*]problems related to decryption (subscription issues, CAM incompatibility, incorrect config etc.) [/LIST] In your case I think the problem is likely to be one of the first two reasons. Unfortunately the log files can't tell us which reason is the correct one. This is going to make it a bit difficult to figure out what's going on. :( In relation to the first reason (no stream)... This can happen if the "preferred network provider" and/or "when card enters idle state..." tuner settings are not compatible with the tuner driver. So, you could experiment with different values for those settings. Keep in mind that the defaults - "generic" and "stop card" respectively - are the recommended values which are most stable for most tuners. In relation to the second reason (wrong transmitter)... I'm wondering if the motor is moving the dish to the wrong position. TV Server has associated DMAX (19.2E with stored motor position 1). Is that correct? Are you sure that the dish position is accurate for that stored motor position? When TV Server fails to tune and you immediately try the same channel with ProgDVB, does the motor move at all? What do you mean by "LNB compatibility"? (From what I've seen in the log files, to me it seems unlikely that the problem has anything to do with the LNB.) So to be clear, after a PMT time-out happens, what is the result if you: [LIST=1] [*]Try to tune another channel from the same transponder? [*]Try to tune another channel from the same transponder, then try to tune the failing channel again? [*]Try to tune another channel from a different transponder on the same satellite? [*]Try to tune another channel from a different transponder on the same satellite, then try to tune the failing channel again? [*]Try to tune another channel from a different satellite? [*]Try to tune another channel from a different satellite, then try to tune the failing channel again? [/LIST] ...and in all the above cases, is the result reliable/consistent? [/QUOTE]
