Dvb-s2 part of hauppauges dvb-s2 cards (1 Viewer)

[skogh]

Is there any work going on to get the dvb-s2 part of hauppauges dvb-s2 cards to support the tvserver?

 

[Frodo]

Actually Yes
In fact.. all coding is already done and in SVN
Problem.. it doesnt work :-(
Why? no idea yet. I'm sure we've done everything correctly
so i've send an email to our contacts at hauppauge.
Hopefully they will tell us how to get it working..

Hi

with the latest SVN (23.07.2007) TV-Server found Premiere HD, Dicovery HD (both DVB-S2) and Astra HD Promo (DVB-S) with the Hauppauge Nova HD S2. With older SVN's my card does'nt find any DVB-S2 channels.

Is there any DVB-S2 relatet new code in the latest build? Why does'nt my card recognize channels like Prosieben HD and Sat1 HD?

Regards,
Chatwalker

Hi

I have a similar problem with Technotrend s2-3200. On thor 0.8w Im only able to find one of the s2 channels.

/H.

My HVR4000 has never found anything dvb-s2 (thor 0,8w), and the analog part isn't working either. According to the frontpage there is supposed to be full support for HVR4000 now, but currently there is a "bug" in the driver so it doesn't work !!?

But I still don't know if the analog part is supposed to work or only the dvb-s/s2/t

First.
To scan DVB-S2 transponders your .ini file should be correct.
For DVB-S2 the following information needs to be in the .ini file
- frequency
- polarity
- symbol rate
- modulation type
- inner fec
- pilot
- rollof

Here's an example for Astra 19.2:

2=12522,V,22000,8psk,2/3,on,0.35

Frequency = 12522 GHz
Polarity = Vertical
Modulation = 8psk
InnerFec = 2/3
Pilot=on
Rolloff = 0.35

We've supplied these values for the Astra 19.2 HD channels
but i'm sure its not supplied for thor 0,8w
You should manually edit the file and fill in the extra DVB-S2 information for the DVB-S2 transponders.

Second, about the HVR4000
There is a bug in the current driver version.
Hauppauge is aware of it and we expect a new driver soon.
In the mean time, Hauppauge gave us a workaround.
The workaround is implemented in TV3 and scanning DVB-S2 transponders should work, provided that the .ini file is correct.

Frodo,

Build 15327 is unable to scan for channels with HVR4000, turning the "enable dvb-s2 tuning features" on or off has no effect.

the 0.8W Thor 2_3.ini is formated like this:
20=11403,v,24500,78,DVB-S
21=11421,H,25000,23,S2

where 20 is a normal dvb-s transponder and 21 is a dvb-s2 transponder.

Also can you comment on the analog part of the HVR4000 ? Is it supposed to work, or will it in the future ?

21=11421,H,25000,23,S2

Like i said, this is wrong. the ini file should contain the values for fec,modulation,pilot and roll of
DVB-S or S2 is no use

Hello Frodo,

i use the lastet svn. But on Astra-HD TVE3 only found Premiere-HD and Astra-HD. Which driver for the nova-hd-s2 should I use? Did it work on WindowsXP, Vista or both?

Thanks!

First.

Pilot=on
Rolloff = 0.35

I can find everything but this info on lyngsat, I tried the same, didn't work. Any ideas on where to locate this info.

Also can you comment on the analog part of the HVR4000 ? Is it supposed to work, or will it in the future ?
