High band does not (always) work (1 Viewer)

[milagroso]

Hello Gregor,

my long-term-test did not show any irregularities until now, at least none that I would assign to Your DLL. So it seems to me that this simple solution (as I understood it) is a good one.

What are the next steps now? How will this modification be incuded in the weekly builds?

kind regards from Stuttgart

What I would like to know, if people are using diseqc switching with this patched dll. Mainly because with this patch my diseqc 1.0 configuration does not work. Only the primary satelite (Astra 19.2e in my case) works and scans. Others give a No Signal with all transponders (so not random).

Hi nwagenaar,

that seems logical. The function that I removed from the code is used for diseqc settings and without that function it can only work as if 'none' was selected for diseqc.
I think the developers either need to find out why this function causes such problems for people using no diseqc or simply skip that function if 'none' for diseqc was selected.
As a solution is probably not yet available for the coming svn I will try to find the diseqc setting from the code and then only skip that function if 'none' is valid for the channel to be tuned.
Anyhow that approach would assume that all channels that use other diseqc settings are working with a hauppauge.
Would be great, if you could give me a feedback then - I think I can upload the new dll a couple of hours after the svn appears.

TVLibrary Rev20078

Here the TVLibrary from Rev20078 (today's build) with a Hauppauge patch..
This time I did not skip the function 'SendDiseqCommand()' - instead I check for antennaNr = 0 and immediately return, if that is true.
So other diseqc settings should still work - the patch now only skips that function if diseqc is set to 'none' for the specific channel. So please check that it is really set to 'none' (at channel->edit->DisEqc: ), otherwise the patch will not work for environments without diseqc (like e.g. switch LNBs).

    public void SendDiseqCommand(ScanParameters parameters, DVBSChannel channel)
    {
      if (_isHauppauge == false) return;
      bool hiBand = BandTypeConverter.IsHiBand(channel, parameters);
      int antennaNr = BandTypeConverter.GetAntennaNr(channel);
      if (antennaNr == 0) return;
...
...

Will this little piece of Code build in the official Releases or will it be only an inofficial Patch?

Deutsch: Wird das denn nun auch in den offziellen Mediaportal-Releases enthalten sein oder wirds immer ein Patch/Mod von Dir sein?

Ich meine, nach dem aktuellen Kenntnisstand würde ich sagen, super Arbeit und weiter so. Ich konnte es bisher leider noch nicht testen, aber es gibt ja schon Erfolgsmeldungen.

Vielen Dank!

Hey Gregor,

iss their a special Terratec-Patch or does the Hauppauge-Patch work together with Terratec-Cards too?

Best regards.

Try this

Hi Jens,

not sure which card is found by TVServer - I suggest it is the generic BDA. The patch only works if a Hauppauge card is detected.
So I complied TVLibrary that will skip the SendDiseqc function for generic BDA cards.
To be sure I would need a startup log from TVServer from you.
But you also can test the attached TVLibrary.dll first.
If it does not work for you, post the TV.log from start of TVServer.
Also make sure that diseqc is set to none for the tested channel (check edit channel, tab dvb-s)

Another question: does the initialization trick work ?
(while TVServer is running go to card settings, change LNB Switch Frequency to something different e.g. 11705, go to the channels and try to preview a high-band channel e.g. ARD/n-tv...)


Good luck
Gregor
