- I realized that my original post, probably was in the wrong place if I wanted 'support', so here it goes again!

I have a problem with my HD/H.264 Channels from Viasat - Broadcasted via DVB-S2
(All my other Viasat channels works fine - eg. 'Normal' TV1000)

Viasat Sport HD
NatGeo HD
TV 2 Sport HD
TV1000 HD
SVT HD

After adding the two below lines to my transponder-file, MP was able to tune the above channels - GREAT!!!

59=12399,V,27500,8psk,2/3,on,0.35
61=12437,V,27500,8psk,2/3,on,0.35

BUT - When I try to watch the channels I don't get a picture - but I sometimes get subtitles and/or sound!
I am able to switch back to all my 'normal' channels without probles.

When I try to use the 'Preview' function on the TV-Server, I get a grey box/window + sound ?!?

I really hope you can help!

P.S.
My CAM firmware is 'SAUR 2.01-0610' (S007_Predasaur201_EXTENDED_BISS) if that could have something to say (but all my other channels do work as I said!)

Hello, MadDuke

I have exactly the same problem as you!
I think the problem is ralated to the "Open whole Transponder" parameter on FireDTV Card.
Here is a tree i started.
Here is also an interesting tree.

If i start "MP-Sever configuration", "Manual Control" push "Start Timeshift" or "Recording", my TS files is 0 Byte, when i select one off the HD chanals with problem. This must be a problem with TV-Server!

Is your system creating any TS files?

I have an Hauppuge HVR4000 card i can try later this evening!

Best regards ROYNE

Yes, i was able to watch TV-1000HD with Haupauge Card in preiew for some second, so i guess the problem is ralated to FireDTV Card.

se attached logfile for Haupauge Test at: 2008-09-22 20:18:27.298834 [4]: card: return not scrambled.
i have the same problem with TV1000Clasic (not HD) wroking with Haupauge but not with FireDTV. se this tree i created 2008-05-23

I have tried to do some further research, and it seems that Viasat has implemented a new 'version' of NDS on the HD channels. I'm not 100% sure this is true, but a lot of people claim that there is some hardware in the box that now does half the trick!!! (only for HD) and it no longer only is the box-id that the smartcard is paired to :-(
