No S2 - HD channels found in channelsearch (1 Viewer)

[Laban]

My problem is that the TV-Engine doesn't find any S2 (HD) channels when i do a channelsearch.

Then i read this:

http://www.satpro.se/detailes/detailes.asp?art_nr=6335606

They basically say that this is the only CAM module (that they have at least) that works with mpeg4, HD channels.

Is this correct, do i need a special CAM module för mpeg4, hd ? And if that's the case, is that why i can'd find any S2-HD channels ?

Correction: i can find the Canal Digital HD channel but i think that they're using mpeg2 currently. Or at least DVB-S.

Ok, turns out that i do get all DVB-S2 (HD) channels in the technotrend application. And i had a chat with a guy at another forum and he's using the same CAM module (Conax 4.00e) and tv-card (TT-S3200) as i do and it works just fine. That's in DVB-Viewer though.

Still nothing in the TV-Engine. Anyone here that might know what the problem is ? Is this even supposed to work currently ?

Hi Laban,

did you select the HD Transponder before search ?

I just selected the satellite, in this case 0.8W Thor 2/3. Exactly the same as i do with the Technotrend application.

But you're on to something, perhaps it's just the transponder list that's missing the transponder's that i need. I'll try to update the satellite list and if that doesn't work add one of the channels manually.

 

[Laban]

Nope, that's not it. Checked lyngsat and the correct transponders are available in the list for Thor 0.8W.

I also noticed that it get's a "No signal" on these specific transponders.

Here's what i see in the log for one of the transponders:

You have to add mudulation type for the dvb-s2 transponders

For example

19=11434,V,25000,8psk,2/3

Thanks jaobr, that solved the problem. I changed these lines in the 0.8W Thor2_3.ini file and now it works:

21=11421,H,25000,8psk,23,S2
22=11434,V,25000,8psk,23,S2
