No Signal Issue (1 Viewer)

[Jason Halls]

Hi all,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me with an issue I am currently having with TV-Server;

The main issue I am having has only just started occuring, I had the wall outlet where the ariel plugs in for TV moved so it was behind my wall mount TV and not having a cable run up from the floor making it look un-tidy. Since that time, I can no longer receive two channels, both getting the error "No Signal"

When I attempt to re-scan for these channels, they do not get picked up and manually tuning them also does not allow them to be watched.

I thought this may have been caused by the bloke moving the outlet and called him back, he tested the signal om his meter and it came back good so we removed MP from the loop, plugging the ariel direct into the TV and all channels work without issue.

Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be?

No hardware or other changes made, so im at a loss.

Thanks

Is it SBS channels that are not working? I've heard rumours of frequency changes recently, so are you 100% certain MP is scanning/tuning the correct frequencies?

Actually, SBS works fine, its the fleet of ABC and NBN (Nine) channels which do not work, so essentially all of the following;

ABC1
ABC2
ABC3
NBN (Nine)
eXtra
GEM

etc

I run off the Gan Gan transmitter in Nelson Bay and have confirmed I have the correct frequencies as per this site - http://ozdigitaltv.com/transmitters/NSW/87-Nelson-Bay

I have the latest stable release of MP coupled with the TV Server.

Hmm, okay.

What brand/model of tuner do you have?
Are you able to post your TV Server log files?
1. Open TV Server configuration.
2. Click "open log directory" in the top left corner.
3. Zip up the files you find there and post/attach the zip file here.

Hi There,

I use the Digital Now TinyTwin USB DVB-t Tuner. latest drivers from the website, re-installed tuner last night to no avail.

Logs attached, hopefully they help

OK, reporting in to advise that this issue is now resolved.

The problem was indeed in the signal side of things, but here is the strange bit, the signal was too strong. After the bloke replaced the internal cable, it made the signal too strong and didnt work. He removed the booster and all channels now working perfectly!!

Thanks all

Thanks for reporting back Jason.
I must confess at first look your logs had me stumped. I came back to say that and obviously you have a solution...
