    note: MediaPortal always determins a signal level of 0 for the Skystar2. even when it is working. seems like the dirvers do not support the sharing of the signal level?

    --------------MediaPortal Client -------------

    Configuration: Network - 1 TV-Server -> streaming

    Test1:
    1. start TV-Server -> tv-server starts to grab epg from VIVA
    2. start MediaPortal
    3. enter MyTV
    4. tune SAT.1
    5. MyTV displays "no video/audio detected"
      View attachment 1276
    6. close MediaPortal
    7. stop tv-service
      Logs: View attachment 1278

    Test2:
    1. start TV-Server -> tv-server starts to grab epg from SAT.1
    2. start MediaPortal
    3. enter MyTV
    4. tune SAT.1
    5. after ~4seconds MyTV displays SAT.1
      View attachment 1277
    6. close MediaPortal
    7. stop tv-service
      Logs: View attachment 1279

    This can be repeated endlessly. somethimes it works. soemtimes it doesnt.

    Additional information:
    I have tested the same precedure 10 times with an Hauppauge NOVA-T USB2 Stick.
    It NEVER showed this behaviour. MyTV always showed the selected channel.


    It seems like this is a Skystar2 specific issue.


    --------------manual conrol-------------

    Test3:
    1. start TV-Server -> tv-server starts to grab epg from SAT.1
    2. enter manual control
    3. start TS for SAT.1 (on Skystar2)
    4. TV-Server started timeshift
    5. start VLC on PC in the LAN and connect to the stream
    6. works. VLC can display the stream.

    repeated this test 10 times. starting timeshift in manual control always worked.
    VLC was always able to connect to the stream over the lan.

    EDIT:
    "no Video/Audio detected also occurs in manual control!"
