[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1182574, member: 82144"] Hi It seems to be a simple case of signal strength/quality problems. In the first set of log files the problem occurs like this... Happily watching RTL: [2016-03-10 22:17:51,248] [Log ] [20 ] [INFO ] - Controller: find free card for channel RTL Television ... [2016-03-10 22:17:52,105] [Log ] [20 ] [INFO ] - card: WaitForFile - video and audio are seen after 0,0542978 seconds Try to switch to SAT.1: [2016-03-10 22:17:56,385] [Log ] [20 ] [INFO ] - Controller: find free card for channel SAT.1 ... [2016-03-10 22:17:56,520] [Log ] [20 ] [INFO ] - card: [B]Tune on card 3[/B] to subchannel SAT.1 ... [2016-03-10 22:17:59,734] [Log ] [20 ] [INFO ] - dvb: LockInOnSignal could not lock onto channel - [B]no signal or bad signal[/B] ... [2016-03-10 22:18:00,146] [Log ] [20 ] [INFO ] - Controller: Timeshifting failed, lets try next available card. ... [2016-03-10 22:18:00,151] [Log ] [20 ] [INFO ] - card: [B]Tune on card 4[/B] to subchannel SAT.1 ... [2016-03-10 22:18:03,394] [Log ] [20 ] [INFO ] - dvb: LockInOnSignal could not lock onto channel - [B]no signal or bad signal[/B] ... [2016-03-10 22:18:03,472] [Log ] [20 ] [INFO ] - Controller: Timeshifting failed, no more cards available. The log entries are fairly self explanatory. No signal for both tuners. Immediately afterwards you try to tune "kabel eins" and "ProSieben" which are broadcast from the same transponder. Same no signal result. After that you go to RTL (successful) and again try to go to "ProSieben". Same problem. Repeat again: RTL successful, followed by ProSieben fail with same problem. In the second set of log files it's almost identical. Happily watching RTL: [2016-04-26 22:48:17,121] [Log ] [26 ] [INFO ] - Controller: find free card for channel RTL Television ... [2016-04-26 22:48:17,933] [Log ] [26 ] [INFO ] - card: WaitForFile - video and audio are seen after 0,0055145 seconds Try to go to SAT.1: [2016-04-26 22:48:22,102] [Log ] [26 ] [INFO ] - Controller: find free card for channel SAT.1 ... [2016-04-26 22:48:22,235] [Log ] [26 ] [INFO ] - card: [B]Tune on card 5[/B] to subchannel SAT.1 ... [2016-04-26 22:48:25,441] [Log ] [26 ] [INFO ] - dvb: LockInOnSignal could not lock onto channel - [B]no signal or bad signal[/B] ... [2016-04-26 22:48:25,746] [Log ] [26 ] [INFO ] - Controller: Timeshifting failed, lets try next available card. ... [2016-04-26 22:48:25,752] [Log ] [26 ] [INFO ] - card: [B]Tune on card 6[/B] to subchannel SAT.1 ... [2016-04-26 22:48:28,952] [Log ] [26 ] [INFO ] - dvb: LockInOnSignal could not lock onto channel - [B]no signal or bad signal[/B] ... [2016-04-26 22:48:29,026] [Log ] [26 ] [INFO ] - Controller: Timeshifting failed, no more cards available. No signal again. I looked through all the older log files as well and it seem always to be the same - no signal. Even the idle DVB EPG grabber encounters the problem. No signal comes directly from the tuners. It's not a TV Server problem. You can even see this in the Windows system event log entries from the tuner driver: "26.04.2016 22:48:22";"DDTuner";"(0)";"Information";"Device 220:10000 Tune failure DVBS filter 1";"1074266233" ... "26.04.2016 22:48:26";"DDTuner";"(0)";"Information";"Device 220:10000 Tune failure DVBS filter 2";"1074266233" There's not much more I can say than that except to suggest you check your dish alignment, LNBs, cabling, switches/splitters etc... and if that doesn't help, go to DD for support.
