Hi @ all,

if got still some problems with my MP and TT S2-3200:

1.
After a fresh install of TVServer and MP on the same PC i got no problems to connect the TVServer and Database. After the first start of MP, every time i start my PC again, MP starts and i can start MyTV also, but if i look inside the channel list - all clear (Look Attachment) . So i have to end MP and start only MP again and all will be fine.

2.
If i switch to an scrambled channel, sometimes i will get the channel sometimes MP says "Unable to start Timeshift - Channel is scrambled". It makes no different in witch Type of CAM i use my Smartcard. I have to switch channels different times and different transponders to get these channels running. With my old TT Budget DVB-S 1500 and MP with TVEngine 0.2 there was no Problem, but there MP told me sometimes "No Signal" and 1 or 2 seconds later i got the channel. So, i think the Timeout setting of discrambling a channel are to short.

3.
Sometimes when i switch from a scrambled channel to another scrambled channel, TVServer write in Manual Control section "Scrambled - yes" with timeshift is still running, but of course only a black sreen will be seen. If i press Timeshift stop in MP then and start Timeshifting again, then i will get the "Unable to start Timeshift - Channel is scrambled" massage.

4.
I also cant use multiple descrambling channel with my TT S2-3200. No different witch CAM i use. If i watch a scrambled channel on one PC and switch on a client to a different scrambled channel (of course same transponder, frequence, ...), the first client will freeze the picture, the second on works fine. If i stop the second one, the first one will be fine again. (The multicam option of TVServer is of course set to more then one Channel, i test with different settings)

With same driver and different other Programms (like ProgDVB) i got no problem to desrambling channels.

With my cams inside my Twin - Tuner - Receiver i got no problem to record one scrambled channel and watch another scrambled one at the same time - so no problem with the cams.

5.
I got the same problems with MP about switching DVB-S to DVB-S2 and back and viewing HDTV Channels (no picture, sometimes sound) like other user wrote in different Treads.

I can confirm the scrambled channel issue (point 2)..
Sometimes I have to change channel 4-5 times before it will actually show the picture..This has only been an issue for the last month or so.. and was never an issue in 2.0..

I wonder if the tweaking of speed of channel change has caused this?????

Hi @ all,

First, problem 1 is still there ?!?

I´ve done some more test´s with my S2-3200 and the original TT-Media Software.

Watching scrambled channels never a problem, but sometimes it will take some seconds to descramble. In MP i will got "Unable to start Timeshift - Channel is scrambled" in shorter time.

Switching from DVB-S to DVB-S2 will work everytime quick. Switching back i have sometimes some seconds to wait ´till the channel will be clear.

Viewing HDTV also no problem (Even if i just use my onboard Graphic). I´m not very glad about the TT-Media Software, but i like the Info display about Transmittet size(4:3 / 16:9 / HDTV) and also Information display about Audio (Stereo / Dolby Digital / Subchannels)

So i think, the Driver could be better, but with the TT-Media Soft everything works nearly fine.

Whats to do to make the CI-Module work with TV-Server 3?
I have got a Technotrend 1500 DVB-S and a 3200 and both fail to decrypt... I tried various CAM-Moduls an also Installations on different PCs....

 

[Erbsenkopp]

Hi Marcuswien,

i do nothing special. I have only install the 4.4.10.18 BDA Driver from the TT Homepage, install all like the tutorial show, and - that´s it. No Problems with TT DVB-S 1500 or DVB-S2 3200 about cam and descrambling.

About my descrambling problems - they´re nearly fixt. I´ve updated the software of my cam´s, so most cam´s now without problems to descrambling channels. Including HD Channels.

regards,
Erbsenkopp

Do you use TVServer3? and is ac3 output working?

 

[Erbsenkopp]

Yes, i use TVServer3. At the moment i didn´t test AC3.

Got the same problem here (scrambling).. using daily the latest SVN''s for the TVSERVER, and still sometimes Channel Crambled.
Im using 2 x FireDTVS2 with a DiabloCam Wireless setup.

 

[Stone]

I have 2 x Technotrend 3200 installed. Both are working on FTA.
But when i use one card to descramble PayTV the sytems brings the error"Channel is scrambled" or "cant start graph".

The same installation works if i disable the scond card! Any help?

I can confirm the scrambled channel issue (point 1,3,4).
