Hi,
For me there has been trouble with tuning in multiple channels on the same transponder since the last couple of RCs. I think the problem started after RC1 but I am not sure, have no earlier logs.

Running Single Seat.
I have configured the Floppy DTV-T with CAM (default), and 100 as limit.
Have channels mapped to correct cards.
The FloppyDTV-T is the card with lowest priority so the Free-To-Air channels goes to the Pinnacel PCTC-card.

For the attached logs I did the following.
1. Cleared the logs.
2. Started MP.
3. Started TV, tuned to SVT1 on secondary card (Pinnacle PCTV).
4. Switched to "TV3" and started a recording.
5. Tried to switch to channel "Kanal5" with no success, "channel is encrypted"-message.

In the logs the following lines are where the timeout occurs:
2008-12-06 16:30:08.578125 [26]: card: WaitForTimeShiftFile - waiting _eventAudio & _eventVideo
2008-12-06 16:30:23.593750 [26]: card: WaitForTimeShiftFile - no audio was found after 15 seconds

If I stop the recording on TV3 I can switch to Kanal 5. Sometimes (1 out of 20) I can tune to another channel once but not more than that.

In the card configuration I can only choose "default" and "Astoncrypt 2", should it be so few CAMs and could this be an issue?

Does anyone else have this problem? I need all the help I can get, I would really like to have this fixed in the final version.

best regards
Marcus

Switched CA-Module from a "Dilog Viaaccess 99025" to an original "Viaccess CAM 904240 rev. 1.0" and after that it started to work again.

    Thx for feedback, i was testing this now & couldn't reproduce it - so good it wasn't something that had slipped in ;)

    Really would be nice to have a current cam\version\card thread, just so that someone investing in the hardware knows the current working of these cam's with their different revisions and known working cards.

    Maybe you'd like to think about that Roy, as your heavily involved in the satellite world :)

    Hi,
    Yup definitive something to think about, when speaking of that i would really like to see a "automatic select for best result in TV Server based on card, sat & user experience", but that would be me dreaming for now ;)

    Regards
    Roy
