I suffered from issues (see description below) in MP. That’s why I took for tests another application I used before MP. So I decided to make some tests using MP and DVBViewer Pro to understand the cause of troubles.. Step 1 – no signal on a transponder MP: - “all cards are busy” in the TV-console, “signal level 0, quality 0” in the tv-log, a) I watched only 1 channel on a non-working transponder and then switched to a transponder with a strong signal: - switching to any FTA channel with a strong signal – OK, switching to any scrambled channel with a strong signal – always “channel is scrambled”, - to solve the problem restarting TVServer is needed, b) I watched more than 1 channel on a non-working transponder and then switched to a transponder with a strong signal: - switching to any channel with a strong signal gave a message “all cards are busy” in the TV-console and “signal level 0, quality 0” in the tv-log (I saw that the driver was crashed by MP when I opened DVBViwer Pro), - to solve the problem restarting SS2 driver with a drivercontrol is needed. DVBViewer Pro: - black screen on a non-working transponder, - switching to a transponder with a strong signal gave no errors. Step 2 – signal jumping up and down MP: If I succeeded to tune such channel (signal was enough) picture was stable, but when the signal went down, picture freezed, watching the channel wasn’t possible any more even the signal was going up. If I did the trick only once, everything went like in step 1 (a) If I did the trick more than once, everything went like in step 1 (b). DVBViewer Pro: When the signal went down, picture freezed. When the signal went up, picture appeared again and I was able to watch the channel until the next freeze. Step 3 – weak signal on a transponder MP: - black screen (no picture), “signal level 22, quality 0” in the tv-log, no problem when switching to a transponder with a strong signal, DVBViewer Pro: - strange enough, but the same channel with a weak signal worked without problems (no freezing, etc.), picture was stable on other channels from the same transponder.
