G'day all,

I have just upgraded to R5.5 and I am now experiencing problems with DVB-S in the UK.

I get the following error...

Does this mean anything to anyone?

It does not happen all the time and it happens on different channels.
At the moment it seems random.

I suppose I should upgrade a bit further and see if the problem goes away.
I was using R5f27 and it had been rock solid for ages.

I have noticed my R6 not recording, lately on dvb-s. A little investigation and I found the BBC have shuffeled some of the PIDS BBC1 will crash my recorder so I binned it. I now use BBC1 HD I think its PID is 6941. I only got round to doing anything today, I have 2 dvb-t cards so record BBC1 on them. I would suggest you rescan your channels and hide the ones that don't work...

Trouble is, it is not consistent.
Sometimes it will record and sometimes it won't.
I have not worked out why yet.

So here is the latest one I just tried, that did not work...

There is no error in the backend log, but nothing was recored.

<edit 1>
No furhter change on this, it still happens, but I am about to change hardware and see if that helps, I needed to upgrade anyway so that I can play HD content. I will report on progress of the problem.

<edit 2>
No proven yet, but when I upgraded my hardware the other day I found that the coax was loose, in fact the f connector was broken, so that might have something to do with it :-)

It was not the connector, I am still getting the same issue.
I need to see if it is one source that is causing the problem.

It could be a card or the lnb it is connected to.

Hi Stinga,

Sounds like the card is on its way out to me.

I had a similar problem with a DVB-t card go bad a while ago. Mysteriously odd shows were not being recorded and it was intermittent. The card was reporting it worked - I couldn't see anything obvious in the logs, but I can't remember if there were any logs like yours. I'm no expert so I may have missed something. It was 5 or 6 years old. The WAF dropped significantly. Replaced that card and all good.

Incidentally I did a rescan for my channels the other day for both DVB-T and DVB-S. On the sat card ITV1-HD and BBC1-HD appeared too. I rarely record of ITV, but the additional BBC-HD channel is a bonus.

Chris

G'day all,

Well it might be solvde.
I did a re-scan...
and what a disaster that was!

mythtv scanneverything added about 600 channels, which I deleted.
It detected the frequency for 50% of what was left and generally made a bit of a mess.

Anyway I have spent two days fixinh the xmltvids and channel/mlplex mapping and it does seem to be a lot better.

Before I started I made copy of channel and dtv_multiplex and truncated the tables.
