[linux-dvb] Pinnacle PCTV Sat/400i - Channels - parallel using

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I wanted to inform about the whole situation.


I have a PCTV Sat and a PCTV 400i.

First i had the Problem, that i was not able to LOCK channels. There were only 
a few where this was possible.

I applied edgars Patch and it worked, when only one of the cards was inserted 
to the host.

after i put in the second card only the PCTV Sat seemed to work.

Both cards work, if they are 'alone' in the host.

It does not matter in which PCI slot the cards are inserted. Always the Sat 
worked.

If the Sat cable is removed from the PCTV Sat, the 400i is no more able to 
LOCK on any channel:


----- 400i --------
szap -a 0 Astra-Mosaic
reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf'
zapping to 1 'ASTRA-Mosaic':
sat 0, frequency = 12551 MHz V, symbolrate 22000000, vpid = 0x00af, apid = 
0x00b0 sid = 0x0f94
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
status 04 | signal 8989 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 0000f8d0 |
status 03 | signal 8a8a | snr 2c29 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
status 00 | signal 8e8e | snr 27ee | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |

status 03 | signal 8e8e | snr 2c6e | ber 0000ffff | unc 00000000 |


After trying some Ports at the Multiswitch, where the cards are connected, i 
am able to recieve the channel ProSieben and some others.


             -------------------------------
  400i = | 1                                  | =
          = |       Multiswitch            | =  Sat
          = |                                     | =
          = |                                   8| =
             -------------------------------



When connecting this way:


             -------------------------------
  Sat   = | 1                                  | =
          = |       Multiswitch            | =  400i
          = |                                     | =
          = |                                   8| =
             -------------------------------


I get a LOCK when PCTV Sat is without Sat Cable:

szap -a 0 "ProSieben"

zapping to 28 'ProSieben':

With same cabling I get no LOCK with 400i, when Sat has cable.
With previous cabling i get lock on ProSieben, but no other channels.

Edgar recommended to disconnect the PCTV Sat. I tred this, but it does not 
help. His reciever won't get channels on 13 V (vertical) but I am only able 
to get channels with 13V. with cabling Sat = Port 6, 400i = Port 7
