[linux-dvb] DVB-S tuning problems

Hello @ll,

i am not able to tune in some transponders with VLC. I also posted this
question to the VLC mailinglist without a solution at the moment. This
problem regards following tuning situation...

vlc --color dvb: --dvb-frequency=11836000 --dvb-srate=27500000
--dvb-voltage=18 --dvb-fec 3 --dvb-satno 2
--> works :)

now changing to --dvb-frequency=12669000 --dvb-srate=22000000
--dvb-voltage=13 --dvb-fec 5 --dvb-satno 2
--> does not work :( via gui. I have to close vlc and have to start this
transponder via commandline.

I think i am not able to change to another transponder which has another
dvb-srate and/or dvb-fec. Also i am not able to change my LNBs with a
DiSEqC command via gui, only commandline is working.

But i had a look into the verbose output from vlc. The frequency, srate,
fec, voltage are the right one to tune in.

Could it also be a dvb driver problem?

I tried this...
vlc -vvv --color dvb: --dvb-frequency=10832000 --dvb-srate=22000000
--dvb-voltage=18 --dvb-fec 5 --dvb-satno 2 &> vlc,tuning,07.11.2005.txt

After opening the playlist and tuning to transponder...
#EXTINF:0,Viacom, MTV
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-frequency=11739000
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-srate=27500000
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-voltage=13
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-fec 3
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-satno 2

[00000001] main vlc debug: removing all interfaces

The first thing i thought was, that the signal is to weak. But under
Windows the signal is shown with over 90percent, also the signal to
noise ratio. There is no tuning problem.

Could someone give me a hint?

OS: Debian
Kernel: 2.6.14-1-k7
VLC: 0.8.4-svn20040920
DVB-S card: KNC ONE TV Station DVB-S (saa7146, stv0299)

Hardware is ok, i tested the system with the delivered software from KNC
under Windows.

Thank you for any help,
Alexander Abraham
