Hi,

today I've replaced my system drive (PATA) by a SATA one to send the
PATA drive in for repair.
And now, VDR reports a lot of TS discontinuities and it's c*Repackers
complain about bad packets. Before exchanging the drive, I've only had
such errors immediately after switching to a new transponder.
So it looks like the drive interferes in any way with DVB-S reception
(NOVA-S). Is there anything I could check to solve this issue?
It might be your chipset. You could also try updating your bios.
I already had a talk to an Fujitsu-Siemens developer some weeks ago
because of a show stopper on HT CPUs in ACPI's processor module: there
will be no new BIOS for this board (D1562-A21).
I have had lots of problems with using IDE devices
like my DVD drives, and USB, after installing a SATA hard drive. Fortunately,
I haven't had any problem with DVB on this motherboard. I changed
motherboards because of the problem. (When I changed the mobo, in Linux
(Kubuntu) I only had to set the volume and change the device ID around of the
two DVB cards - imagine changing your motherboard with Windows.)
It looks like the first S-ATA motherboards had pretty sketchy support for
S-ATA.
Well, I didn't have such issues in the past, and I hope that I'll get a
PATA substitute ;-)
Bye.
