Hello, everyone. I'm using SkyStar2.6d on Gentoo Linux-2.6.16.28. It works, but have some stability issues, if it can't be called so. Card frequently lose the lock then it's rainy. Then weather clears, lock is reacquired. Usually it's just a temporary inconvenience, but sometimes strange(imo) things happen. In that case femon, as usual, shows something around my usual signal level # femon using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' FE: ST STV0299 DVB-S (SAT) status 1f | signal bba4 | snr c243 | ber 000009b9 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal bbfb | snr c1e6 | ber 00000028 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal bb21 | snr c23a | ber 00000010 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal bb68 | snr c1da | ber 0000000f | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal bbdf | snr c216 | ber 0000001c | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal bba0 | snr c22e | ber 00000040 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK But no data is being received, and dvbtraffic can't find any pids, neither does dvbsnoop. I tried szapping to another transponders with no effect. The only option seems to manually bring down dvb0_0 interface, remove it, and reload kernel modules concerning dvb and bring up dvb0_0. After that all goes well again usually. The box is used for sharing satellite internet on lan so I'm really concerned about such a (mis)behavior. I would be happy with an advice.
Just want to say that I have noticed the same problem with several of those cards. What I also see is that sometimes one card stops receiving while the other continues working, although the LNB's are only 20 meters appart. I could not observe any pattern, in that one would fail more then the other.
