Hi,
has anyone a workaround for the unscanable Transponders (for example on
Astra 19.2E)?

DVB works but I can't access all Transponders (I think they have
analogue Channels). With Windows it works, so there is no SAT or Card
Issue.

I have posted a full scan Output in this Thread:

http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-December/014720.html

    
        
            
Can you verify whether manually adding in the frequency (the hard way,
by hand) to your channels.conf and doing a szap gives you a FE_LOCK for
the frequency that cannot be scanned ?

Trying to understand what's missing.

Manu,

I can confirm that when I enter a channel manually to my channels.conf
file I do get a FE_LOCK with szap.

    
        
for those channels which don't otherwise are not seen in a scan ?

  
      
Output from szap:
bash-3.1$ /data2/hg/dvb-apps/util/szap.old/szap -c Astra-19.2E.conf

Content of Astra-19.2E.conf (my channels.conf)
Nederland1:12515:h:0:22000:517:88:4011

Values for this channels were taken from
http://nl.kingofsat.net/pos-19.2E.php.

In the messages.log file I get the usual which ends with
Dec 29 15:30:40 garfield kernel: mb86a16_set_fe: NO  -- SIGNAL

I did a scan on multiple satellites with transponder lists from
http://kingofsat.net. I will put up the results in the next couple of days.

    
        
Cool.

Thanks,
Manu
  
      
As promised.
(Because the attachment was to big hereby a link to my test results for
now http://www.verbraak.org/scantest-vp1034.tar.gz)

Examination of 5 Satellites: Thor 0.8W, Hotbird 13.0E, Astra1 19.2E,
Astra3 23.5E and Astra2 28.2E
Files in the fullscan directory contain the scan results when the
corresponding transponder files are used. So these channels are found on
the different satellites on my system VP-1034 + Rotor (Palm sg 2100A) +
LNB (Smart TSX Titanium Edition NF 0.2dB)
Files in the allchannels directory contain all the channels which should
be available on the satellite according to http://nl.kingofsat.net
Files in the missing directory are the differences between fullscan and
allchannels.
The *.freq-polar-sr files contain the uniq
frequency:polarization:symbolrate values per satellite.

When I tried to szap for the missing channels I only saw FE_HAS_LOCK
until my machine locked up
    

machine locked up on a szap ? can you provide the logs when you szap 'ed
to this missing channel ?
Does this channel exist ? but even if it doesn't exist, i don't see any
reason why it should lock up.

Manu
  
Manu,

I resolved this problem by restarting the mantis and mb86a16 modules with the option verbose set to 0 (zero).
I wrote a small script which did the szap for each channel and it produced so many syslog writes, when verbose was 1, that my disk was very active. I think the lockup came because of this.

Currently I'm running my szap script on the different satellite for the missing channels. Will be finished in about one hour, put some sleep moments in there to be safe. I will post the result to this list when finished.

Regards,

Michel.
