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
"Nederland1"
reading channels from file 'Astra-19.2E.conf'
zapping to 1 'Nederland1':

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 and my wife yelled out of the living why her movie stopped playing (I was working on the mythbackend machine). So I will retry this tomorrow when my wife is not watching.

Hope this will help you.

Regards,

Michel

And again as promised I did a szap on all the missing channels and channels found in a fullscan.
the file with the results is at http://www.verbraak.org/test-vp1034.tar.gz because it is to big to attach.

This time the szapping without a lock up of the machine. Strange!!

Regards,

Michel.
