Subject: Nova T-500 gets all but single multiplex
Hi,

I've browsed the past few months of the archive, but have not found
something related. If I am wrong, please slab me hard with a URL ;)

On Friday I installed said card in a friend's machine, installed mythtv
and everything looked fine (so far Ubuntu 7.04 without the latest hg
drivers patched into it). All channels were nicely available, but a
single multiplex was not available, no matter how hard we tried, e.g.
settings were set automatically or manually.

I'm currently running out of options on that one. Anyway I could try to
gather more info on this one?

"Offending channels":

On channel number 33 at 570MHz
http://ngs-germany.de/cms/DVBT/Programme/tabid/65/Default.aspx

Used parameters from channel.conf:

ZDF;ZDFmobil:570000:C23D12M16B8T8G8Y0:T:27500:545:546=deu,547=2ch;559=dd:551:0:514:8468:514:0

3sat;ZDFmobil:570000:C23D0M16B8T8G8Y0:T:27500:561:562=deu,563=2ch;575=dd:567:0:515:8468:514:0

...

We also tried different aerials, but that didn't change much. Also, the
multiplex was "on" all the time as we checked with a standard set-top box.

Just as an idea... Are you sure your antenna has the appropiate amplifiers for that frequency? I had a similar experience (the Nova-T 500 locking only on a reduced number of channels and a standalone receiver on all of them), and the problem solved when the building administrators added the amplifiers for all the frequencies that missed.

It turns that the signal amplifier in most standalone players is waaaay more powerful than the Nova-T one, so they are able to lock on the minimal signal capted directly by the antenna, but this is not the case for the card.

Cheers,
