Some of the 1025 cards have been very nasty. It resembles an older case where one card would not tune to either vertical (or was it Horizontal) completely stuck at one volytage level. To take a bite at it, load the dst module with verbose=5, module parameter. look at the logs, if you have timing errors you will see them in the log. > i have 5 other receivers and 2 dvb-s cards which have no problems with > the signal coming from the multiswitch to which they are all attached. > > any help or even ideas of what to do to diagnose the problem out there? just post the logs, will take in a look whether anything's possible. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
