Das Erste:11836:hC34:S19.2E:27500:101:102=deu,103=2ch;106=dd:104:0:28106:1:1101:0 and MTV Germany:11973:vC34:S19.2E:27500:4031+8190:4032:4034:0:28673:1:1078:0 both work perfectly (i mean it. saw a 90 minute movie on ARD yesterday night). Sky News:11597:vC56:S19.2E:22000:305+131:306=eng:579:0:28707:1:1026:0 looses the lock every few milliseconds, resulting in typical mpeg-glitches appearing in the picture from time to time (that may also be because of the poor condition of my dish... even the ECCs got limits). sometimes mplayer even refuses to start giving me this: Checking for MPEG-TS... TRIED UP TO POSITION 0, FOUND 47, packet_size= 188, SEEMS A TS? 1 GOOD CC: 12, BAD CC: 20 Checking for LMLM4 Stream Format Invalid packet in LMLM4 stream: ch=18177 size=27537622 LMLM4 Stream Format not found i will try to borrow an analog receiver from somewhere to check the actual signal quality arriving from my dish, could be quite bad (i mean, it looks bad, wasn't readjusted for at least 10 years and it's rusty all over...) If it still doesn't work for you, lets compare the tons of debugging output in kern.log... -Daniel _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
