    Hi,

    Partial success :)

    I added a few free-to-air channels I was able to tune in WinXP to
    channels.conf:

    Entertainment:12012:v:0:27500:2582:2581:8037
    SkyNews:12207:v:0:27500:514:645:4707
    WineTV:11555:h:1:27500:2372:2374:50435
    AvaTest:11555:h:1:27500:2329:2330:50446
    Vegas:11515:h:1:27500:3568:3567:8035
    Faith:11515:h:1:27500:2375:2376:50455


    The first two on LNB0, the rest on LNB1.

    For LNB0, I can tune via szap2:

    pavel@htpc:~/project/satelit2/szap-s2$ ./szap-s2 -r SkyNews
    reading channels from file '/home/pavel/.szap/channels.conf'
    zapping to 2 'SkyNews':
    delivery DVB-S, modulation QPSK
    sat 0, frequency 12207 MHz V, symbolrate 27500000, coderate auto,
    rolloff 0.35
    vpid 0x0202, apid 0x0285, sid 0x1263
    using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
    status 1f | signal 0136 | snr 002d | ber 00000000 | unc fffffffe |
    FE_HAS_LOCK
    status 1f | signal 0136 | snr 0031 | ber 00000000 | unc fffffffe |
    FE_HAS_LOCK

    and view the channels with

    mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

    For LNB1, it seems I can get signal via szap2:

    pavel@htpc:~/project/satelit2/szap-s2$ ./szap-s2 -r Faith
    reading channels from file '/home/pavel/.szap/channels.conf'
    zapping to 6 'Faith':
    delivery DVB-S, modulation QPSK
    sat 1, frequency 11515 MHz H, symbolrate 27500000, coderate auto,
    rolloff 0.35
    vpid 0x0947, apid 0x0948, sid 0xc517
    using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
    status 1f | signal 0178 | snr 0051 | ber 00000000 | unc fffffffe |
    FE_HAS_LOCK
    status 1f | signal 0178 | snr 0051 | ber 00000000 | unc fffffffe |
    FE_HAS_LOCK
    status 1f | signal 0178 | snr 0050 | ber 00000000 | unc fffffffe |
    FE_HAS_LOCK


    However, /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 outputs no data for any of the
    stations on the second LNB1.

As I said, check your diseqc configuration, the problem might be there.
There are some cards that do not allow AUTO settings for FEC, modulation and rolloff, maybe you have one of those cards.




    Perhaps it is correct and the channels I checked broadcast no stream
    at this time. Since scan2 keeps failing, please is there a place to
    download recent channels.conf for Astra 19.2E so that I can test on
    many more channels?

Check in dvb-s/Ku-Band directory.


Alex,

Thanks a lot for your patience. I am slowly starting to understand the whole thing.

 ./scan-s2 -5 -o zap -x 0 -s 0   dvb-s/Ku-band/S19.2E.ini > channels.conf

Works fine, finds many fta channels.

 ./scan-s2 -5 -o zap -x 0 -s 1   dvb-s/Ku-band/S23.5E.ini >> channels.conf

Even the second LNB works now, finds some ftas :)

Results of the scan give very often zero APID, VPID:

Sky Cust Ch:11934:v:0:27500:0:0:4505:5
Cartoon Network Game 4:12012:v:0:27500:0:2603:8005:5
Video Application Val:12012:v:0:27500:2518:2519:8015:5
Sky Bingo:12012:v:0:27500:0:0:8032:5
Sky Bet, Vegas & Sky Poker:12012:v:0:27500:0:0:8076:5

Please see the attached screenshot for results of the scanner under windows - APID/VPID are almost never zero. Do the missing values have any negative effects?

If I want to use e.g. kaffeine, should I just rename and install the new szap-s2/sca-s2 binaries systemwide?

Thanks a lot for your great help.

Pavel.
