There are currently no DVB-S2 transponders carrying any FTA services, although there is always the possibility that the existing FTA HD services which are on DVB-S transponders may move to DVB-S2 in the not- too-distant future, particularly when the terrestrial UK DVB-T2 services start before the end of the year, and Channel 4 and Five join the existing ITV and BBC HD services. Therefore the failure to tune DVB-S2 transponders has nothing to do with reception of Freesat. Enough background, what I see from the above is that the frequency of 11720 has a symbol rate of 29500 which I know is what is used by the BSkyB encrypted programmes. So your ability to tune isn't going to help you see any additional services, just as those in your original post are also scrambled Sky programmes. If it concerns you that you can't tune this DVB-S2 transponder, then you'll need the advice of others with DVB-S2 familiarity. > and the channels.conf was no better than before - it didn't include *one* BBC > channel, for example. The BBC channels, as well as most ITV, Channel 4, and similar ``interesting'' Freesat services, are on the Astra 2D satellite, as per your subject. This bird covers the frequencies from 10714250 h 22000 through 10935500 v 22000. Its footprint is a narrow beam focussed on the UK, and can only be received with some difficulty elsewhere that the remaining signals from the other Astra and Eurobird satellites deliver useable signals. That is, were you to be somewhere outside the UK, you might need to more accurately position your dish. But that shouldn't be your problem as per your original message. > Once I got it working, same: > Astra 2A/2B/2D/Eurobird 1 (28.2E) 10714 H DVB-S QPSK 22000 5/6 ONID:0 TID:0 > AGC:0% SNR:0% > Can't tune > Where do I go from here? I note that your first listed frequency is 11720, just above the transition from low to high band, in your first message. Do you get any results with success at any frequencies below 11700, and do your successes above 11700 include both horizontal and vertically polarised services? If you have a complete lack of any results with one particular polarisation/band combination, then suspect possibly your cabling, unless a regular FTA/Freesat/Sky receiver connected to the same is able to successfully find all services. You should be able to receive services from 11200 to 11700 in both bands with DVB-S, as well as above 11700, as the former are not on a particular spotbeam. Hope this info helps. Feel free to send me off-list your `scan' output (DVB-S) if you can't spot any patterns. thanks, barry bouwsma -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
