Hello, after my vacation I no longer have any reception. 3x DVB-S Budget cards vdr (1.4.7/1.4.5) - The Video Disk Recorder xineliboutput (1.0.0rc2) - X11/xine-lib output plugin vompserver (0.2.6) - VDR on MVP plugin by Chris Tallon femon (1.1.1) - DVB Signal Information Monitor (OSD) streamdev-server (0.3.3-pre3-geni) - VDR Streaming Server The setup has been running for quite some time, after receiving a new dish and some new cables. Since then I have had a couple of month of very good reception. Now, after two weeks of vacation it is no longer functioning. Visiting the logs it seems the errors started around 20:03h, June 25th. /var/log/messages: Jun 25 20:03:22 vdr vdr: [11512] frontend 1 lost lock on channel 7, tp 112544 After that; I see very sporadic Jun 26 16:06:14 vdr vdr: [11512] frontend 1 regained lock on channel 7, tp 112544 femon reports vdr:~# femon -a 0 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' FE: Samsung S5H1420 DVB-S (SAT) status 00 | signal b6b6 | snr bfce | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal b5b5 | snr bfce | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | vdr:~# femon -a 1 using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' FE: Samsung S5H1420 DVB-S (SAT) status 00 | signal b0b0 | snr bfca | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal b0b0 | snr bfca | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | vdr:~# femon -a 2 using '/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0' FE: Samsung S5H1420 DVB-S (SAT) status 00 | signal b0b0 | snr bfc4 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal b0b0 | snr bfc4 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 2 of the three cards are connected to a multiswitch, the third one is directly connected to an LNB. szap ARD reports vdr:~# szap ARD reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf' zapping to 1 'ARD': sat 0, frequency = 11837 MHz H, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x0065, apid = 0x0066 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' status 00 | signal b5b5 | snr fffe | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal b6b6 | snr fffe | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal b5b5 | snr fffe | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | showing no lock.
