AVerMedia A700 optus D1 channel mapping problems

[mkcortina]

Hi

I am have problems mapping channels it cant find any channels on optus D1 (ie freeview channels).


I have a AVermedia A700 DVB-S.
I orginal had this card in another PC i built for a media centre and everything worked fine on Optus B1 before the switch to D1.
I stopped using it for a couple of months.
Untill i bought a New PC for my media centre. Durring this time everything was switched to D1.

Using the AVerTV software i am able to get all the channels from Optus D1.

Using GBPVR I am able to get channels on Optus B3, but not on B1,D1.

i have checked all the settings and everything seems right


[SATTYPE]
1=1602
2=Optus D1 (NZ FTA)
[DVB]
0=2
1=12483,H,22500,34
2=12456,H,22500,34

The LNB is a SKY dual LNB.
LNB = 10750


I have tried everything to me it seems there is a issue between the Avermedia A700 and Optus D1.

There is another post on here where the person seems to be having the same problem.

I really like the features on GBPVR so i would like to get it working.
I dont want to use the AVerTV.

If anyone has any ideas it would I would be very greatful.

The dual Sky LNB contains a 22Khz diseqc switch. Unfortunately diseqc switching is not covered by the BDA spec, so each manufacturer does it differently.

Diseqc switching is only available in GB-PVR with Twinhan and Hauppauge devices. The has been extended to TechnoTrend devices aswell in the next release (though not tested yet).

Unfortunately I dont no anyone at AverMedia, so I dont have the information that would be required to implement diseqc switching for this device.

thanks for the reply

So if i get another dish with a single LNB it should work?

I was going to get another dish anyway beacause of the whole sky on Vertical and freeview on Horizontal.

Yeah, that'd do it.

Let me know how you get on with this.
I couldn't get the Sky dual LNB to work with this card, and tried another LNB (courtesey of Sub) which I couldn't get to work, so I am guessing it may have something to do with the card.

Can you also let me know what the LNB settings you used in the AverTV app, as I couldn't get that set up correctly.

Thanks

I managed to get it going.

i firstly put up a new hills 80cm dish with a sharp 11300 LNB.

after a couple of hours in darkness i managed to align it.

I got it working in VerTV first.

When i tried it in GBpvr it still wouldnt find D1.

i then changed 1602 to

[SATTYPE]
1=1602
2=Optus D1 (NZ FTA)
[DVB]
0=2
1=12483,V,22500,34
2=12456,V,22500,34

and it worked.

now is it better to rotate the LNB 90 deg and change it back to H or should i just leave it as is?

To get AVerTV working using the dual LNB this was the settings


switch type 13V/18V

satellite settings
-long 160 E

LNB settings
input range 10700-12700

LOF

low LOF 10750
switch 10750
high 10750
freq switch ticked
pol dual

then go to progams

ADVANCE

select Range Scan

frequency 12400 - 12700
symbol 22500-45000

then press SCAN

it will take about 30min -1hr

I hope this helps!!

Yeah, sounds like you've got the skew wrong on the LNB. In NZ, looking front on to the dish, the LNB is generally twisted to about 8 O'Clock.
