SkyStar HD2 -no LiveTV at start

[acglj]

Hi,
I am not really sure if this is HW or SW problem. Starting from background.....
I am using Skystar HD2 DVB-S/S2 which is rebranded Twinhan AD-SP400. To use this card I had to modify bda.ini, because original section for SS HD2 is incorrect. Here are oryginal and new sections:
[TechniSat SkyStar HD2]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
ONLY_SCAN_ON_LOCK=1
RECEIVER_ONLY_MODE=1
FILTER_RECEIVER=DTV-DVB Mantis DVBS BDA Receiver
PIN_RECEIVER_IN=Input0
PIN_RECEIVER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[TechniSat Mantis BDA Receiver]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
ONLY_SCAN_ON_LOCK=1
SUPPORTS_BDA_DISEQC=4
RECEIVER_ONLY_MODE=1
FILTER_RECEIVER=TechniSat Mantis DVBS BDA Receiver
PIN_RECEIVER_IN=Input0
PIN_RECEIVER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
(after some experiments I hope that there is even a chance for Diseqc to work correctly as for Twinhan cards)

And now the problem: there is no liveview (just black screen) when I start the PVRX2, there is correct view when you change the channel. When you change the channel back to the start one, the view is also correct.
Similar efect when I start timeshift, and then change the channel -black screen, no audio, no OSD. All is correct after next channel change.
I didn't observe any negatives for scheduled records. So it seems like the card is able to tune the channel correctly.
I attached the log files for LiveTV and LiveTV/timeshift. When there is a black screen an error in log appers every second:
Unable to find brush node: /settings/NamedColors/NamedColor[@name="SignalStrengthGraph"]

Check that you have <BDASubmitTuningRequestTwiceOnLivePreview> set to 'true' in config.xml

Sub,
I don't have access to the PC with the card now (it is at my parents' place), but as I remember I changed all the BDASubmitTuningRequestTwice lines to true at the very begining of my experiments.
Thanks,
Jacek


Sub,
it's confirmed, I have all the 4 TuningRequestTwice lines set to true since very begining of my experiments. One more observation... Because it is on Vista32 I always used EVR, and last time I switched to VMR9 Custom. When nothing is received on the screen on start, VMR9 (in opposite to EVR) displays the status:
"No signal detected. Please ensure that the antenna cable is connected or that the antenna signal is strong enough. Quality 0 Strength 0". Of course when you change the channel up and down -all is correct.
