Sweden - not all Muxes identified on scan - Hauppauge HVR-1300

[Don Tom]

I do believe that this is a problem outside of PVRX2 - but I am running out of ideas.....

Since some time back the picture quality on channels on one specifix mux has gradually gone from bad (stuttering, glitches) to a more binay - zero. As wife complaints has increased during the above quality degradation I really need to do something.

My setup is basically:

• OS = WinXP SP3
  
• DriverVer=08/04/2009 - 2.124.27191.1 (same problem with other drivers = 2.119.25023 etc)
  
• Card = Hauppauge HVR-1300
  

So current situation is that I have no picture on mux 1 (546Mhz) - in sweden. I also tested ScanChannelsBDA_UK.exe and it also reports "nothing found" on this frequency. A condensed extract from the scan log would be:

Teracom_Mux_2: Frequency=522000kHz Strength=1600 Quality=87%
Teracom_Mux_4: Frequency=626000kHz Strength=-24700 Quality=97%
Teracom_Mux_3: Frequency=674000kHz Strength=-27000 Quality=100%
Teracom_Mux_5: Frequency=778000kHz Strength=-41000 Quality=70%

On the two TV sets all channels on all muxes display OK, though there is sporadic stuttering and glitches on some channels at one set - but not to a disturbing degree.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

It sounds like you're not delivering a good enough signal to the capture device, so you'd probably need to look at removing any signal splitters, or getting a better antenna, or tweaking its orientation, or maybe adding an amplifier.

Thanks. Seems like I'll have to spend another night in the attic; not an ideal place to be in sweden this time of the year....

Seemingly my 90 degree adrenalin adjustment of the aerial did the trick!

Frequency=522000kHz Strength=-39000 Quality=100%
Frequency=546000kHz Strength=-41000 Quality=100%
Frequency=570000kHz Strength=-40400 Quality=100%
Frequency=626000kHz Strength=-37000 Quality=100%
Frequency=674000kHz Strength=-41000 Quality=100%
Frequency=778000kHz Strength=-41000 Quality=99%

Thanks!

Great!
