Questions MVP, DVB-S

[dbisqlg]

I tried your 0192.ini file. The scan did not crash the system. However it hung at one or the other transponder. Maybe I was not patient enough when running the scan; killed the task and started again. After several attempts the scan went through.
I'm a bit puzzled about the result though. Not all expected channels were found. First I thought that I just couldn't find it cause of the huge number of channels found. With a smaller ini file I started a new scan. It contained only the 16 transponder I really need. Some of them I tested manually, e.g. 12105 which should bring besides other the MDR or 12187 for RTL. Scanning with one transponder only shows the expected result. When scanning with all 16 transponders MDR for example is missing again.
I checked on the SES ASTRA webpage ( http://astra.de/consumer/de/Sender/sende...80704l.pdf ) if the numbers are correct.

Any ideas how this could happen?

Besides, what do all those numbers for a channes mean and how do I add them manually to the database?

Scanning with one transponder only shows the expected result. When scanning with all 16 transponders MDR for example is missing again.

sounds all familiar to me, too. i have this issue with all regional stations of ORF2 (located on transponder 73 or 74 can't remember)

how do I add them manually to the database?

sub will tell a better way, i found easiest to edit scan-1.cache file (located in gbpvr/bda) with the channel-info you need (as i posted RTL germany and austria above) or got from scan of a single transponder. save and you'll find this info in the list of "channels found during scan" under this small preview window, check the box "enabled", press ok and i'll be in your database

if you want you can try out enclosed cache-file of a complete channel scan i did this afternoon (without orf2 :o). perhaps you find some missing channels there..

Hi lenor,

your list is a great help. Even though it does not contail all programs, it has most of the ones I could not find in my scan. It's a good workaround for the scanning problem.

Some good news here also: I finally found the right mux to get my MVP running without any problems. Tried to record my first program last night after switching to DVB-S. It worked smoothly as before

[lenor]

good to hear :-)

so, which mux is it you are running now? (as i am not yet really satisfied with mine)

I can't log on to my machine right now; the vpn is not working for some unknown reason. :confused:
It is one of the ppMux ones I think it was the (5.0.2228). As soon as I'm at home tonight I will check and let you know if my assumption was wrong.
