Channel 4 HD and sat ini

Upload a short 20MB sample to megaupload and I can check the format.

I would, but when I switch to VRML, I get a no signal msg, or signal / quality of zero. I think it is my alignment, as others have no problems getting this channel in W7 MC etc.

I think I need to go outside the thing and clout it with a broom handle.

;-) My fine tuning isn't very sophisticated.....learnt from operating a portable dish in France.....point in the right general direction a waggle until the strongest transponder springs into life. If signal weakens after a high wind, clout with a broom in the opposite direction to the wind the next day!!

Go easy with that broom, you might make things worse!

I have 2 x DVB-S2 connected to the same dish, one of them works flawlessly with C4-HD, the other can't see it at all (not even on a scan).

The working one is a PCTV 460e, the other is a Technotrend Budget S2-3200.

I can only assume that the signal level must be marginal for that channel and the PCTV is a tad more sensitive.

Is this with NPVR?

[DanielP]

In PVR2, C4HD is found in a scan, but doesn't play (I think the signal is too weak). In NPR, it does not find the channel, even if I modify the tuner ini with extra DVB-S2 parameters. Having said that, I haven't managed to get to reliable scan out of NPR for 13E / 19E as it doesn't seem to be able to cope with the DISEQC switch yet (I get a crash before completion), so I don't think scanning is quite there yet for my system.

FYI, in NPVR my HVR-4400 found this easily, but with my HVR-4000 I could only find it with

Code:

=12606,V,27500,3/4,69

I'll give that a go....thanks.

Thank you DanielP and JP23 - I can now get Channel 4 HD fine - it's 1920x1080. Using a Nova HD-S2 I used DanielP's tuning information, but it did not work until I used JP23's 69 instead of 165;
