UK DVB-S scan problems

[DanielP]

Thanks for the patch....

Scanning is good, but as above, minus BBC, ITV and STV HD etc for 28E and any of the S2 stuff for 19E. I'm not sure that DISEQC is working for me, but I need to double check.

However, I now get an immediate CTD if I dare to actually watch TV lol.

I'll post all the logs tomorrow, unless someone else doesn't get there first.

PS... this is with the second to latest patch btw

Whatever you did in that patch causes it to instantly BSOD with the skystar2....!

It definitely wont be to do with that patch. It just added an additional logging message. Other than that its the same as you had previously. I'm guessing it was some one-off triggering of some driver bug in the skystar2, for some reason unrelated to that patch.

What is a CTD?

Here's the NVRlog from the scan before the BSOD patch (the scan that missed the H264 channels).

It certainly looks like it found 'BBC HD':

I suspect this patch will make the H.264 channels show up.

Crash to desktop ;-)

I have escaped from work tomorrow, so will have a proper play if I can get my daughter to go for a long afternoon nap!!

Ok, post the crash.mdmp and I'll take a look.

Thanks for all the quick responses on this. I'm at work so will have a play later. I also got an unhandled exception crash with the penultimate patch when I went to actually watch any channels, so it sounds like the same issue DanielP has. Regarding the BSOD, I tried twice with the skystar and both times the moment the scan started it did a BSOD, but the previous patch did not... I'll try changing back to the previous patch later to see for sure if the patch is causing (even indirectly) this BSOD. Will also try the newest patch to see if the HD channels show up.

Make sure you post your crash.mdmp and I'll take a look.

BSOD crashes are definitely crashes in the drivers for your device. I cant think of anything I could do differently to stop it happening. Its also not happening with other devices.

I confirm that it now finds the HD channels and that the HVR-4000 at least scans fine. I've not tried the skystar2 as I just copied the scan from the HVR. Cant watch anything though - it bails out without creating a crash dump file, just the usual windows moaning that it's died. Logs attached. Perhaps no longer relevant to the thread subject though?
