Turksat 4a not listed

[fatih]

I'm unable to find Turksat 4a on satellite listing. Best hit was Turksat 2a 3a. How can I add new satellite?

[fatih]

I've download up-to-date satellites ini file for Turksat 4a from http://satellites-xml.eu/ and replaced with "c:\users\public\NPVR\Tuning\DVB-S\0420 TURKSAT 2A 3A (42.0E).ini". But now I'm getting following exception;

Can you zip and attach the ini file you used? I'll check what's wrong with it. It looks like something wrong with the format.

Please find the 0420.ini file attached. Also I'm able to run a scan with Modified-0420.ini file by trimming extra columns; but most channels are missing.

Can you see if this patch helps? It should.

Stop the software, and replace the dll of the same name with the newer version attached.

it works, thanks!

the only problem it could not find all the channels :confused:

Was it a DVB-S2 channel, or DVB-S channel?

Some DVB-S2 devices will not tune S2 channels with out additional information in the tuning file (pilot and rolloff). Most modern DVB-S2 devices don't need this info, and will auto detect it. Order devices couldn't do this.

I'm using TBS6982 as my PVR. Missing channels are mostly DVB-S2; but have some DVB-S channels also.

Also note that I'm able to watch missing channels on DVBViewer. Is there any way to import channel settings to NPVR?

[sub]

I'd start by picking a DVB-S channel that is missing, and confirm that the frequency/polarity/symrate for that channel are definitely in the set of frequencies scanned by NextPVR. It could be case of simply not having a complete/correct list of frequencies in your ini file.

had some Unexpected error in timer_tick: System.IndexOutOfRangeException errors;

Please help

In this particular case, it looks like you've got a semi-colon instead of a comma. "10970,V,30000,56,S2;8PSK" instead of "10970,V,30000,56,S2,8PSK"
