Vdr diseqc problem or misconfiguration.

  • I have a dual-feed dish with a lnb digiquest


    This is the diseqc.conf

    Now the problem: if I switch from hotbird channel to another hotbird

    the video become disturbed.

    If I switch to astra channel and then hotbird the video return stable

    See this video for example (ignore https error message, is because cert

    ificate is self-signed, it won't hurt).


    Some info:


    VDR version: 2.6.4

    Distribution: Debian raspberry server, slackware 15.0 client

  • Hello,


    please give output of journalctl wenn switching. Working and not working channel switch


    best

    Thanks. Here is it

    I see a lot of error like

    and nothing else.

    Code
    ERROR: skipped 188 bytes to sync on TS packet on device 1


    searching on net I read can be grounding problem and bad h/v switch signal

  • Hi,


    You can omit unneeded commands, and repeat needed commands. You can also increase waiting times.

    For my system (external multiswitch),

    Quote

    S13E 11700 V 9750 t v [E0 10 38 F4]

    S13E 99999 V 10600 t v [E0 10 38 F5]

    S13E 11700 H 9750 t V [E0 10 38 F6]

    S13E 99999 H 10600 t V [E0 10 38 F7]

    works fine. But this does not mean that it also works for you ...

    I always have t (tone off) because my multiswitch does not need the tone.

  • Increasing waiting times seems to give me a decent result only on some

    channels, i try to switch various channels and..the problem return.

    I have switched from W15 to W30


    This is my diseqc.conf now

    Code

  • I still have this problem, I notice the problem (video disturbing)

    happen when the channel switch from polarization V to polarization H

    or vice-versa.


    Suppose this situation


    TURN ON VDR OK


    Go to channel 1(v)

    Go to channel 2(v)


    NO DISTURB


    Go to channel 1(v)

    Go to channel 2(v)

    Go to channel 3 (h)


    DISTURB :(


    I have a dual feed and the "skew angle" is correct

    Any advice for solve this problem?


    Actually I use this "workaround"


    Go to channel Astra with polarization H


    and return to Hotbird with polarization H (or V)..

    and work.


    I also see in the disturb

    the signal become less strenght.

    Sorry for my bad english.

  • Other info


    this is my "resolver channel" with H polarization on Astra


    RTL Television;RTL Deutschland:12187:HC34M2S0:S19.2E:27500:163=2:104=deu@3;106=deu@106:105;110=deu:0:12003:1:1089:0


    To see a channel i have to do this..


    channel1 -> channel2 (disturb)-> RTL (fix) -> channel2 (no more disturb) very annoying :)
