Vdr diseqc problem or misconfiguration.[SOLVED]

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

    This is the diseqc.conf

    Code
    S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 A W15 t
    S13.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F1] W15 A W15 T
    S13.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W15 A W15 t
    S13.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] W15 A W15 T
    
    S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F4] W15 B W15 t
    S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F5] W15 B W15 T
    S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F6] W15 B W15 t
    S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F7] W15 B W15 T

    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

  • 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
    S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W30 [E0 10 38 F0] W30 A W30 t
    S13.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W30 [E0 10 38 F1] W30 A W30 T
    S13.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W30 [E0 10 38 F2] W30 A W30 t
    S13.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W30 [E0 10 38 F3] W30 A W30 T

  • 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.

  • This is my diseqc.conf actually

  • 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 :)

  • Using latest release of vdr this problem disappear, it happen sometimes but very rare.

    If someone has same problem, I use this diseqc

  • Maybe can interest other people. I notice in various pc using a wifi usb card and usb dvb-2 card make a lot of disturb. I have replaced now wifi with old ethernet and no more disturb/pixelation in vid. I have changed a lot of channels astra/hotbird with differen polarization no problem at all
