[linux-dvb] No channels on just some frequencies...

[Andrea Giuliano]

Hi,

I can szap many free channels from Hotbird 13E, but none on some 
frequencies. For example, if the "test" file just contains the line:

   S 11766000 V 27500000 2/3

that I took from http://www.lyngsat.com/hotbird.html as many other which 
instead work percectly, the command:

   scan test > channels.conf

alway gives the following output:

scanning prova
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 11766000 V 27500000 2
 >>> tune to: 11766:v:0:27500
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
 >>> tune to: 11766:v:0:27500 (tuning failed)
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
ERROR: initial tuning failed
dumping lists (0 services)
Done.

On the other hand, if I put manually some lines in channels.conf for 
such a frequency, I can zap to those channels, but in most cases I watch 
a different channel, not the one I expected to see.

This doesn't happen on other frequencies.

May be of some help the fact that I'm writing from Italy, and I cannot 
get channels from the scan for the most important italian channels: in 
particular, none of RAI network, nor Mediaset network, the biggest 
network in Italy.

Also, the signal became rather good after I bought an amplifier. 
Actually, I can see and record perfectly fine many channels. I don't 
think I have signal strength problems.

Any hint will be very much appreciated.

Best regards.
