List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-dvb-bounces@linuxtv.org Errors-To: linux-dvb-bounces+mchehab=infradead.org@linuxtv.org List-ID: 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.
