szap-s2 works, scan-s2 does not [SOLVED]

[Euge]

Hi,

I've successfully installed the drivers (Gentoo 2.6.35-r15).

After reading some of the other posts on this forum I've successfully got szap-s2 tuning:

Code: Select All Code

Can anyone point me in the correct direction? I believe the fact that szap is getting a lock implies the card is successfully tuning.

Look forward to hearing from anyone who can help!

Apparently you are trying to scan transponders from 19E.
10773H has been switched off Did you check your diseqc settings?

[Euge]

Hi, thanks for the response.

Do you mean the -r switch for scan-s2? e.g. ./scan-s2 ... -r 28.2E

On my system there's a list of settings for Astra 28.2E in /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E:

I see scan-s2 successfully moving the rotor - is this what you mean by adjusting the diseqc settings? Sorry to be a total newb, but I'm really confused as to what parameters I need to pass to scan-s2 to get it working. Is there a way for me to work out the diseqc settings? I'm basically hooked up to the Sky dish that was left on my house by the previous occupant so have no details of the setup (I'm in Norwich if that helps?).

hi Euge,

first of all by this:

Apparently you are trying to scan transponders from 19E.

Derrick meant that you're using "astra_scan-s2.conf" example from our driver package, which is for Astra 19.2E satellite and not for Astra 28.2E, which you're trying to lock. anyway, i believe the problem is very simple based on the information you provided:

1) you get lock with 'szap-s2' which means everything is setup correctly:

Code: Select All Code

sat 0, frequency 10773 MHz H, symbolrate 22000000, coderate 5/6, rolloff 0.35
vpid 0x1388, apid 0x1389, sid 0x138b
using '/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter2/demux0'
status 1f | signal  74% | snr  87% | ber 0 | unc 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal  74% | snr  97% | ber 0 | unc 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal  74% | snr  98% | ber 0 | unc 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK

2) 'scan-s2' doesn't work, because it seems to me you configuration file is not correct:

Code: Select All Code

mediacentre scan-s2 # ./scan-s2 -a 2 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E -r 28.2E
API major 5, minor 1

initial transponder DVB-S  11740000 V 27500000 2/3 AUTO AUTO


because modulation can't be AUTO. please, after unsuccessful 'scan-s2' attempt check with 'dmesg | grep tbs6981fe" - i guess just error that modulation is unsupported will be reported. if so, please, consult "README" file from the Linux driver package to see proper 'scan-s2' configuration file settings.

regards,
cody

Hi cody,

Thanks for the response. I've adjusted the configuration file as suggested in the README:

Any idea where I go from here?

ok, let's try the simplest thing that comes to mind, according to your logs you can lock the following with 'szap-s2':

Code: Select All Code

mediacentre szap-s2 # ./szap-s2 -a 2 -H -c ../bbc1london.conf -S 0 "BBC 1 London;BSkyB"
reading channels from file '../bbc1london.conf'
zapping to 1 'BBC 1 London;BSkyB':
delivery DVB-S, modulation QPSK
sat 0, frequency 10773 MHz H, symbolrate 22000000, coderate 5/6, rolloff 0.35
vpid 0x1388, apid 0x1389, sid 0x138b
using '/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter2/demux0'
status 1f | signal  74% | snr  87% | ber 0 | unc 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK

and 'scan-s2' configuration line for the above should look like:

Code: Select All Code

S1 11773000 H 22000000 5/6 35 QPSK

so, if you put the above line in let's say file called "test_scan-s2.conf" and run:

# scan-s2 test_scan-s2.conf

what did happen?

Hi cody,

Doing as you suggested gives:

This is all I'm able to get from the card - I tried rebooting again and got the same behaviour - it scans once and thereafter will not scan - is this a fault with the card or the scan-s2 software?

Thanks for your help so far - I'm hoping you're able to shed light on what's happening.

Hi cody,

A thought occurred last night - could the behaviour I'm seeing be a result of not enough power being supplied to the LNB via the card over the satellite cable? Do I need to connect up some of the additional power connectors available on the card to my PSU? Or am I completely off track with this suggestion? It's really confusing that the scan works immediately after a reboot but fails thereafter.

Regards,

Euge

hi Euge,

sorry that i wasn't able to reply earlier, but we're going to CeBIT 2011 and i'm busy preparing for it. anyway, if 'szap-s2' works any time, but 'scan-s2' only some times then it could be indeed some hardware fault with data transfer on the board. i can suggest few things just to confirm it for sure before proceed with replacing your board with new one - is it possible for you to test the board in Windows - just to completely rule out some software issue in Linux? if not, is it possible to give me remote access to your Linux system - just to test it myself (you can send me the details via PM).

thanks,
cody

hi cody,

I'll have a dig around in my garage - I think there's an old windows PC of my Dad's in there somewhere though I don't know if it's got a PCI-E 1.0 slot - if it has then I'll see if I can get around to testing the card in it this weekend (I'm at a PHP conference in London later this week so time is a bit tight for me too at the moment).

Regards,

Euge
