Hello,
Overall i am happy and pleased with the performance of my new TBS 6902 card but it has one major issue with DiseqC motor and i hope that someone can help me.
The issue is that the card will not properly switch from some channels on one satellite to some other channels to another satellite. The bug is not happening on all the channels but it does happen between specific channels and i am able to reproduce it all the time with no issues. The issue appears in both MediaPortal and ProgDVB
Here are the channel frequencies (keep in mind that these are some of the channel frequencies that are not working).
I got right now 3 satellites stored in my motor memory 13.0E, 16.0E, and 19.2E
Keep in mind that the dish is moving always correctly (i know it cause i am doing my testing while being next to the dish).
On 19.2E i got the frequency:
12480 V DVB-S
MPEG-2 27500
3/4
On 16.0E i got the frequencies:
12633 V DVB-S
MPEG-2 4883
1/2
and
11512 V DVB-S2
8PSK 29950
2/3
On 13.0E i got the frequency:
11034 V DVB-S
MPEG-2 27500
3/4
Any channel switch between 13.0E to/from 16.0E will work 100%
19.2E 12480 V DVB-S MPEG-2 27500 3/4 -------> 13.0E 11034 V DVB-S MPEG-2 27500 3/4 -NOT WORKING-
13.0E 11034 V DVB-S MPEG-2 27500 3/4 -------> 19.2E 12480 V DVB-S MPEG-2 27500 3/4 -WORKING-
19.2E 12480 V DVB-S MPEG-2 27500 3/4 -------> 16.0E 12633 V DVB-S MPEG-2 4883 1/2 -WORKING-
16.0E 12633 V DVB-S MPEG-2 4883 1/2 -------> 19.2E 12480 V DVB-S MPEG-2 27500 3/4 -WORKING-
19.2E 12480 V DVB-S MPEG-2 27500 3/4 -------> 16.0E 11512 V DVB-S2 8PSK 29950 2/3 -NOT WORKING-
16.0E 11512 V DVB-S2 8PSK 29950 2/3 -------> 19.2E 12480 V DVB-S MPEG-2 27500 3/4 -WORKING-
When the channel switch fails if i then switch to another transponder on the same satellite it will work, it is as if the card is unable to properly lock into the new frequency or it is locking to a wrong frequency.
There are more channels that are not working and then there are many channels that just work and on satellites that are many more degrees apart.
In MediaPortal i when the switch fails i am getting a No PMT Found error, in ProgDVB i am not getting any error, i just get a black screen with no sound and the signal indicator is showing good signal strengh and quality so i guess it is also unable to find any PMT.
The way i see it the card is either locking to a totally wrong frequency or is locking to the right one too early when there signal is too low to properly parse PMT data. In any case this prevents me from using the card and i just bought it 1 week ago.
I previously had a SkyStar HD2 and it was working with my motor with no issues.
I am using the latest ProgDVB and also using latest MediaPortal with or without the TBS patch (doesn't make any difference) + latest TBS drivers v1.0.0.3, i tried the previous version of drivers v1.0.0.2 and had the same results. I also tried both tuners that 6902 has and both got the same issue.
I will be glad to offer u TeamViewer access with the specific channel in a channel list for u to test.
I really would like the issue to be resolved as this is a show stopper for me.
Thanx in advance.
