Hi all
I'm having some troubles with my two DVB-S2 "TechnoTrend TT-budget S2-3200" cards. At first I thought about driver issues but now I think the problem could lie within vdr.
Up until a couple of weeks ago I was running vdr 1.7.12 on debian lenny with stock kernel 2.6.26, and everything worked fine. Then my provider changed the SR of the DVB-S2 channels from 27500 to 29900. I could still watch regular channels, but HD channels where garbled. So I updated the kernel with debian backports (2.6.32). Nothing changed. Then I updated the dvb drivers (latest checkout I tried is the one from 25/02). With this update, DVB-S2 channels work perfectly, however, when I try to tune to SD channels in vdr I get " frontend 1/0 timed out while tuning to channel...." errors. I tried watching those channels with kaffeine, and it works fine. Also, If I tune to a SD channel with szap prior to starting vdr, I get a FE_HAS_LOCK. If I then start vdr on that channel, all the channels from that transponder are visible. But If I try to change channel to anything not HD i get the timeout error.
I tried all combination of drivers above with vdr 1.7.12 and vdr 1.7.16, the results are identical.
any pointers? I'm running out of ideas...
thanks davide
