Hello Rob,
there is a plugin Femon available - much nicer output! You should check it out! Then you have clear text messages.
Problem here is, I don't have access to the regular VDR OSD.
I think it's worth using your ubuntu system to get to the vdr interface every now and then..
ok, I am now running vdr-sxfe and I have the OSD. Thanks for kicking me in my behind :-)
Under http://theinternet.dyndns.org/~pos/Bildschirmfoto-VDR.png
is a screenshot displaying the signal information.
I have switched a little bit around, and a couple of the ARD channels, like EinsExtra, EinsFestival and EinsPlus work fine, ZDFtheaterkanal, ZDFdokukanal and ZDFinfokanal do exhibit the problem, that BER and UNC contains numbers != 0, not large always maximum 2 (hex)digits, but none the less.
Assuming I have crossed some high and lowband connection between the multiswitch and the dish, am I right to assume, that I would get no picture at all?
