Hi, I have a V1.3 FF card that I needed to remove from my VDR as it caused problems while trying to record from Film4. I'm currently testing the card in another PC. It can tune to and record from Hi + Lo and H+V channels. But when I tune to anothe channel on the same transponder I get:
Mar 11 17:46:36 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729 Mar 11 17:47:40 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729 Mar 11 17:48:44 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729 Mar 11 17:49:48 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729
Now the info for Film 4 in channels.conf is the following: Film4 +1;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2329+2309:2330=eng,2331=NAR:2332:0:8330:2:2042:0
Film4;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2311+2308:2312=eng,2313=NAR:2314:0:8335:2:2042:0
Plus some other on the same transponder:
E4+1;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2336+2305:2337=eng,2338=NAR:2339:960,961:8300:2:2042:0
E4;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2321+2306:2322=eng,2323=NAR:2324:960,961:8305:2:2042:0
More4 +1;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2345+2307:2346=eng,2347=NAR:2348:960,961:8310:2:2042:0
FF TEST1;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2311+2308:2312=eng:2314:0:8336:2:2042:0
Only FF Test seems to be FTA.
This is a pretty low frequency. Could that be the problem? In my VDR the replacemnt card, a budget Nova-S seems to be quite happily recording Film 4 so my Multiswitch and LNB seem to be OK.
What is strangle is that although Filem 4 is on 10729, the message says:
Mar 11 17:49:48 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729 <------- ???????
Does that mean anything? Still using VDR 1.3.24, but this was tested on 1.4.7.Hoping to go straight to 1.6 if possible.

Since there are satellites that have transponders on the same frequency on both H and V polarization, VDR precedes the frequency with a number indicating the polarization.

Klaus,
OK I assumed there was some reason for it.
