Running vdr 1.7.41

I have previously seen this issue on earlier development snapshots, but had simply ignored it as I was running development code. However, as we near 2.0, I thought I might query it on the mailing list.

In my syslog I occasionally see an error related to my DVB-S frontend attempting to tune to an unusually high frequency:

Mar 18 16:51:43 ion vdr: [11405] ERROR: frontend 2/0: Invalid argument Mar 18 16:51:43 ion kernel: [153047.448733] DVB: adapter 2 frontend 0 frequency 89399000 out of range (950000..2150000)

There's no obviously bad entry in my channels.conf that would cause this:

$ awk -F: '/S28.2E/{print $2}' /etc/vdr/channels.conf | sort -n | uniq | tr '\n' ', ' 10714,10729,10743,10758,10773,10788,10802,10817,10832,10847,10861,10876,10891,10906,10920,10935,10964,10993,11023,11052,11126,11222,11223,11259,11261,11307,11343,11344,11390,11426,11469,11488,11507,11526,11546,11565,11584,11603,11623,11661,11680,11719,11739,11758,11778,11797,11817,11836,11856,11875,11895,11914,11934,11973,11992,12012,12031,12051,12090,12109,12148,12168,12187,12207,12226,12246,12265,12285,12304,12324,12343,12363,12382,12460,12480,12523,12559,12560,12606,12643

So I presume it is happening during a 'search for transponders' or an epg update scan?

Maybe faulty data in the NIT?

You could start debugging this by adding some printouts to cNitFilter::Process(), around line 133, where the transponder frequency is decoded.

I do have an LNB pointed at S28.2E, too, and my channels.conf contains these transponders:

10714,10729,10743,10758,10773,10788,10802,10817,10832,10847,10861,10876,10891,10906,10920,10935,11222,11223,11259,11261,11307,11343,11344,11390,11426,11469,11488,11507,11526,11546,11565,11584,11603,11604,11623,11681,11719,11739,11758,11778,11797,11817,11836,11856,11875,11895,11914,11934,11973,11992,12012,12031,12051,12070,12090,12109,12148,12168,12187,12207,12226,12246,12265,12285,12304,12324,12343,12363,12382,12460,12480,12523,12559,12560,12606,12643

I never had the error message you've posted, though.

What kind of DVB adapters are you using?
