Multicast Network Channel search problem

[PhilW]

Hardware:-

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 4000 card

Windows Vista Home premiium

HP Pavillion, Intel Core 2 CPU, 6400@2.13GHz

NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS

2MB RAM.

 

Sharp KuLNBF BS1R5AQ112A

LO:11.3Ghz

12.25~12.75Ghz

950~1450Mhz

 

DVBViewer / Server V3.6.1.20

 

 

DVBViewer on the host machine works well and the channel search found all channels on Optus D1 160E. As an aside, and possibly unrelated, the frequecies posted by this search were quite different than my set-top box and published frequencies. eg published = 12456MHz, 22500 SRate Horz vs FOUND=10898, 22500 Horz etc. Is this something to do with offset.... (This took me ages to get sorted, very confusing)

 

On setting up the DVB Server, I get the scan frequency to drive the host server setting ( a bit clunky, seems to flick into Vertical at LOF SW, and there is no way to set this at the client end....), but NO channels/programs found.

 

On forcing the server DVB settings to 'Tune at the frequecies the previous channels were found on, I do NOT get any Pids / channels. Oddly enough, If I let the scan run from bottom to top of the search 9750-12728 in 1 MHz steps (boring) and allow it ot choose vertical it does find a few channels but these cannot be viewed.

 

What am I doing wrong? I see someone suggested copying the setting from the Host to the client, but what files are these?

Scanning via network does not work in the release version. It was not intended to work. simply copy the channels.dat from the server to the client.

 

You find the datafolder via DVBViewer main menu -> Help -> Info -> Versionsinfo simply click onto the blue text.

Thanks, working now. I didn't realise this was necessary despite reading the instructions!
