Irish FTA Terrestrial

[Spud]

I installed a Peak DVB-T PCI card yesterday. It shows up in device manager as a "Philips SAA713X, Hybrid Capture Device". It works ok with DVBViewer V 3.9.2.0 and I can tune in the local FTA HiDef test station, some radio stations and encrypted TV stations also tune in ok.

 

My problem is that I can't tune in the four main FTA TV stations, these all reside at 738 MHz (CH 54) along with the national radio stations. I did a bit of research and downloaded TransEdit but I still can't find the missing stations with blind scan or just scanning the 738 MHz frequency. I might be doing something wrong of course, any sugestions would be appreciated.

 

I can read the following info from my STB for the main program RTE 1

Modulation: QAM 16

Guard Interval: 1/32

Transmit Mode: 8K

Video PID: 1101

Audio PID: 1201

Hierarchy Mode: 0

HP Code Rate: 3/4

LP Code Rate: 1/2

Have you already tried to shift the frequency a bit, let's say to 737.9, 737.8... 738.1, 738.2...?

Trials began again on August 4, 2006, with a high power multiplex ("Mux 1") transmitting on channel 54 (-167 kHz offset) from Three Rock Mountain.

According to Wikipedia the correct frequency is 737.833 MHz.

Were you able to decrypt the conax channels?
