Just purchased... Having trouble with PMT/SDT tables...

I've just purchased DVBViewer since it seems like a really excellent product but I'm having a problem.

 

I'm using a Genpix Skywalker-2 card and a Dish 1000.4 LNBF (uses DiSEqC switching) connected to 77.0W, 72.7W, and 61.5W. These use the Ku-Hi Bandstacked (DBS) band which I believe is 11250 - 14350.

 

Inside of Transedit (3.6.4.0) I'm using:

LOF1: 11250

LOF2: 11250 (but I've tried 14350)

LOF SW: 0

 

Certain transponders give me a red [PMT] table and all of them give a yellow [sDT] and then eventually a red. I've adjusted all timeouts to 20 seconds but I still have the same problem.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

EDIT: I've tried adding SDTO=1 inside my transponder .ini (according to one of the posts here) but that doesn't help. Also, DVB Dream scans everything perfectly so I know it's know a hardware/setup issue.

OK - It looks like I was using the wrong LOF and LOFSW values. I'm now using 11250/14350/20000 (low/high/sw) and it can now tune properly to everything.

 

However, it appears as though the D*N SDT table takes around 35 seconds to appear and TransEdit only allows a maximum of 32 seconds. Can this be adjusted? ...or can I scan all transponders and will it fill in the blanks for previous channels using any SDT tables found?

Really? :blink: That's half an eternity... please check the SDT (and how long it takes to arrive) with the TransEdit Analyzer.

Unfortunately the (Windows) updown buttons associated with the edit controls are restricted to a SmallInt range (-32768..32767).

Yeah, I've used the analyzer and when I watch the PIDs for the SDT tables, my satellite takes a long time.

 

For example, I'm tuning 72.5W (Original Network ID: 4101 [for example]).

 

The SDT table first shows names for NID 4102, then 4105, then 4104, etc. Eventually my satellite (72.5W) is displayed and the PAT table displays the names but it takes a very long time.

 

Can I scan all of my channels and then have DVBViewer scan the SDT tables later and fill everything in?

In Europe these satellites are behind the horizon. You could tune to a typical transponder, wait until all tables show up, then: -> analyze -> right click on transponder -> save as xml. But please uncheck -> settings -> analyzer -> read EIT first (too much data). If you attach this file, we will have a look.
