sudden Astra 19.2° channels where gone and can't rescan them !

[SatWaveDude]

This is very very strange !

 

I did a clean install of DVBViewer.

Than I open channel list editor which was completly empty.

I proceeded a scan for each satellite DVB-13, 19.2, 23.5 and 28.2.

After all the scans that created four channel lists as expected.

 

All was working well till sudden channels on 19.2 refused to open.

After a DVBViewer restart almost all 19.2 channels where gone ecept 12 channels (Picture-1).

 

 

 

I did a new scan on 19.2 but no channels where added and only found 12 new. (Picture-2)

 

 

 

I deleted the whole 19.2 channel list and did a clean scan from scratch. (picture-3)

 

 

 

As you can see no channels no updated channels where found.

 

What is going on, what do I mis or what I have misdone ?

 

I attach the support.zip

 

This is driving me nuts please help.

The channels on the second screenshot are from Astra 28.2°E, so obviously switching to Astra 19.2° E (DiSEqC) did not work.

 

Provided your DiSEqC settings are correct, you can try if setting

 

    <entry name="DiSEqCCount">1</entry>

 

in your hardware.xml (see configuration folder, DVBViewer must be closed) to 2 or 3 helps. It lets DVBViewer send the DiSEqC command 2 or 3 times.

No success by changing diseqc repeating command.

 

How can I remove DVBViewer entirely so there are no leftovers ?

 

It must be something small because it had worked in the past.

 

Or it could be a hardware error but for that I need to test another dvb software to verify that.

Just uninstall and let the uninstaller delete all settings.

It could also be an outdoor equipment failure. Which kind of switch / dish are you using for receiving 4 satellite positions?

 

[SatWaveDude]

I use a 4 port Diseqc switch with a WaveFrontier T90 dish:

 

 

 

This is the dish but I use only 4 LNB's on 13, 19.2, 23.5 ,28.2° with dual output:

Finaly I figured out the problem.

 

It was a defective Diseqc switch, I replaced it with another one just for testing and BAM Astra 19.2° was working :-)

 

I was playing around with the settings turns out these are the one for me:

Pos A / Opt A = DiSEqC port 1 or A = Astra 28.2°
Pos B / Opt A = DiSEqC port 2 or B = Astra 23.5°
Pos A / Opt B = DiSEqC port 3 or C = Astra 19.2°
Pos B / Opt B = DiSEqC port 4 or D = Hotbird 13°
