Hi, had to update my channel list for DVBViewer using TransEdit. Used a couple of transponder lists but both of them were missing a lot of sky HD channels, anyone got any ideas where they have gone? :(

cheers :)

I would like you to be rephrase the question or at least expand upon what you have posted so far as I am not sure what it is you are attempting to do, why you are doing it and what is missing from where?
 
OK I'll expand on what im on about.

I have a Technotrend budget S2-3200 with a CAM and T-Rex so I can put my Sky card into my pc and watch the encrypted channels.

Every so often I need to rescan the channel list using TransEdit and an .ini file, from say here _http://en.kingofsat.net/tv-28.2E.php

When I scan 11798.00 H where 6 Sky HD channels are, nothing shows up in TransEdit. (There are around 6 other frequencies that dont scan too)

All the other channels show up and I can watch them on my pc using my sky card, what I wanted to know is why those frequencies dont show up all the channels?

Hope that explains it!

cheers
 
As an example, can you scan in 12246V?

Make sure the parameterrs as I show here are set and added in TransEdit as a new channel, as possibly your .ini file isn't showing it as an S2 channel?

...and here's the scan of 11.798H (comes out on my scan as 11.797H, but that's just my tuner).

hhmm, I get the same results as you.
12246V definately dont work
 
Just a thought, have you ticked DVB S2 device in the DVBViewer hardware panel?

I'm using a Skystar HD2 with a Mantis driver, but if you are OK with non-HD channels, your card should pick up the HD stuff too.

Other than that, can't think what the problem is.

Yep, thats ticked. Out of all the HD channels there are it only picks up screen 1 hd, sports 1&2, luxe, bbc, mtv, real lives, eurosport, c4 & natgeo. All the rest, like the movie channels aint there...
 
I notice that the ones you can pick up are on the South footprint of Astra 2B and Eurobird 1. You should easily be able to get both South and North beams. Maybe your dish is badly misaligned?

The hd box picks up the channels with no probs though.. ?
 
Last gasp at a possibility - pci card tuner sensitivity poor compared to your digibox?

Do you get all the SD channels OK on all the Astra/Eurobird channels?

Just found the problem, I checked my cables and the one to the pc was causing the prob!

cheers for your help Llew :)
 
Oh well, the obvious isn't always the one that springs to mind readily :-rofl2

Glad you're up and running
