Still nowt down for me on this one ..
Behaving exactly like the Startimes muxs @ 10east ..
Roughly 8 > 9db signal level on the F15 ..but refuses to lock ..
Also tried the TBScard ..
..dvbviewer ..doesn't even recognise a signal exists ..
Will try again later with crazyscan ...but I have my doubts ...

hi vipersan -

its weakened now here tonight and will not lock --
try in the morning up to midday - that,s when it was best with me

cheers
 
Thanks for the tip Nelson ..
,,Its just sooo frustrating ..that 8db would allow most signals to lock ...but we've seen this oddysey before on startimes

just out of curiosity I tried locking the higher startimes mux 3948R with the TBS card ..
No way will it comply ..
Here is a capture to show that I _can_ see it ok ...but as you can see yourself ...no sr or fec ....so no lock ..
that will remain a mystery ..but I think is is an 8psk/sr issue ..
Never had problems before they went to 8psk ..
Looking at the constellation ...you'd think it would lock no probs.
