Not sure if I have a problem with the SX88 or not. Put the dish on for example 5west and all the multistream channels show 'NO SIGNAL'. With the 1.2CM the signal is of course 100%. Do a rescan and up they all pop again all added once more!. So they are there twice now.

Am I doing something wrong.???? Even if the dish isn't moved they still show No Signal when put on Standby....and need a rescan! Is it a fault? Or does it need a factory reset and the software re loading? Either way a pain!
Thank you in advance for any advice.
I'm having similar issues with it adding Ka transponders to the Ku list. Possibly with them adding Enigma2 support for the database something is corrupt...might be worth going back a few firmwares, if you still have the older versions that is.

They seem OK with running the latest sw. I have come in and out of standy a few times and the channels are fine, I even changed the standy modes from 'real' to 'fast' in the receiver and it made no difference.

if you do a search "auto" it scan all the transponders that are in memory and erase those that are empty.
Hi stephan. In practice, I cannot see the difference between 'Auto' and 'TP' scans. Here, 'Auto' doesn't seem to erase those TPs with no signal as you indicated. I'm running 1.04.32.

Hallo campag5242
It is possible that this is changed, in any case it is what happened with an old SW, I had personally tried after a remark in a Polish forum.
Maybe now this has been changed because some people thought that was a bug.
as I don't work this way, I have not tried since.

Did you use the editor (dreamboxedit or another)?
I noticed that the data sent by the editor to the SX88 bring errors (mixed C and KU band transponders for example)
after seeing these problems, I no longer use the editor, and for now I have no more error.

.

On a satellite with a multistream if you make a new search in the meantime without activating the multistreams, these are no longer visible and you have to search again with multistream so that they are visible again.
I have just done several tests with the receiver off, when I turn on the SX88 multistreams are clearly visible and I still have the signal.

Thanks Stephan. But when I don't search and just turn the receiver back on it shows NO SIGNAL. With the 1.2CM it is 100% on the non multisream channels.
Do I need to do a factory reset? Or is there a fault perhaps?
Thank you.

No, have not used the editor. As with you, C and Ku satellites are ok, it just seems to happen with the Ka birds.

Yes, a factory reset, it would be nice to try.
But in this case I will not repeat the old setting, and I do everything over again from the beginning.
Often an error can be found in the setting, and despite a factory reset, errors would be there again.
I don't understand what you have, I never had that.

Good luck

Stephan. If I use this latest updated SW. Does this include ALL previous SW updates?
If it does I will do a Factory Reset and use this latest SW. This may overcome the problems I have been having with Multistream.
Thank you.

Yes laser this obviously includes all previous updates.
But as I said, to avoid an error coming from the setting.
I would not use an existing setting, and I would start all over again.

Finger on the pulse? Does anyone here actually use that rubbish? I only see here talk of real sat rx needs: blind scan improvements, 422 streaming, webif requests, subtitles & such.

I agree, it's getting like most linux boxes, catering for the mass market and ignoring the bugs and requests of enthusiasts, that want a decent satellite receiver for feeds etc..
