Re: [linux-dvb] Nova-S-Plus scan ERROR: Initial Tuning Failed

[Timothy Parez]

I just tested the card on Windows Vista and it works. Altough I'm only getting a limited ammount of channels but had the same problem with my other card so that's probably not card related. (My TV decoder gets all channels)

Since your post, I try with feisty and gutsy, the nova-S PCI and it is the same, no problem. Maybe your card is broken or something with your PC. Can you give me dmesg ?

Hi,


The adapter is recognized so I installed dvb-utils.

Then I executed
scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E

The result was the same

WARNING >>> tuning failed!

problem?

When I use scan I get this

Done.


If I connect the cable to a decoder + tv I get all the channels and
perfect image.
I'm using a dual / twin LNB. Dual for Astra 19.2 E and 23.5 E with 2
connectors.

I did get it to work on my previous computer.


Any ideas?

Timothy.
