Re: [vdr] Can not view DVB-S2 channels

2008-05-12 Thread Vangelis Nonas
As far as Igor's confirmation on "channel not available"
I get this message only on DVB-S2 encrypted channels. I dont get it on 
encrypted DVB-S channels.

As far as Reinhard's suggestion for the Initial channel (to tune for a 
few minutes before the card actually tunes), I could not get a sustained 
lock. It locked after about 10 minutes, it gave me TS stream errors for 
a few seconds and then it lost lock. I have the feeling that the channel 
is not available at my location/dish installation.

Thank you
Vangelis

Hello,

AC3 was working fine for me with xine and my DD receiver BEFORE this
patch, I don't get AC3 with it now...

(I had to reformat that to make any sense of it. Some STUPID M$-BROKEN MAIL
SOFTWARE had mangled it, omitting all line feeds. DON'T USE HOTMAIL.)

(ugh, *more* misformatted text. As if that weren't enough, misquoting becomes
obvious once I add the necessary line feeds. And you've top-posted. And
duplicated it as HTML.)

You've not answered the question.

And if your reply is as badly mangled as this was, you won't get a useful
reply (at least from me).

Perhaps you should try with xine-lib 1.2?
