[vdr] Problem with Frontend tuning

[Frank Enderle]

hi,

i have a vdr system with the following layout:

- asus p5b-e board (3 pci slots)
- reel hd-e
- 2 tt s2-3200 (dvb-s2) / astra 19.2
- cam module alphacrypt classic 3.14
- vdr 1.7.0 with extension patch 59 and h.264 patch
- multiproto driver of today (46df93f7bcee tip) 

and i have the following issue:

- i cannot tune to transponder 11953 (ZDF) on frontend 1, but works on
frontend 2
- i (often) cannot tune to transponder 11836 (ARD) on frontend 1, but works
on frontend 2

channels.conf lines:
Das
Erste;ARD:11836:hC34M2O0S0:S19.2E:27500:101:102=deu,103=2ch;106=dd:104:0:28106:1:1101:0
ZDF;ZDFvision:11953:hC34M2O0S0:S19.2E:27500:110:120=deu,121=2ch;125=dd:130:0:28006:1:1079:0

what i already did:

- the problem occured a while ago after updating vdr to 1.5.13 or 1.5.14
(don't know this exactly) and updating multiproto to version 7208
- i updated the following components to the current available versions:
  - mainboard bios to 1802
  - vdr to 1.7.0, including all plugins i use
  - multiproto to 46df93f7bcee
  - alphacrypt to 3.14
  - still didn't work
- i switched the antenna cables - problem persists
- i switched the pci slots of the cards - problem persists
- i tested every card alone with both antenna connections - each card
worked fine
- i disconnected the ci - after that both cards worked seemless
- i removed the smartcard - problem persists
- i removed the cam - problem persists
- i tested using one card and connected the ci to this card, removed the
second card - problem persists
- i did the same the with the other card - worked
- i added the second card to the system - problem persists

results:

- the problem only occurs on the two transponders
- the two budget cards work fine - no hardware problem
- the antenna cables work fine
- has nothing to do with the pci slot i use since i swapped them around
- the problem seems to occur in conjunction with the ci interface with or
without cam

so my question is: is there a known issue with the tt-s2-3200 and a ci
interface which prevents the tuner to tune to specific transponders? any
ideas out there?

suggestions would be very appreciated.

frank.

 Hi Klaus,
 
 is there a chance to have this patch
 
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.vdr/32212
 
 in 1.6.0? Several plugins already support this patch and most VDR
 distributions have this too, imho. Would be great to have it in core VDR.
 
 BR,

Re: [vdr] alphacrypt cam upgrade to version 3.12

[Frank Enderle]

hi simon,

i think you need the following file.

http://devel.mascom.de:8080/cms1/fileadmin/user_upload/Dateien/Bedienungsanleitungen/AlphaCryptUpdate3_12_Classic.zip

unfortunately the whole thing is written in german. i hope this is correct:

1. install the correct driver for your os. the system must not show an 
exclamation mark in the device manager(?) which lists all devices - i
don't know how its called in english

2. exec the update program 

3. select 'Gerätetreiber benutzen' if you're running 2000/xp, deselect for 
95/98/SE

4. insert card into the pcmcia slot

5. klick start update - takes about 1-2 mintues and shows ready when it is 
finished.

this is in short what's written in the _hilfe.txt file. i never did the update 
myself this way, so i cannot tell you if it is working this way. they also 
write that they made the update that way that normally the module will not be 
harmed, only if something goes wrong in the little time window of 1 sec when 
the complete software on the module is overwritten.

i hope this helps.

regards,

frank

 Hi

 Can anyone tell me how to upgrade my alphacrypt CAM to version 3.12 (New
 Zealand)?  One of mine is running 3.09 and I can't decrypt multi-channels
 in a boquet.
 My cable provider doesn't support upgrade over PIDs - so I need some manual
 way from a PC.

 Thanks

 Simon
