Well, it seems I found the problem. The HAUPPAUGE NOVA-S2-HD card (HVR4000 lite / CX24116 frontend) won't lock onto DVB-S2 channels with FEC_AUTO or ROLLOFF_AUTO set. So, I modified the plugin to allow selectable values for FEC and ROLLOFF and now it works fine. I can now lock and scan DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels (QPSK and 8PSK) directly from the plugin menu and move the dish to find and store satellites with diseqc and signal strength meter. Ideal for feedhunting now! When I get a bit more time I'll tidy up the plugin and release it as it should now act as a pretty good satellite channel scanner irrespective of whether you have a rotor within VDR. I haven't tested the entire satellite transponder scanning functionality yet for DVB-S/S2, that will be the next task but hopefully it won't need many changes. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
