Hi there,<br><br>I've just installed a shiny new Hauppauge HVR-3000 card in my myth box.<br>After some driver compiling and head scratching the hardware now works perfectly, and using dvbstream i can lock on to channels on Astra 2D
28.2E, particularly BBC1 Scotland, ITV Grampian etc, however within Mythv (i used both 0.20 and 0.21cvs) i can only pick up channels from Astra 2A/B and the signal strength is only reported as 5%, plus the picture suffers from peep/squeek and breakup.
<br><br>With dvbstream and the original digibox, all transponders are available and all channels are clear and suffer no break up.<br><br>I am in the Netherlands and have a dish pointed at Astra 28.2E and the LNB is a UNIVERSAL variety.
<br><br>I have seen some talk of mythtv not working too well with dvb-s and other talk of it working just fine.<br><br>I don't think the hvr-3000 is at fault as there are no problems using dvbstream and the dish/lnb is definately ok, so the only thing left is myth itself.
<br><br>Is there a known problem, am I doing something wrong? I set the diseqc to universal LNB and i don't see anywhere else i can configure options.<br><br>Any suggestions?<br><br>Regards<br><span><br>Mark Guz
<br>
</span></blockquote></div><br></span></div>More info:<br><br>The LNB is set to universal (LNB LOF Low 9750, High, 10600, Switch 11700)<br><br>I have removed myth completely and downloaded and compiled the latest SVN, which made no difference.
<br><br>Interestingly I can't find the channels on any of the transponders listed as Astra 2D 28.2E but can on 2A/B using scandvb or mythtv but i can lock directly onto channels using dvbstream.<br><br>I had a look at the LNB settings on my sky digibox and they are set to
9.57, 10.6 and 22kHz tone=ON. I don't find anywhere in mythtv to set this 22kHz tone but if i switch it off on my digibox, i loose a lot of channels. So i have a feeling the myth isn't setting the LNB up properly, but given that I knew ZERO about LNBs a week ago, I'm prepared to be proven wrong..

I've got one of those cards working fine with DVB-S on Mythtv, using Astra<br>28.2E (from the UK). I'm using Steven Toth's drivers from<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://linuxtv.org/hg/%7Estoth/hvr3000/" target="_blank">

<br>Myth - this is just a driver issue - it doesn't report signal strength<br>properly - doesn't make any difference to me.</blockquote><div><br>so that's a red herring then. I thought it might be.<br><br></div>

<div><br>good news...<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Can you lock onto the channels using szap ? If you can do that, I think
<br>it should work in Myth.</blockquote><div><br>some channels, but not all.<br><br>Maybe I should try again with the stoth drivers...<br><br>Thanks for responding..<br><br>Regards<br><br>Mark Guz<br><br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
