[Buechler, Mark R]

Can you send out a patch showing your loop?

Thanks, Mark.

Hi everyone. I'm a user of Dish Network's legacy switches....that uses the
13/18V pulsing to send bits...Unfortunately, it's not always reliable. So
what I've done so far is put the tuning code in a loop, looking for a status
of 0x1f from the DVB card. This ensures a successful lock. So far so good.
That's not where I'm having my problem now.

About 70% of the time, I lock on to the right channel. The other 30%, I end
up on *a* channel, but on the wrong satellite. Is there a way from the
signal monitor to call a re-tune if we get to the PMTs and our desired PMT
is not in the PAT? If I can get this to work, I should be able to have 100%
reliable tuning.

Thanks,
-Matt
