The script decoded the PMT, so there was no need to manually edit lamedb and insert pids

[Huevos]

So if you are using the script how do you scan the channels in the first place?

[EnoSat]

Like a normal transponder

Good morning,

could someone check if you have reception at the moment.
Weirdly I dont have signal since this morning.

 

many thanks

[v12nut]

No signal here (Spain) either

[sleepy]

Same by me (Italy)! :-(

I have dreadful weather (and therefore also nearby 22W was down as well, but that came back, although weak) so I thought that would be the reason.

But it cannot be bad weather everywhere!

Now I am on 5W and cannot check for some time to come (1 hour or so). I hope that when I check again it will be OK again or otherwise we have a big problem...

thanks guys. much appreciated.

either they have left the position OR it will be re-organised due to HD regional versions of BBC One, or they have uplink issues.

 

I hope they will be back soon.

[sleepy]

It is back, though slightly weaker (still?).

[bloke76]

yes, back it is,

but as you've said, weaker, I had around 70%, now only 60%, let's hope the signal get's a bit stronger later.

[bloke76]

Reception is back to normal, about 10% higher than it was yesterday after the blackout.

Reception is back to normal, about 10% higher than it was yesterday after the blackout.

Maybe the satellite drifted out of its position and ground control had to manoeuvre it back into its correct position.

[Huevos]

Intelsat 901 is very old and completely out of fuel. It was put in graveyard orbit in 2019. Later, an MEV was launched and went and retrieved it and brought it back to geostationary. So now the MEV, not the satellite, is responsible for station keeping. And, in another couple of years it is going to be sent back to the graveyard.

Has the reception gone again? I am having issues since yesterday.

[sleepy]

Fine here.

[SCSSSD]

Is anyone using EPG Importer? It works flawlessly with all the channels except CBeebies, and my only goal was to program some recordings on CBeebies. For some reason, it doesn't download events for this channel. Any idea?

 

I'm using the source Rytec UK XMLTV.

[Pr2]

Cbeebies is defined as follow in Rytec file:

<!-- 27.5W --><channel id="CBeebies.uk">1:0:1:1240:1000:1:CFDACE7:0:0:0:</channel><!-- Cbeebies -->

So check that the service reference is still the right one, if not you should provide the new one to doglover in the Rytec EPG dedicated section.

Hi everybody,

 

I'm also interested to use the BBC- script for the  python 3 image.

Could someone help to translate the python script into a python 3 version?

I have attached the bbc_pmt_v6 version.

 

Thank you in advance:



Huevos: You don't need a script anymore. It is all built in to the image.

Hi everybody,

 

I tested the new approach in different images on a ZGEMMA in multiboot.

This function works fine in opelPLI and openHDF, but not in  openATV with the same settings. 

 

I like to ask you which binary file includes the built-in function?

Can you provide this information?

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi! Since this morning, I don't receive this satellite. 1.2M in Canary Islands. Since the first blackout few weeks ago, the signal lowered a bit, but now, nothing.

At the lower limits 8 dB SNR, but receiving it.

Central Italy, bad weather and clouds, Channel Master 1.8 m

[ManoloMos]

The signal has recovery a bit, enough for to receive, but in the limit, 6,6dB sn right now.
