You're passing a string to bytearray, not a sequence of bytes.
capmt = bytearray(b'\x9f\x80\x32\x00\x03') # capmt start
In Python 3 there is a difference between string and bytes.
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.
Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

I apologise if this question will appear lame and/or very old.
Actually, I have seen right now (I am writing this on top, but as last edit to my post) that I already put this question a couple of years ago, but I received no answer.
I am getting Satback OK since the very first moment the remedy was found by doublet&C.. So, no problem in this.
I can also (usually) edit lamedb properly to achieve the result.
But if I then edit my channels with DreamBoxEdit (7.2.1.0), some of the extra parameters get stripped.
This is very inconvenient, since reduces a lot my flexibility to update the channel list, other than from the receiver itself.
Even in this thread (very many many) pages up (page 4), at the time when the trick had not been discovered robbie says that DreamBoxEdit keeps all extra options.
But this does not happen in my case, at least not in the way I am using it (pretty standard: load->edit->save, and then the standard procedure to upload it to the receiver by FTP).
After saving, some extra options are not there any more and lamedb needs some editing (again).
Am I missing something? Is there a way/other software to freely edit the channels without damaging BBC entries after the first necessary editing "by hand" in lamedb?
Thank you!

It's easier to use in Py3
based on OpenPli with oscam.dvbapi:

However, this is still a user intervention in the lamedb file
DreamboxEdit is an old program, some c: are causing it problems.

It seems to be a transponder very difficult to catch outside roughly the area normally served by the original FreeSat service.
It is a no go for East/SE Europe.
It is also interfered with by signals at near frequencies on different beams of the same satellite. So, a 15 m dish might not help if you are in the wrong place.
I fear it was good until it (will) last.
I seize the occasion to send again many thanks to the people who here helped to have this service available soon after FreeSat transferred in its narrow beam.
I still hope that someone can come out with a similar new bright idea, at least for the people in the right places for this new service, but no one can easily fight against physics for the others.

Do you get subtitles on ITV HD with these parameters in lamedb?

Where do I find bbc_pmt_v6.py? I'd like to give it a try as I seem to have a mixed up lamedb probably full of redundant parameters. Should lamedb be different for OpenATV and OpenPli?

Hi EnoSat.
Ive done a bit more testing, and i do see a signal on 11044V, and can see its a QPSK at 44110 SR and 9/10.
It is too weak to get a signal lock for channel search. There is a signal right below it with out any guardband, maybe thats a signal from the Medcentral beam.
I will do some more testing, and report back, if im able to get any more useful data.
Cheers
