Hello all,

 

Since this afternoon, I have a problem with my DM8000. My setup uses Diseqc with Astra and Hotbird and I cannot access any channels on HB

 

When I try to check my signal (bargraph), I get an error that it cannot scan.

 

I don't know if the problem comes from the tuner(s), the diseqc controler or my LNB which points to HB. It is evening and there's a strong fog, so I can't verify by bypassing my diseqc and testing LNBs individually; I'll do that tomorrow when I can see what I'm doing.

 

In the mean time, I would like to manually add a channel that I normally watch on HB but from Astra. This channel is unfortunately not in my All channels list. I think I have all the necessary information (SID, VPID, Audio, ...) but cannot find a menu option to manually enter my channel.

 

I saved my configuration using iDreamX and thought I could simply add this channel and import it back but it seems the saved configuration of my favourites shows a reference to the position of the channels from the All channels list and since I don't have that channel there, it seems there isn't much I can do.

 

Any idea how I could achieve this?

Hi,

 

You can just scan the TP where the channel is and it will added into your lamedb file (all channels), the userbouquet files are just pointer to channels that are in the lamedb.

So it is useless to add channels into userbouquet if it doesn't exist in the lamedb.

I have the exact same error when I try to scan channels, so there's no way to get anything new from a Sat scan.

Problem solved: it was a faulty cable

 

I would like to know if it is possible to manually enter a channel though

No the channel must be found by a scan.

 

I am not surprised that it was a faulty cable, often when a DiseqC no longer works it is because there is a shortcut somewhere in the cable.
