I just checked signal level of my DVB and it 60%, as usual. I live near
Milan and my dish diameter is 60cm, transparent plastic esternally. I can
not say anything else, since I just sent my request for Tellique sw to
Eumetsat and I am still waiting (anxiously :-) ) for it.



Cheers.

Oggetto: [MSG-1] Transponder Loss



Unless some unexpected has happened at this end it looks as if the 11096
transponder is down.
Red icon on the taskbar for the DVB but only on that frequency and TV
channels on that transponder also down (Sailing channel etc.)
All other channels seem ok.
Hopefully short lived.
Hope others are seeing this.

Douglas,
I've just switched on my rx PC and data seems to be flowing OK here

Back on but from experience you may need to re-boot in the correct sequence
if segment loss is to be avoided.
The outage was about 10 mins with some questionable in/outs just prior to
that.

Exactly the same here.

I doubt it - looks like there was a break in the feed around that
time. The access control tests aren't due until December 02 as I
recall.

I agree with David

Jeff,

Someone in EUMETSAT has successfully used the TechniSat SkyStar 2 PCI
(see Timestep advertisement in the September RIG Journal) to receive the
C-Band
EUMETCast service from Atlantic Bird-3.

As David said earlier, you will need to register with EUMETSAT to receive
this
service and to be able to obtain the tq(R)-TELLICAST software - from
EUMETSAT.
You will also need David Taylor's MSG Manager software.

You will need a large dish - 2.4 to 3.7m.
Also, of course, a C-Band feedhorn with a slab in its throat for LHC
polarisation.
A C-band LNB that will output between 950 and 2150 MHz to feed into the
SkyStar
card.

EUMETCast C-Band service parameters:

Atlantic Bird-3.
Transponder C02.
Frequency 3726.7535 MHz.
Symbol Rate 5.964 Msymbol/s.
FEC Auto.

More information in EUMETSAT Technical document EUM TD 15 issue 2. available
on the EUMETSAT website - <A HREF="www.eumetsat.de">www.eumetsat.de</A>

I'm sure you will find C-Band equipment more easily available on your side of
the pond.
C-Band never really happened on this side of the Atlantic as far as DTH
satellite TV is concerned.

You might try Chaparral for feedhorns and Dexcel Inc. for LNB's.
Both I think are in Santa Clara CA.

I hope this has been of some use.

David,

I have this but on the 0815 cycle where all HRIT/LRIT channels

have segments 2 4 5 6 7 8 are missing, segment 3 has the first few
lines missing and the 0830 cycle is missing . HRV all except 1 and 2
missing.

Looks very similar here.....

Looking at the process log this seems to be a reception problem.

The Tellique log shows that between 08:21:48 and 08:47:19 the only
Channel 2 files received were Admin and many expired keys are
present.

I wonder if this problem could be related to specific users, maybe

a problem with the dissemination and user keys etc.

Peter

I doubt it - looks like there was a break in the feed around that
time. The access control tests aren't due until December 02 as I
recall.

In some respects, it might be nice to see a dark grey level
transmitted instead of missing data. Woudl that be a good idea, or
not?

Cheers,
David

this morning on the 0830 scan, seg 2 was missing from all images, and seg 3
was interrupted about 10 lines from the start.

David,

David,
My collection computer has been running since late Friday 10
October. The computer that runs MSG Data Manager was turned on
yesterday ( It is used for other jobs with occassional bursts of

MSG

processing. It was left on overnight to catch up on the MSG
processing. I noticed this morning that it had stopped processing
the stored files at 13 October 1800. Sometime between 0800 this
morning and 0900 it continued to process with as far as I know no
actions that could have triggered the processing restart other

than

possibly starting up a different machine on the same network.

David, this is the expected behaviour from the current version. It
was processing the 0815 cycle, data for which stopped in the middle
of the scan. When data for the 0830 cycle started to come in, the
program waited around for while just in case more data for the 0815
cycle was going to come in. When it did not, the program shrugged
it's shoulders (you _did see the animation?), and started processing
the 0830 data.

I
notice that it has now caught up with all the stored data and is
running fine. I have also noticed that MSG animator does nothing
until the catch up has occurred. I have the missing segemnts

reports

for this location if you want them. The two computers are coupled

by

wireless 54g.

The animator won't update the animation until new data is available.

Cheers,
David

Oh, well, that's right up-to-date! I'm adding more protection to
the program against bad segment data which the Tellique software
sometimes seems to emit, so perhaps it may not happen in a future
version. You seem to have been the only person to reports this,
which is not bad considering all the TeraBytes and more of data that
has been processed with the software!

David,

I took the LRIT PID out to reduce hard drive usage on my receive

PC. That explains why FSD also stopped.

Many Thanks,

OK, that makes sense.

Presumably, what you were trying to achieve was to get the FSD, but
not the unwanted LRIT data from MSG-1? There doesn't seem to be a
way of achieving that with the present Data Channel organisation,
does there? If there were more sub-division of the data channels,
then you could do that....

But, I did think that the MSG Data Manager would delete the LRIT
data from the Receiver PC even if you didn't process it, so I don't
quite understand what you were trying to do in the first place.

Hi All,

Configured Interface as 192.168.0.5 and Tellique now works
correctly...how does this work...anyone?

Now to re-configure MDM on the XP Pro machine...I know it's the
middle of the night, but...

73 de Wayne M5WJF

Hi All,

Oh am I having problems here!

I have swapped over to a two PC system, having XP Pro on one machine
and 98SE on another. The intention being to collect raw data using
Tellique/98SE and process this using MDM/XP Pro over a 100Mbit
Network.

Having discovered that Norton Firewall on the XP Pro machine wanted
fixed Intranet IP's and the 98SE machine configured as a trusted
site before allowing a viable Network to exist, I've now run into
problems with the Tellique Software running on the 98SE machine.

It requires an IP of 192.168.238.238 by default for the Interface,
which appears to be the wrong address.

Having tried 192.168.0.2 (98SE PC) I've now got an error report
of 'Receive buffer size for socket could not be adapted to requested
value (1000000 > 65280). This could cause reception problems. Check
system limits!'

Ahem, all well and good if I knew where to look for these limits or
indeed what the settings should be, obviously I've got something
configured incorrectly, anyone able to offer me a solution?

Jeff,

I can't tell you much more than is in the RIG Journal. You saw the
comments on dish size, I expect. You would need to get a username
and password from Eumetsat, so I would suggest applying to be an
(Amateur) End User. John Tellick can probably provide guidance on
filling in the Eumetsat forms.

You will also have seen the comments about needing a C-band RX with
the appropriate IF to suit the DVB card, and that there are two DVB
cards recommended (one for each waveband of DVB satellite). You
could take a look at:

http://www.satsignal.net => Weather Satellites, MSG-1 & ATOVS

for a little more guidance as well.

We'd be delighted to have you on board!

David

.. and what version of the MSG Data Manager? I haven't seen that
