I did a power off for 5min and restarted everything, now the card works flawless (proposed by Ernst-thank you very much!). Just for info if you have problems with retuning the 6909X. A reboot doesn’t cure it. Regards, Christian

Everything works fine here with HVS-2 vertical having a +4dB... and here is my first image received with HVS-2 V polarization. Cheers, Ernst |

Hm….no! The new transponder setting (h/v) is not working here. :-(Christian, The new transponder is only used for HVS-2, not HVS-1. As far as I know there has been no change to HVS-1, and even more unlikely late into the evening. No-one else shows a similar change: https://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_eumetcast-europe_losses.php https://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_eumetcast-europe_rx_io.php If this is TBS hardware, check that the drivers haven't changed which tuner is being used for HVS-1/BAS. Watch out for any new cross-polarisation leakage from transponder C3 into C4. Cheers, David -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: https://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@...

BAS and HVS-2 is good, HVS-1 is not working correct, see screenshot. Regards, Christian

Tested again this evening (20:20Z) and appears to be functioning correctly now with just the parameter changed in /etc/channels.conf for TP freq and pol.

Still borked here checking just now (2200Z).Oh, sorry to hear that, Charlie. I wasn't able to find out (yet) what changed, if anything. I say "If anything" because when I was first testing the signal was very marginal - you may have read about the intense rain in eastern Scotland yesterday. My guess is that the chap I spoke with won't be back until Monday, but do keep sending your reports - and that applies to anyone seeing issues with the new HVS-2/11263/V service.

Folks,
I've been in touch with EUMETSAT about this issue and forwarded Charlie's information (most helpful, thanks). I was able to check again at 16:20 UTC today and HVS-2/11263/V now appears to be perfect. Perhaps anyone with the issue could check? Thanks for your reports. Cheers, David -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: https://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@...

Hi all, Charles, I'm seeing something similar with a TBS6903 card and BDADataEx on Windows. I /should/ only need to change frequency and polarisation, but thwn I do that TelliCast doesn't connect correctly. I suggest you report your findings to EUMETSAT as I intend to do.

Ernst teaches me something: „RTFM“, but it’s still hard to learn his lesson! :-D So maybe they are still testing and we should wait with creating an issue and reporting it to OPS… I too had strange effects and and a disturbed BAS with the 6909x…. Switched HVS-2 transponder back for now…. "The migration will include a parallel downlink period where the old and new transponders will be used from 24 November to 23 December.“ Regards, Christian

At least I'm not the only one...! I've contacted EUMETSAT Ops on this one to see what they say as I'm stumped. I can get scan-s2 to scan the transponder with dvb-eumetcast running on 11263 V, but not on 11263 H or 11388 H with dvb-eumetcast running *or* stopped. Latter times out as I guess the frontend is taken up already! It's like there is something buried in dvb-eumetcast expecting a different PMT PID or similar. The actual programme PIDs seem to be the same (610 and 611 available there on the HVS-2 PMT) Looks like 11263 V is already on the new teleport going by the following: PAT Be nice to compare this against the existing transponders but I can't scan it. Might have to spin up a live boot for a clean system to check...

Hi all, I feel like I've missed something painfully obvious but I've dug through the config files and scripts and can't seem to find what I'm missing. When I've tested HVS-2 on 11263 V or the HB13 service I've only been able to get the announcement channel on Tellicast - the data channels fail to connect! This is from changing the frequency in /etc/channels.conf. Changing it back is all okay on 11388 H.
Has anyone else run into this wall and if so, (how) did you manage to fix it?
