Lost my HD channels

[ahevans]

Hi
I recently noticed that after a retune, I no longer get HD channels such as Dave or NHK World.
I have tried multiple times to retune but no joy.
Is this a known issue?

Please, give us more information about server/client, software/hardware ...

First of all, make an update of dvblink server and all installed packages. The lates dvblink server is V5.5.
Then we continue the hearing.

Is it necessary to upgrade when it worked a couple of weeks ago? Not really a fan of upgrades unless I have to...

[the_man]

Not really. The channels could disappear due to the moving from transponder to transponder. So you have to do rescan of channels at your TVSource.

[ahevans]

Yes - done a rescan several times and it doesn't change, still no NHK World HD or Dave HD.

Strange thing is a rescan resulted in them getting lost. Could I have accidentally ticked a box? Where should I be looking?

Just apprehensive of an upgrade as it can add more issues, so want to try and keep things consistent.

You can add your own transponder list, or update available. Just go to kingofsat.net, find there your Satellite ( for example astra 19.2 http://en.kingofsat.net/tvsat-astra1m.php) download the *.ini file.
Open this file in editor and replace the list of transponders in your current *.ini file (or just replace the file at all)
The replacement, you can do at scanning tab.
"How to" look here:

Just open editor by clicking "Edit transponders"

Bit of a new area for me, so what transponders are best for the UK?

[the_man]

What satellite do you use?

[ahevans]

Looking in DVBlink, I have Astra 1N/2A/2E/2F/Eutelsat 28A (28.2E) (28.2)

[the_man]

Here you go (transponder list for (28.2e)):

[ahevans]

thanks, will give it a whirl

[ahevans]

so, made some progress...

I got NHK World back in HD but after checking the live stream, if I go to view any other channel I get a message saying the transponder is busy with other clients... That's a new one I haven't seen before.

[the_man]

It can be due to the fact that the previous connection still open (and the previous channel still streams )
To be sure need log files with reproduced issue.
