DVBc quality check

badway · September 22, 2017 at 1:28 PM

Hi,

I have a question, I am using Libreelec (8.0.2) since a long time with Hauppauge Solo HD, everything was fine and after some update I started get a lot of Continuity Errors, CvH comments that this is known, I tried to go back the previous status with not luck, so I simply tested on windows PC to check but interesting the same was happening so it seems to be the signal quality.

On my TV same cable everything is working fine, is there any way to test the signal or an indication if the stick is broken?

Thanks for support

Could be cable connection, could be to too low/overpowered signal, could be some shitty cable provider that has changed something at his infrastructure. Pretty difficult to track down, I would test it at windows (to rule out driver problems) and then replace the cable with an longer one and a shorter one - if this don't help try if you can test the stick somewhere else. Could even be the incoming connector to your home or something.

Did some tests over the weekend, the stick does the same on windows, I have another stick Astrometa which I tested on windows and it is working very normal, also I connected the cable to my TV and channels are also working fine.

DVB T2 on windows is working fine on the SoloHD but DVBc breaks big time ??? any tips or should I contact Hauppauge?

PS: I will try to test using Prog DVB today I don't think it will be different

Thanks

if Astrometa works it is likely a problem of your stick

there is nothing to be really sure but at least sounds like this

Thanks CvH, I called Hauppauge and they almost said the same, I will go to the shop to check my options.

Any recommendation which build to use with the Astrometa, since the reason I bought the Solo HD was that Astrometa was not working fine with the rpi.

Danke.

no idea really, you can try LibreELEC 8.x images for additional dvb drivers

there are multible drivers in - if it works no idea

the xbox one dvb usb stick works well and is ultra cheap (~10€)
