[VU+ Ultimo] Lost DVB T2-channels

[rte]

I have lost my T2-channels in the internal tuner. Scanning doesn't find any. That happened already with Helios.
As far as I know, no change in the service provider's sender has taken place. All T-channels are ok.
Any suggestions?

Just to confirm, you had these before using the same tuner?

Yes. I guess I have to check my antenna after some windy weathers.

I've checked the antenna. The signal is ok. I wonder if Apollo is missing the correct driver for my DVB T2-module?

If its the internal tuner then the drivers are provided by Vu+ within their own driver releases, so there is no way for us to have wrong or incorrect drivers.

I just don't understand why I can't get the T2-channels any more even if I could get them earlier with the very same equipment.

Post up your tuner configuration. Any changes prior to the loss of channels.

Have you checked the cable?

My tuner B: Vuplus DVB-T NIM(SSH108)(DVB-T2)
Switchable tuner types: (DVB-T2/DVB-C)
Enabled
Provider setting: Scandinavia (Europe DVBT/T2)
I use DVB-T2 in scanning.
In my lib/modules/3.1.1/extra I see: brcmfb.ko, dvb-bcm7413.ko, fpga_directc.ko, and procmk.ko, all dated 1st June 2014.

What is your location?

I know my provider's sender frequencies and I scan separately the right T2-frequencies. That I have done before successfully. No problems with T-channels.

If you know the frequencies and bandwidths, compare those to /etc/tuxbox/terrestrial.xml/Scandinavia (Europe DVB-T/T2) to see if that is a proper setting for your area.

 

[rte]

The frequencies are correct in the terrestial.xml-file. I scan the T2-frequencies separately with T2-setting.

I wonder if the restoring of settingsbackup after reflashing returns the old drivers?

The puzzle is now partly solved. My service provider admits that they have made changes in their T2-channel sender from 2nd June 2014. This will probably require extra antenna signal amplifying. Since I already have an amplifier adjusted to maximum and all the T-channel signals are strong I have requested a proposal for suitable antenna amplifier for this purpose. I'm waiting for the answer.
This, of course, is poor performance from my provider. I have only 7 km to the sender over the lake.
I apologize for any inconvenience for all trying to find a possible reason for my problem.

 

[abu baniaz]

Is it just signal levels changed or frequencies too?

I was thinking maybe perform the equivalent to blind scan.

There is no reason for you to apologise, this is why the forum is here, so that you can ask questions.

The signal levels or some other signal parameters must be changed. The channel and the frequency are the same as before.
I still try to test the signal with USB PCTVnanoStick T/T2 but I need the driver for it. This is just to see if my Samsung tuner T2-module is not the reason. I have to wait untill the feed is up again.

 

[rte]

I'm just more confused. USB PCTVnanoStick T/T2 didn't even give me the system choice DVB-T2 to scan, only DVB-T. Freshly downloaded driver cannot be uptodate.

 

[rte]

It seems to me that the changes made by my terrestial provider affect my DVB-T2-tuners so that their present drivers can't cope with it. That is really confusing.

 

[rte]

My terrestial provider confirms now that the footprint area of my nearest sender has been limited from 2nd June 2014 and T2-channels may not be received with the normal antenna and amplifier. I can't help mentioning that this provider is Digita in Finland. What a primitive service!
