Terrestrial picture randomly breaking up - reboot receiver fixes it

[Stuey2017a]

Just happened again, I removed the coax from the RF Out to the TV, but no difference. I have scheduled another recording (same multiplex/channel) to see if I can force the issue to occur.
Any other ideas or suggestion will be most welcome

For me tuner a causes the problem, I've disabled it forcing b and had no issues. I've now re-enabled but have tuner b set as priority for recordings.

Thanks goRT, I will try that later. If it is Tuner A issue, that mean its a Physical Tuner/card issue right (and for me to contact WoS to see if I can get it replaced)?

I can't say if it's hardware or software. Earlier posts indicated dvb-s becoming pixelated on recordings (which I notice)
It's not clear in my mind, but the box is new and there's lots of work going g on.
When I get internet installed on Friday I may test openatv which is under more active development.

Wos will have mine back too if this is hardware.

If there's anyone with the same setup running an older version of vix which is working ok it would be helpful to know.

For me it's the first hybrid that causes the issue. Sat recording causes very minor pixelation on the dvb-t part.

Good to know others are experiencing the same issue, what is are you running?

Thanks

This has to be a driver issue thats crept it. New image will be built next week with latest drivers.

In the mean time can one of you guys test an earlier image build: http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/downloads/octagon-images/sf4008/

Also send reports of your issue to:

I've reported this thread to them.

I can test earlier builds after the internet arrives on Friday if no one else has by then.

Internet is not needed, tests like this should be done on free to air channels only.

Downloading the software to flash is a bit awkward without an internet connection ;-)

I'll go to Mcd's for you!

Is there a specific version you want me to test?

Try release 5.0.016. June there was a tuner driver update. https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-alliance-core/commits/4.0/meta-brands/meta-octagon/recipes-drivers

I'm using a SF4008 with 1x Twin sat tuner and not seen an issues, but then my box has been setup with fallback tuner to another box. I've now disabled fallback. Box will be left on constant to see if i can replicate this.

 

[Stuey2017a]

Thats one of the main problems I've got, I cannot seem to be able to reproduce the issue on a constant basis. It seems to be around a timed recording and I've tried recording the same mutliplex/channel where alot of the time the issue occurs, but then works fine.
Is there a way I can enable detailed logging on the receiver (I've enabled "debug logging": OpenATV - Menu - Setup - System - Log Settings), but see nothing in the /home/root/logs or /var/log side.

Very easy to reproduce - disable tuner b and force tuner a - failure. Disable a and force b - no issue.

Thanks goRT, as I say I can't reproduce it consistantly, sometimes it records and wors fine on Tuner A sometimes not.
I will force it all onto Tuner B to see if that makes a difference.

I'm same failure on .16

Just to clarify, this is the twin hybrid dvb-t failing on tuner a. I'm not focused on the minor dvb-s which you refer to.
