Can you please enable debug logs, restart receiver, repeat the ABM process than upload the logs. This will help identify the issue and help you. See this thread. http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?44783-ABM-support-questions


Can you also confirm you are located in the British Isles?

 

[Hannaman]

Yes I'm in Northern Ireland. Il go through that process now and get back to you.

Hi mate where do i find the debug log file i can only find the crash log files?

 

[Hannaman]

think this is it i hope so anyway

 

[abu baniaz]

I dont see ABM running in that log. Please repeat. Pm being sent as to why I removed attachment.

The logs are in /home/root/logs/

 

[Hannaman]

thanks mate i used that path and there was no logs there and thats why i sent it in wrong format.

 

[Hannaman]

think i found it not totally sure though,View attachment Enigma2-19-04-2015_13-10-59.log

There are no tune failed errors in the log. It shows that it completed. (As far as I can see). If you look at line 4681, it goes on to renumber.

Can you post screenshots of the provider section please. Guide in signature.

 

[Hannaman]

here you go.

 

[Hannaman]

thats the only sport channel thats working too.

 

[abu baniaz]

Not too sure what is going on. Are you OK with removing all channel data and running ABM again?

If so, telnet the following command, it will stop receiver, remove all chanenl data and then restart receiver. Youc n then run ABM again. Hopefully you will be sorted. Link to guide to using Putty for telnet commands in signature.

init 4 && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/lamedb && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.tv && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.radio  && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.del && init 3

 

[Hannaman]

yes no problem il try that.

I came across this on another website:

"In the last few days some of the frequencies used by Sky TV have changed their frequency settings.

They have changed their FEC from 2/3 to 5/6.

Channel affected include the following :

Sky News, Pick TV, Sky Sports 5, Sky Atlantic HD +1, Sky Sports 3 Ireland, Pick Ireland, Sky Sports 4 Ireland, Disney XD UK, Disney Channel UK, Disney Junior UK, Disney XD UK +1, Disney Channel UK +1, Disney Junior UK +1, Sky Sports 1 in Pubs, Sky Sports 2 in Pubs, Sky Sports 3 in Pubs, Sky Sports 4 in Pubs, Sky Arts 2 HD, Sky Atlantic HD Ireland, Sky Sports News HQ, Sky Sports 1 Ireland, British Eurosport 2, Sky Sports 4, Fox UK +1, Comedy Central Extra UK .

The frequencies affected include;
12207/V/27500 5/6, 11914/H/27500 5/6 and 12148/H/27500 5/6

The FEC is the Forwards Error Correction, and tries to eliminate errors and missed data during transmission, which results in picture breakup. By increasing the FEC (say from 2/3 to 5/6) then there is less allowance for errors, freeing up bandwidth on the frequency. With more bandwidth on the frequencies, this can allow more channels on that frequency.

BY doing this however, there is a reduction is signal level, and so some areas may see a loss of these Sky pay channels."

No joy buddy starting to think its a hardware problem but not sure very strange never had this before.

 

[Hannaman]

Ok i see is there nothing i can do?

@bbbuk

if you use the xml file linked to by Abu these changes don't matter. That is the whole point of ABM. Channel and transponder data updates automatically.

 

[Hannaman]

I transferred that file this morning it didn't make any difference unless I did something wrong but I just overwrite the file that was in there with that file.

 

[Hannaman]

Just transferred that file again all channels are there but a lot are still blank baffled

 

[Hannaman]

Just done another rescan and its a completely new set of channels that are blank lol nictoons is now gone that's me in big trouble my we lad will kill me lol Sorry I just have to laugh it must be my box.
