Glitching

I was watching KTLA news this evening and noticed that there was glitching very similar to the Sundtek tuner on strong signal channels. Namely, a strong signal channel would glitch (KTLA), while other channels with the same signal strength (TVO and City) played perfectly.

Just an observation which makes me wonder if there is a ecm in the stream that might cause this.

My guess for you is signal interference, maybe from another satellite. I had to move my dish almost to 103W before I could get this mux, which could point to an interference issue, my poor dish system or both. My SNR is about 2db lower than yours, but I have a clear, glitch-free picture at the moment.

I can't get my solo2 to scan Ses 1 as it doesn't show up in the list of scanable sats even after I have it set up on tuner B. I also noticed that before a manual or blind scan, several of my c band sats are missing. Any ideas why? Almost seems as if my sat file is corrupted in some way.
 
Your sat file should be OK.

Post your settings file in etc/enigma2. Post this file ONLY if you have not connected to Facebook or any social media that requires a password using the Solo2. (May need to start a separate thread)

My bad, I was checking the sats on tuner A which I use for ku band. Stupid me, changed to tuner B and they are all there.
 
Same thing will happen if your satellites.xml file in etc/tuxbox Changes during an update. Be sure to keep up with the sat file that the receiver was set up with!

What about glitching on the 101 mux? Do you have any???
 
In regards to the glitch, I just found it interesting that it almost replicates the same symptoms as with the atsc glitching.

My other channels on 101 are fine with no glitching. This was my first experience with a solitary glitching channel on 101 since I installed the bud.

As of right now, no glitching on that channel and the signal fluctuates between 12 and 12.2 db.
 
Will load 2015-11-30 19:005:10 and leave it running/recording my usual over night station. Tomorrow will play with other stations to see the results.

Thanks.
 
It just runs up to 99 and does not go over that amount. SNR in db would be best, but it does not run over 99 percent now. I have many stations on one antenna showing 99.

Also, Glitching and audio chopping should be fixed in Vu+ images with drivers dated 12-1-2015. The foul play by Vu Was Not appreciated.!!!
 
The first set of pictures are of Vix in flash build v.023 dated Nov. 11, 2015 and Sundtek drivers dated Nov. 30, 2015.

Has minor video glitching and audio glitching and/or distortion.

The second set of pictures are of Vix in flash build v. 027 dated Dec. 01, 2015 and the same Sundtek drivers date Nov. 30, 2015.

Still minor video glitching but the audio problems have disappeared.

Third set is ATV in usb open multiboot v. 5.1 dated Nov. 12, 2015 and Sundtek drivers dated Nov. 30, 2015.

Look closely at the last picture you posted. The drivers are dated 12-1.The Vu drivers before 12-1 are bad, down to about May. So you have several months of bad Vu+ usb drivers.

The Sundtek drivers for ATSC have not been changed in some time. As far as I know, the only ATSC change in months has been the recent signal level change which should only be cosmetic.
