    Hi

    I have also trouble with this Transponter 11611 H 3/4 DVB S2 on my DM7080
    Signal switched from around 60% / dB 9.60 in seconds to zero
    and back to 60% and so on so i guess your Tuners are not the Problem
    maybe the Beam ( Europe+South Africa ) is the problem

    I've had a period of losing certain transponders in the past - most frustrating - but it turned out to be some work on a local transmitting tower. I suspect they'd used a temporary aerial that wasn't directional enough.

    Anyway, the message is that lost channels can be caused by interference as opposed to a weak signal.


    Those still getting problems should also try re-scanning the offending transponder(s) as minor changes to IDs can also have a big effect.

    fight network audio channels are flagged as private data, may that's messing up your scanning in. Signal is strong here in the north east UK. ESPN is even stronger. Havent watched espn for ages. Have they always used separate keys for each channel? its been ages since I tuned in. PQ is dire to the point of unwatchable on anything other than a tablet or smaller.

    TFN scans in just fine. It is the signal strength that is the problem on my DUO2 (not the old DUO on the same LNB feed!). As harddriver has said, it fluctuates every second from 66% to zero and is barely good enough to give a lock.

    AFAIAA both the ESPNs have always used separate keys. Video bit rate is currently around 4400 kbps (very decent quality)/

    Yes, they have used different keys for 901 and 902

    That causes problems for some emu's because the ECMs are the same so, for example, whichever key is first in the softcam file will get used.

    oscam ymod seems the only reliable emu for both channels - or it is for me - but the format of oscam.keys is different.

    The ESPN's use different ECM PIDs so if you enter these in the constant.cw file this eliminates the conflict.
    Code:
    #CAID       SID  PMT  ECM
    2600:000000:0385:0020:1FFF::xxxxx................... ;Espn 901 Caribbean (15.0W)
    2600:000000:0386:0020:1FFD::xxxxx.................. ;Espn 902 Syndication (15.0W)
    Having said that 902 is not working for me ATM using yesterday's new key.

    902 was showing blank video when I checked earlier so will appear to be not clearing even though it is

    Same here on 902 ATM. Oscam believes the key is correct but just a blank screen.

    At last, I've solved the mystery of the 'missing' ESPN 901 & 2 on my TM5402HD M3; well I had the frequency as 12515V s/r 7552 (as per one of our colleague mdt's Biss lists) - and of course it should be 12511V 7552 - and so using12511V it' alls coming in loud & clear at 90-96% no probs, so thanks for all your assistance in this thread, most appreciated and at least it gave us plenty of useful discussion around 15W either way! lol!
    Thanks again.

    Why does that make you think it is the cable?
    A few of us have the same problem, huge signal fluctuation, but for me it is only that one transponder and on one of my boxes. If it was the cable I would expect it to affect more transponders on all satellites and on both my boxes.

    I now think there is an issue with the transmission which affects just some susceptible tuners/boxes.
