TBS 6925 PCi Card with hardware blind scan in DVB-S2 and DVB-S

[far78]

I've not got one of these cards (alas, have a TBS 8920 which I must admit I am very happy with, for the price!) but has anyone tried SmartDVBhttp://www.smartdvb.net/smartdvb/download.html? I use this with my TBS card and it seems to work pretty well for me

Can anyone confirm if Arrow Jazz and 100% NL are sending any audio?

Also is the Dutch Public stations on 11070 H 795 are there, I guess I'm on the limit of reception on the few I can get:

Radio 538 TNZ sometimes it wants to lock SlamFM on 11069 H 333
100% NL on 11072 H 333 - Clear audio
Arrow Jazz on 11073 H 333 - Clear audio
Canadian Forces Network on 12678 H 333

Can't find Joe FM, BNR Nieuwsradio and Radio 1-4 Netherlands

OK here with Radio 538 TNZ, audio OK
Arrow Jazz, audio breaking up occasionally
Joe FM ditto
Canadian Forces Network on 12678 H 333 No luck
100% NL on 11072 H 333 No luck
BNR Nieuwsradio and Radio 1-4 Netherlands No luck

Will try again for the missing ones, but it seems very hit and miss with these stations.

Arrow Jazz I just can't get any audio from.

Found BNR Nieuwsradio on 11071 333 H with full audio.

I really enjoying the catch of these, this is what I like about this hobby pulling something out of the air that's odd and these low SR's certainly are odd.

 

[Llew]

Yes, I'd like to know exactly to whom these channels are intended. There can't be many people with the kind of equipment needed to recieve them

 

[remlap]

These appeared very recently my guess its for the new relays they had to setup when the two transmitters in Holland caught fire the same day, one of them collapsed. Radio 1 Netherlands is even on 648 kHz from Oxfordness due to it.

CFN and Joe FM is anyone's guess.

I bow to your knowlege remlap. cheers.

 

[remlap]

Ha! Llew

My main question is how were these even posted to Lyngsat, they're to low to be blindscanned by anything. Does Lyngsat have an insider at whoever handles Dutch radio transmission?

 

[remlap]

Found Dutch Radio 1-4 on 11070 H 796 H

They sound great!

They even say the broadcaster broadcasting the show.

 

[Llew]

Well after an age, I managed to scan them in, but I had to up the SR by one (796).

Won't play any of the Dutch audios though.

 

[remlap]

After scanning they are an absolute pig to get to actually lock onto the correct transponder and then start sending audio, but they're there.

I have a gut feeling all of these are floating around 16e un found:

The receivers that can go all the way down to 128 SR!

[Llew]

Yes, as you say, with all those stations managed by Broadcast Partners, one might expect some to be distributed over satellite, perhaps other birds too. If contributors to Lyngsat/Flysat can find and get them posted up there, we with this wonder card might be able to do likewise; but heck, it will be a hard job locating them hiding between all the known TP's

ATSC transport stream on 8w 11193 H 2140.

 

[strs65]

Is it over? I only get a plain DVB-S/QPSK signal at 11183,H,2139 (Libya Al Hurra).

Yep its over sadly.

 

[remlap]

Radio Contact Transponder on 8w

12748 H 717 1/2

 

[Llew]

Yup, got those. Audio OK, but poor quality, muffled with little treble.

 

[remlap]

Radio Contact and Club FM (Radio Contact NL.) seems to be also handled by Broadcast Partners.

Sorry for posting so much on these low symbol rate radio stations but they have really pipped my interest.

 

[Llew]

All grist to the mill remlap. Good tests to stretch the limits of the card

 

[remlap]

I see BuyDVB is now saying its floor for the SR is 200, the packaging says 1000.
