Ariva 252 Problems

[aprasha]

This is for Ferguson guys, to fix on next firware of 252:

-Some Ariva come with the HW Version of the 250 (38032 instead of 38050) making impossible to import list channels.

-When you edit manually with the remote control the name of a channel you can put a Space (the key character is there, but when you push it nothing happens).

-If you order alphabetically the channels with the remote control you can't roll back. Selecting LCN makes the channels go in a different order from original.

-These Astra 19.2 E TPs have the Symbol Rate with 29700:
11817 V
12090 V
12129 V
12168 V
12207 V
12246 V
12441 V

By the way. I reported the first problem to the "Technical Support" on Ferguson web page about 10 days ago and I'm still waiting for an answer...

(...) you can't* put a Space (...)

-If you plug on the STB it switches on automatically.

-If you switch on the STB before the router, the Cccam will never work. No matter how many time you wait after router is working: you must allways reset the STB to make it work.

I know all these this because I have both elements on the same power strip, a power strip that I swith it off at night and swith it on next day when I sit on my sofa to watch some TV programs. Everyday I have to switch on the STB or reset it if I'm gonna use it. Just a bit annoying...

"Every day I have to switch off* the STB"

By the way... Is there a way of editing your posts in this forum?

Space character problem fixed: There is a button with "SP" on it that is for spaces...

More "problems" found:

-DVB-T Loop out has a very big lose of power when STB is on. If I want to watch TV using it's own DVB-T, I have to power off first the STB or I have many problems with several channels. Once STB is off, everything is ok.

-With Cccam:
-After 4 or 5 hours, image start to get frozen, about once each 10 or 20 seconds. A soft reset fix that.
-"Bitstream Out" on the digital audio exit works great with my home cinema, but with dolby channels, and after one or two hours, it starts to have micro-cuts of 0,1 sec each 10 or 20 secs (it's randomly so more or less). I can see on the home cinema display how the dolby icon dissapears for 0,1 secs. The sound comes again but it does it softly so it is more disturbing...
To fix it you have to do a hard reset (soft reset doesnt work!).
With LPCM Out or with DVB-T channels there is no problem.

Seems with Cccam there is some kind of problematic buffer...
