PM sent. Please upload output here if possible.

Stage 1. Backup
Backup the following files in this location /etc/enigma2/
lamedb
anything any ending with ".tv"
anything ending in .radio

These are currently working, so keep safe. we will send back later.

Stage 2. Remove existing channel data
Telnet the following command.
init 4 && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.tv && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.radio && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.del && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/lamedb && init 3

Stage 3. Running ABM and saving "wrong" data.
Run ABM for Dover only. (using original files).
Backup the following files in this location /etc/enigma2/
lamedb
anything any ending with ".tv"
anything ending in .radio

This will allow us to compare. Please also re-upload debug log for this stage

Stage 4a. Remove data which is no use to you.
Telnet the following command. (restart command not in here)
init 4 && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.tv && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.radio && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.del && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/lamedb

Stage 4b. Restore your working data.
Restore the files from stage 1
Telnet "init 3" This will restart receiver and you will be back where we started with you having working channels.

Output files and logs attached. There may well be a little more 'log' than necessary since I didn't clear them down first . . . !

Thanks. I'll ask the coders to have a look.
We need working and non working lamedb files to compare.

So, what is that scan. Is it from ABM or E2?

[JeanReno]

It's using ABM

[Huevos]

Ok, can you post a lamedb from a clean manual scan of terrestrial please.

[JeanReno]

OK. Files cleared down and manual scan(s) run.

First I ran a manual scan on Auto, which only lists 7 channels. The ones from C53 (730.0MHz) :

Then a manual scan of DVB-T to get the rest:

Resulting lamedb file here: lamedb.zip

[Huevos]

So your standard E2 scan doesn't receive any HD channels. You need to do a complete T2 scan.

Please try the attached file and scan with ABM again. Goes in

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom

So your standard E2 scan doesn't receive any HD channels. You need to do a complete T2 scan.

This is why we had that big chat about the scan mode.

Running ABM with this file results in just SD channels. I assume because the T2 730Mhz transponder isn't listed in the XML.

[abu baniaz]

Yes you are correct, however, it is the TSID which is required for your area for correct T1 scanning. The xml did not contain the T2 channels becasue your lamedb did not have them.

We are stepping in the right direction. Can you do a manual complete scan, selecting T2. Then upload the resulting lamedb file. I have edited this thread to include Huevos's new script and also a picture of scan mode to be used.

[JeanReno]

Ah, OK, so lamedb gets overwritten rather than appended to on subsequent scans? I wasn't aware of this. I'll run tomorrow remotely when the wife is out.

Sorry, I don't see the edit you mention?

[abu baniaz]

Probably because I forgot to paste the link.

By the look of the ABM scan, Dover mast is just a repeater of Bluebell Hill. So the DVB tables ABM is scanning correspond to the frequencies transmitted by Bluebell Hill mast, rather than Dover.

PSB1 on Dover is C50, on Bluebell hill is C46. PSB2 on Dover is C51, on Bluebell Hill is C43. Should be obvious from channel service display which transmitter OP is receiving from. Dover is 80kW, Bluebell Hill is 20kW
