    OV 5.4.003 plus GigaBlue and LNB Switch Off???

    Has OV 5.4.003 solved the issue with GigaBlue boxes which have been switching off power to the LNB when tuner A stops an activity prematurely when other recordings are scheduled??
    So removing the need for a power injector to keep the LNB live??

    I have spotted any comments on the forum or in the OpenVix 5.4 thread.

    Looks like it was sorted some time ago in the update for drivers now dated 23/7/2020...

    Ever since the systmeinfo.py changes, I still get tune failed issues. Right pain in the rear when using ABM from cold start or a service not on the LNB. I don't have an issue with PLi.

    have to say works fine for me, but I don‘t use ABM. There is no significant difference between OpenPli and OpenViX in the dvb libraries and NimManager

    I don't use a powered switch or LNB. Just an LNB powered by the receiver.

    .... and I have a mixture of powered switches and unicable lnb inputs- but on one receiver the main input is an LNB powered by the receiver.

    I must be doing something wrong.

    EDIT:
    The attached video shows me switching from a Terrestrial channel to its satellite equivalent. You will see, there is a tune failed message. LNB power is meant to be constantly on. If that was the case, LNB would not need to power up.
