Zapping speed problem

[pr2]

Hello,

Personnally I am not affected by this problem.
So I propose that people that have the problem report the same information has I do here:

I think you need to ask yourself what is an acceptable Zapping speed?

0 - 1 second
2 - 3 seconds
4 - 5 seconds
5+ seconds

What you might deem acceptable might not be for me.
Personally I don't care how long it takes as long the channel clears and remains clear.

Zapi speed (FTA channels): around 4s
Firmware: 0.9.2371

1s?

make a video of this

ok i found one video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svd-N_a5uLw&feature=related

this is super fast. I dont know what to do :/

[enrico001u]

Affected no

Zap speed 1 to 2 sec encrypted channel NDS FTA 1 sec or less
firmware 0.9.2372
incubascamd
8 sats 8-1 diseqc switch

22khz tone make sure this is enabled it will speed up channel change on about half of your channels
It does for me.
Could someone else test and see if it works for them.

Cheers

Hello,

Funny all the people that report so far, don't have the problem... but who has the problem then? Come on people with zap time problem, let us know your configuration to allow us to find where the problem is... and allow us to help you zap as fast as we zap. :driving:

@Taykun

For mgcamd you also need to setup a good file called:

priority.list

Exemple:

S: for Seca
V: for Viaccess



S: { 33 11 }
S: { 33 15 }
S: { 33 17 }
S: { 00 6D }
S: { 00 6C }
S: { 00 6A }
# use this via prov first
V: { 02 08 20 }
V: { 03 29 00 }
V: { 03 29 10 }
V: { 03 29 20 }
V: { 03 29 30 }
V: { 03 29 40 }


this is just an exemple for french channels, you need to setup your own depending on the channel you watch, to help mgcamd to choose immediately the right provider on simulcrypt channel.

Also ensure that your mg_cfg has the G: and P: parameter set properly depending on the type of server you connect to.

Exemple:


# network mode, use summ for several clients
# 00 no network (default)
# 01 newcamd netclient
# 02 radegast netclient
# 04 camd3 netclient
# 08 gbox netclient
G: { 04 }

# network shares priority
# 00 newcamd, radegast, camd3 (default)
# 01 camd3, radegast, newcamd
# 02 newcamd, camd3, radegast
P: { 01 }

P.S.: Same remark apply to CCcam 2.1.1 users please use CCcam.prio adapted to the channel you are watching, you need to help CCcam on Azbox to choose the right provider on simulcrypt channels!

[goran]

I forgot to say in the other thread that I use Mbox, most of the time.

Affected: not really, reboot when it gets slower...

Zapping speed (FTA channels): around 1s
Encripted channels: up to 2 seconds, rarely more
Firmware: 0.9.2371
Antenna : Fixed (90 cm Toroidal, 8 LNBs [0.2 dB], Centauri 8in1 switch)
Emu: Mbox 0.6 Beta build 0010
MultiCAS started: No
Other EMU started: No

I don't yet have a HDD connected, so not using timeshift.

[xanadu]

Affected:YES

Firmware: 0.9.2880
Diseqc 1.2
Emu: CCam 2.1.1
CCcam.prio defined: YES
MultiCAS started: NO
Other EMU started: NO

FTA is the same. Very slow channel changes

[tinos]

This test doesn't prove anything... you can switch inside same TP very fast and very slow between channels on same Sat (no diseqc). So if you do any testing don't zap on same transponder.
If you zap on same TP is it Ok... but anyother TP you double time 2x. Test done on FTA (no emus).

Zapping is slower than Kathrein or DM500S.

[xanadu]

I agree this is a total waste of time....

You need to compare like with like.

Everyone must zap exact same channel from and to......

Everyone must have same LNB & motor settings, firmware....etc etc

[AJR]

You need to compare like with like.

Yes .. its true

But in general... the zap speed is very slow compared to a DM500

[xanadu]

Yes .. its true

But in general... the zap speed is very slow compared to a DM500

And very slow compared to just about any receiver!

Even my old DM7000 is much faster.

[AJR]

And very slow compared to just about any receiver!

Yes :D

But I didn't want to upset the 'AZbox is perfect gang'

[digihoe]

Also please specify if Elite or Premium and if timeshift is enabled and if HDD is installed...

[xanadu]

Yes :D

But I didn't want to upset the 'AZbox is perfect gang'

It's only perfect because they probably never paid for their boxes. :D

[RABBY]

xanadu


It's only perfect because they probably never paid for their boxes


Saying no more m8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

[AJR]

Also please specify if Elite or Premium and if timeshift is enabled and if HDD is installed...

Premium
Timeshift disabled
No change with HDD before or after installation

[goran]

It's only perfect because they probably never paid for their boxes. :D

...or are selling them... :D

[xanadu]

Premium
Timeshift disabled
No change with HDD before or after installation

ditto

[AJR]

...or are selling them

Now now

be careful the muderator may be watching ..

Hello,

Please create your own post for all your discussion. This debate already took place in lots of other posts!
The goal here is to be constructive and really to find what can be the problem! By finding out what have in common the person who have a problem.

So please get stick to the 1st post questions and structure of the reply.

If I was moderator I would have delete all your **** discussion in this thread. Nothing constructive in your answer...

This thread should remains technical.

[goran]

The truth hurts sometimes, yeah... :rolleyes: :D

The hurt then search for power...:beatdeadhorse5:

:svengo:

[pr2]

Goran you are stupid! I am not looking for power I just try to find out the root reason of this problem, if there is really a problem.

All the people that report their settings don't have this problem.

So only one people on this forum, who don't even take the time to post in this thread seems to have it, and now it is not always: one day it works fine and the other day it doesn't. And he uses gCam probably something that nobody use here.

For one people that has a problem you make globality of this problem.

I am not looking for power I don't need it.

I think I will stop helping people here, just come to read your stupid comments and laugh while reading some of your posts.

If you are unhappy with your Azbox please sell it and let people who understand what they are doing continue to enjoy their STB.

I am not managing my Azbox HD by test error, I take time to read and understand the emu I am running on my box. And it doesn't fall into working status by chance... like some did here!

[goran]

I think everybody with any brains can see quite easily how your "magnanimity" has a very high price...

I don' think I ever attacked you. Deffo not like this. Quite the opposite!!!

I always thanked you for your help, when you could and did help! Sincerely. No lies!:respect-051:

On the other hand, I can see you have a serious chip...

Oh, never mind...

And no, I will not get to your level, non, merci...:gnorsi:

[goran]

Btw, stating the truth - as one sees it, sincerely and honestly - is the way forward.

For anyone with any brains. I hope Opesat have it.

But I have my doubts, too...

And doubts are healthy!

[tinos]

pr2 if I was moderator I would make you say sorry to Goran for your insults... it is not our fault that you made an ill and bias question here without all the facts. Your mistake is only yours. If we tell you technical facts just take it with some respect.
