Twinhan 1020A continuity errors on CBand

[iammike]

I was having problems locking high symbol rate cband transponders with my Genpix card, turns out it can't handle symbol rates higher than 30000, so I tried switching the cable over to my Twinhan 1020a card. The Twinhan can lock the transponders okay, but the picture stutters and hiccups pretty bad. I checked it out with TSReader and I'm getting major continuity errors. At first I thought it was just the high SR transponders but then I found it was all cband transponders. KU seems to work just fine. If I leave the dish in the same position and switch back to the Genpix, no problem (as long as the SR is under 30000).

Has anybody seen this before? The Twinhan has been acting a little flakey anyway, so I'm guessing it's probably a hardware issue but thought I'd ask.

Thanks,
Mike

Is it just your 102a or is it also on your 102g?

It's the 1020a, the 102g smoked itself several months ago.

My 102g has not had this problem with C-Band. Admittedly, I have only used it a couple of times, but it when it was used, I had absolutely no issues with it.

I didn't have any trouble with my 1020a last year either. I had several weekly timers recording programs in MT. After my 102g experience and now this, I'm not real sure how much I trust Twinhan products anymore. I may go with a Skystar on my next purchase.

Can you try it in another PC? Might be some PCI BUS issues since the Genpix is USB based.

I don't think it's a PCI issue because KU was working fine. I'll give it a shot though.

Thanks,
