Anyone from DMM care to respond??? or is there a place I can open a fault request about this.

Hello

In New Zealand for the DVB-T terrestrial FTA Broadcasts the government has decided to use the latest audio and video compression. They use MPEG4 H.264 Video, and HE-AAC LATM Audio compression.

I have had a friend try pre-recorded TS files on his new DM800 before I purchased one, and it seems that there isn't support for the Audio Compression format from within the DM800 firmware or drivers.

You can view example recordings (which is what my friend also tested) from here:

The TV3 is the best sample to test against as it is being broadcast in 1080i, also worth testing the TVONE and TVNZ7 as well for the 720p.

But the picture is not an issue since the DM happily plays the video, just no sound.

Is there an expected time that support for HE-AAC audio will be added into the drivers or firmware?

Please provide some information about the hard- and software used.

I have found it quite easy to crash my DM600PVR while watching recorded movies.

If I watch a record TS, then fastforward in the TS file, if I accidentally hit the left or right arrow keys to go to the next / previous TS/Movie file the 600 crashes and the only way to get the box back is to do a hard reboot.

On another forum I was told this is a known bug in the DMM driver, just wanted to know if there is a bug logged and when / if it will get fixed?

I found the problem and yes it is a bug in the frontend of the blindscan module, I am going to re-write the frontend when I have some time <ha!> and submit it to get the fix included.

The work-around was to add two LOF/L TP into the satellites.xml ie a TP on 10000 vertical and horizontal and then the blindscan worked.

It seems that the frontend code from reviewing it checks the satellites.xml / list of transponders to see if it has a valid list of frequencies.. which IMHO is not the right approach as the list of TP's in the satellites.xml shouldn't matter at all.

I think you will find, if you go into your LNB setup, and have a non-universal LNB configured on the satellite (yes I know cable isn't supported for blindscan) then you will see the 600 error with the same error I am seeing.

From conversations on another site it seems that the front end for the Blindscan is open source, however the backend isn't. And the backend only supports KU Universal LNB's, and not using the LNB configuration out of the Satellite configuration.

If DMM could open source the backend then I would happily fix the problem myself if I could examine the code, otherwise it would be preferable if the blindscan could support all different LNB configs such as:

L=10750
H=10750
T=11700

L=11300
H=11300
T=11700

L=05150
H=05150
T=00000

These are commonly used configs outside of europe.

If anyone can point me in the direction of the source then I would happily look at it and offer a patch up. Otherwise it seems quite pointless to have a Blindscan tuner, yet only support one LNB option.

Please provide some information about the hard- and software used.

I am trying Blindscanning on my DM600 using the stock DMM firmware supplied with the box, plus other third party images.

It seems that Blindscanning is not supported on non-universal LNB's. If I have my LNB correctly configured as it is only a High frequency LNB with a LO of 10750, so in my LNB settings I enter LOF/L = 10750, LOF/H=10750 Threshold = 11700.

If I then try and do a blindscan I get an error about my LOF/L. If I change back to a universal LNB then blindscan I don't get that error, however because I don't have a universal LNB it doesn't find anything.

The same appies to a CBand LNB I have, I don't have the standard KU Universal LNB settings so it doesn't work.

Is this because it hasn't been tried before or working as designed?

Cool... thank you so much for that, time to get a DM600 + DVB-C tuner....

I am interested in either buying a DM600 or a DM7025, it from reading it seems that the DM600 has "swapable" tuners like the DM7025 has, is this the case or not??? It should be a case of buying both tuners, and opening the box up and swapping between them (for the DM600) or having one of each (for the dm7025) if I want to be able to Recieve either Satellite or Cable transmissions. If not I will buy a DM7025 as I want to be able to use Cable at home, and a Satellite tuner when at my holiday home.
