Titel: A lot of blocks in picture when watching TV
Beitrag von: B3rt am Juni 14, 2016, 01:12:07 Nachmittag
I now have this stick in use for a few weeks but the picture is not good.

I use a xtrend ET 10000 tuner with 3x DVB-C, 1 DVB-S tuner and 1 sundtek DVB-S usb tuner, the ET10000 runs on the latest openatv image and sundtek driver from there reposotory

All build in tuners have perfect picture, also the build in DVB-S tuner!

But when i watch a channel using the Sundtek tuner the picture blocks a lot, sometimes half the picture is blocks for a few seconds and then normal again.
The blocks are the same as when there is very bad weatcher and the signal gets worse.

I allready switch the cable with the build-in tuner, this had no effect on the problem, build-in tuner has still no problem and the sundteck stick still is blocking.
Also reinstalled the ET10000 with a new image and new driver install, no effect.

How can i fix this, i expect that the picture quality should be good and stable, not constantly blocking.
Is there somewhere a (hidden) setting i should or can change to fix this?

Did you check the BER rate?
Does the pixelation occur only at the beginning or during the runtime?
Are you using the tuner with or without AC-Adapter?

There's absolutely no problem with those tuners, you might join the chatroom so someone might have a look at your system

What should the BER rate be?

The stick is connected on USB and also uses the AC adaptor to power it.

About the tuner settings, it is set in openatv to use the same settings as the plugin tuner (D), i did try to set it to it's own settings but this had no effect on the problem.


I have 4 LNB's (13,19,23 and 28) and the problem occurs on al 4 LNB's, doesnt' really matter which channel if it is encrypted or not.

The blocking occurs constantly, so during tuning in and also during watching.

At the moment i am not home, so i cannot check the exact settings and have no option for chat.
