8.1 Troubleshooting
Reliability and ease of use are important aspects of the
design of dLAN TV SAT. If, despite this, a problem
should ever occur, this chapter contains a few useful
hints intended to allow you to identify and remedy the
problem. Additionally, the website
www.devolo.com
contains a lot of satellite information for you. If you
need additional support, the "Preface" chapter at the
beginning of this manual tells you how to contact our
support department.
Can I also play back the recordings on a com-
puter?
Yes. Recordings from the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver
can also be played back on a computer. You will find
the recordings under DVR
ı RECS. Below this are fold-
ers (sorted by the programme's recording date) in
which there are Chunk files. In order for these Chunks
to be able to be played back, for example, by VLC Play-
er, they first have to be renamed as ".ts files".
Which DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Con-
trol) version is supported?
The dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver supports DiSEqC ver-
sions 1.0 and 1.1.
Can I use the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver even in a
multi-dwelling unit?
When the satellite signals from the
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver are transmitted via the
mains supply, power meters usually attenuate the sig-
nal transmission so much that transmission across the
meter is not possible—for example, from apartment to
apartment.
The typical installation in a multi-dwelling unit pro-
vides for a joint satellite system. Such a satellite system
is usually connected via an electric mains circuit with
its own power meter. There is no direct power connec-
tion into the apartment of the user (power meter for
"joint power" and power meter for apartment). Thus
satellite transmission of the
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver from the joint satellite sys-
tem into the apartment is often not possible.
Solution: You can use the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver
within the apartment. Simply connect the
dLAN TV SAT Multituner to an existing, available satel-
lite connection socket.
How many dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver can be
operated simultaneously in an electric mains cir-
cuit?
You can use up to 3 systems simultaneously.
