Telestar Digibit R1 satellite IP network Transmitter (SD / HD, Wi-Fi) (Electronics)

Customer Review

I bought the device to mainly over the network on a laptop to TV.

The key figures were very promising, play streaming over the network to any enabled device, through DLNA or other protocols ... up to 4 parallel streams, etc .... blah blah blah ... I do not want now to product description again.
In theory, it has rule of thumb also works. The picture was beautiful, but unfortunately there were 2 big problems!
And I wanted but only the minimum use of a single stream ...
1!
repeatedly stream dropouts when, and indeed every few minutes ... that was not really nice and has spoiled everything ...
First, the stream ran well for a few minutes, then a misfire, and there were about 30sec pictures and sound have shown repeatedly, then asynchronously Tonn and image, and then couple of seconds the stream protruded and again normal stream. This has been repeated constantly.
Initially I had my network or reproducing apparatus / software suspected and much rumgewurstelt ... and tried out everything possible, there were many potential sources of error ... WLAN bottleneck, unable to prioritize router properly, cable length for LNB too long, use unsuitable DiSEqC at SAT dish, Win8 operating system or Intel wireless hardware or drivers on the laptop, block irish firewall or antivirus program or delay the stream .... playback software unsuitable (VLC and other media players), etc ... or just this device misconfigured in the surface or it is defect .... Very much to investigate and examine
2!
The unit has just hung up after about one week of operation and was frozen, no streaming, no reactions to connection attempts on the network. Solution (for a week operation, until the next occurrence) brought only restart, or off and on again.

Everything has failed, pure frustration, I wanted to give at the beginning of any review because I was not sure what the error is. Then give a bad review because the device obviously not worked as promised ...

Well, there were 2015 new firmware (firmware version: V1.16.0.120), and suddenly everything is going for me 1A without which I something changed in configuration. No dropouts, no freezing after one week. WOW! Now the thing is finally usable.

I take it this way, and it works well for the firmware update:
On the device a satellite cable is connected that leads to my satellite system, there are several LNB are aimed at different satellites via a DiSEqC with this cable. The device itself is then connected to a LAN cable to the wireless router.
On the laptop on which I look running Windows 8 and it has an Intel wireless card, with the Videolan VLC player, in the player's settings Settings is in the general streaming set the streams have high latency.
Despite parallel many other devices and Internet usage in wireless, firewall and antivirus software on the laptop is running very well since Firmware Update 2015 nothing to complain about.
In VLC Player I open a playlist of all my channels I've culled from the Internet. The automatically generated list of the device's bad for me, because there are only a few TV channels there and it runs over a protocol with which I not so good at the address of the different transmitters and single LNB coped in the configuration.
Here is an example of how it can channel list in .m3u file look through some sample stations.

Just as simple as a text a .m3u playlist file inside is there ...
Here comes the first IP of the device on the local network.
Then the "Fe", it identifies the SAT used port on the device, I use the 2 of the 4 existing and therefore there is the number 2, normally would be number 1 if it hangs at the first terminal, there is no particular reason why it in me the second terminal is ... I once had it connected with troubleshooting at 2 and not reconnected it since ... in theory are supposed to all 4 ports for example 4 different cable to LNB's and therefore paralelle streams that can be used when I the ability of the device understand correctly (I have not tested not because my scenario).
Then comes "src" with a number, I hereby speak one of the LNB's on the same cable DiSEqC hang with me through, if only one LNB is connected without DiSEqC should be always 1, of course, for me it is 3 (Astra, Hotbird, Syrius) different LNB DiSEqC hanging on the same cable behind. Which number Which LNB corresponds depends on the inputs of the DiSEqC from, but is not hard to find as there are only a few connections can be through taste if necessary, is indeed nothing broken but only gives a picture .... for example the transmitter at the other LNB are with me:

The rest of the values ​​that must be specified to the transmitter, can be found on the Internet in various satellite and channel lists. If any value is incorrect, the transmitter does not appear, especially in HD channels have to be careful because there the PIDS values ​​are sometimes pretty funny. It must not be exactly 4 PIDS figures generally, sometimes there are eg. 5 ...
That it was grossly ... since Firmware Update 2015 no more problems ... finally I have to look no further.

A stream to SD channels takes approximately ca 3-4mbit the internal download bandwidth, I usually use SD channels because the load faster when you zap and do not consume so much bandwidth stream in Wi-Fi, HD TV channels can sometimes need well over 7MBit, in parallel many devices in the same Wi-Fi and lots of Internet traffic can HD before the network burden too.

I hope I could help was a long Leidensodyssee ... But that ends well ... All good
