I seem to be getting a lot them with tvheadend 2.11 even though my signal is 100%
Hi Moontan77 !
I tried several dvb and dvb-s2 cards including Technisat Skystar 1, Skystar USB, Skystar HD, Skystar HD2, Hauppage WinTV Nova S2, Fire DTV S2
Some had these continuity errors, some doesn't. I always used the same dish. So it is NOT a signal quality problem.
The best working card i had tested is the Hauppage card:

No errors whatsoever. Fast channel switch, HD programs work like charm. I can really recommend THIS card.
I had the continuity errors with Skystar 2HD. I had some other errors with FireDTV S2:

So if you want perfect DVB-S2 HD reception go for the Hauppage. You only need a recent kernel (lucid is perfect) and a firmware file copied into /etc/lib/. I can help with that.
Cheers,
Alan
