scan for muxes and add channels

Hello,

Can someone please tell me how do I add muxes on DVB-C if:
1. my location doesn't exist in "Add DVB network by location", and
2. I do not know and cannot find the details to add them manually

Using:
debian 7.6, 3.2.0-4-686-pae, x86
tvheadend: version 3.4.27~gfbda802~wheezy
Sundtek MediaTV Pro III - latest driver

w_scan isn't working, it starts scanning and after a while it says:

842000: (time: 03:53)
850000: (time: 03:58)
858000: (time: 04:02)

ERROR: Sorry - i couldn't get any working frequency/transponder

I assume that you have to get w_scan to work first. If this does not find anything, then tvheadend won't be able to find anything also. HAve you checked with Sundtek? I heard their support is very good.

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for replying. After much trial and error I figured I wasn't using the correct QAM with w_scan.
After I changed to QAM_256 it worked.

Also an important info shared by Sundtek Support (thanks to them for being responsive!) is if you add one MUX in TVHeadend, it will automatically detect the others if the information you put in is correct - although note that it may miss some MUXes.

For Romania, QAM_256, DVB-C. UPC provider:

w_scan -t 3 -F -Q 1 -e 1 -f c -c RO -x

C 874000000 6900000 NONE   QAM256
C         0       0  7/8    QAM16

After I added the frequencies which were missing in TVHeadend and cleared the ones which were inactive, I finally got it working.
