tvheadend and diseq 1.2 motor setup
Added by Trex the Daemon almost 9 years ago
Hello,
I have a couple of years behind since I own satellite dishes, so I am familiar with the stbs, enigma2 and linux.
Recently I've bought a DVBSky S960 tuner to hook it up to the raspberry, as I want to replace my enigma2 receiver with an all-in-one media center.
I've followed numerous turorials regarding tvheadend setup, managed to get it working, but I don't know how to set up a motorized dish, that has the positions stored (so no USALS).
The setup is simple. I have a LNB (with 2 outputs, but the other one goes into another room to a dm800), is going to a strong motor diseq 1.2 positioner (like this one: http://www.mondoplast.ro/eng/Positioner-Strong-SRT-V50-pg_ft-856) and then to the dvbsky card.
What i don't know and didn't find info about is what shall I selct in the 'TV Adapters' section ?
I've set the LNB type to Universal, switch type to 'none' (as I don't have switches) and at the rotor type I have 'none', 'USALS' or 'GOTOx'. Now here I'm stuck, as on STBs normally I select diseq 1.2 and set USALS to 'no' and then I can enter the motor position, which was previously stored in the positioner.
Could you help me out with the setup ?
Thanks in advance!
Well, I finally managed to configure it, and now it's also rotating the dish.
For anybody who's interested, this is how i've done it:
In the webif, in Configuration -> Tv Adapters you select the Satconfig parameter to Advanced, non unveiversal, rotors, etc
Afterwards you click on the newly created list, Advanced, and there you can select from the Orbital Positions the number of satellites you wish to configure.
Afterwards you click on the newly created item, and there you select the network, set the LNB type to Universal and then you select the rotor type to GOTOXX.
A new item will be added to the list, clicking on it you can set the* GOTOXX position* to whatever position you have saved in the positioner for that particular satellite.
Repeat the procedure for each of the 'orbital positions' you have selected previously.
