I really haven't found anything in the wiki and on the forum, help would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't see any failed messages there..

Sorry, posted the wrong logfile-part. There you go:

Changing the frequency of the mux as stated by one of the available TV station (ATV HD in Austria) to 11244000Hz didn't change a thing:

A thing that I really don't understand is that TVH only adds one Mux if I add a pre-defined network network 19.2 E Astra. Shouldn't there be more available?

add this mux in manually

"frequency": 11953500,
"symbol_rate": 27500000,
"fec": "3/4",
"polarisation": "Horizontal",
"modulation": "QPSK",
"delivery_system": "SYS_DVBS",

Thank you, I will try asap. But just for understanding: shouldn't s network contain more than one mux?

the dvb-scan files included are old and outdated in tvheadend and they have not been updated in a long time. to update them takes a lot of time and it is quicker to use the auto discovery and adding in a mux and hoping the sat gives you all of them.

I have a motorised dish so have had to add in quite a lot of missing muxes and some of the sats don't broadcast there other muxes so I have had to add a whole sat by hand before.

Ok, I edited the predefined mux as you posted, still no difference.

Thanks for your help Gary!

can you try this one?

"frequency": 10817500,
"symbol_rate": 22000000,
"fec": "2/3",
"polarisation": "Vertical",
"modulation": "PSK/8",
"delivery_system": "DVB-S2"

if this doesn't work can you post more about your setup and location i.e. if you have a single lnb/motor/multi-lnb diseqc.
does dmesg say anything about the card failing?
have you checked the dish is properly aligned?
can you check it can tune in windows?

Still, no luck.

About the setup itself, I live in an apartment where the whole building has a shared DVB-S/S2 system that has been installed by somebody else, I can give you more information about it tomorrow. I don't have access to a Windows device right now, all I can do is try to get some details out of a DVB-S2 set-top box. My location is Austria.

Could this maybe be a driver issue? Since the official driver from TBS didn't work - the module just didn't load at system boot - I tried the one from CrazyCat. dmesg didn't show any errors during the scan process.

Ok, I finally got some more info from the neighbors DVB receiver: he uses the following setup:

19.2 Astra
10744H
22000
5/6
LNB voltage: 13/14V
LNB type: 9750/10600
22kHz Auto
Diseqc enabled

Added the mux, heres the output. I'm really lost here, it can't be that hard to get a DVB-S system to work!
