How to add a new satellite to predefined muxes table

Added by Kaveh Ebadi over 8 years ago

How to add a new satellite to predefined muxes table? I need to scan two satellites (26E Badr 4/5/6) and (52.5E Yahsat) automatically. They are so familiar satellites in the Middle East. If I m not allowed would you please please please add them into the list.:P

Please Tvheadend team! Did you see my post?

Actually I m way new in linux os and openelec. I used to use dvbviewer on windows os and channel scanning was too easy. I don't know what to do in linux to scan for example "Yahsat" without using predefined muxes. I have RPi3 and openelec now. I couldn't follow instructions in https://github.com/tvheadend/dtv-scan-tables
Is it possible to help me step by step!

Do you know what the default transponders are for those satellites? They are the transponders that equipment from the service provider connect to when first turned on. If you know (or can find out) the default transponders you just need to set up two muxes, one for each, and TVHeadend will scan the default transponder for everything it needs to know.

We use Sky in the UK (from 28.2E) and the transponder/scan files for that satellite are months out of date (not TVH's fault, it's an external package) so I always configure TVHeadend with just the default transponder and let it determine the remaining transponders for itself.

...actually you might not even need the default transponder, just one valid transponder from each satellite should do.

I'm not familiar with either of those satellites but the principle should be the same as for Astra2 (Sky UK);

Make sure your cards are detected
Create a network for your DVB-S card(s) - only specify the network name, orbital position and set 'Network discovery' to 'New muxes + changed muxes'
Click 'Create'

Next add a single multiplex for each of your satellites (I've used Badr/26.2E as the example)
From the 'Muxes' tab click 'Add'
Select the network you just created
In the frequency field, enter 11996000
In the symbol rate field, enter 27500000
In the polarisation field enter H
In the FEC field enter 3/4
In the Modulation field enter QPSK
Leave everything else as is
Click on 'Save'

This should create a single transponder which will contain 'BBC Arabic' and several other channels. Leave TVHeadend long enough and it should automatically start to detect and scan for additional transponders adding the services it finds as it goes.

Same goes for 52.5E Yahsat;
From the 'Muxes' tab click 'Add'
Select the network you just created
In the frequency field, enter 11996000
In the symbol rate field, enter 27500000
In the polarisation field enter V
In the FEC field enter 5/6
In the Modulation field enter QPSK
Leave everything else as is
Click on 'Save'

Again one of the channels on this transponder should be 'BBC Arabic' and again TVHeadend should scan for additional transponders and their associated services.

Give this a go and see how you get on.

thank you Jonathan
I read your suggestion and will do everything you said, step by step undoubtedly.
But I was looking for a way to add those satellites into the list.
