Tvheadend

What freq information are you using? Are you providing all of it or using AUTO?

I'm using the 292e stick for the Sandy Heath transmitter with no problems. These are my drivers:


-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Nov 21 19:39 dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2728 Jun 13 2014 dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2728 Jul 13 2014 dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw


Can you provide the md5sums and/or filesizes?

There are multiple versions of these drivers with the same name.

Unfortunately I don't remember where the files came from.

The b40 driver is the palosaari one.

Looks like your 02 and b40 are the same file.

Interesting that you do not have A30. My system does not like it when A30 is missing.

My understanding is b40 is the decoder and A30 is the tuner firmware.

I will try again tonight with your config.

Mark I am using the default tvheadend mixes for UK Crystal Palace they are not using auto.

I wonder if the manufacturer has changed the chipset without changing the part number? My stick was bought in 2014. Here is the dmesg log from a Raspberry Pi:

So going back to d8da7ff67cd56cd8aa4e101aea45e052 b40 restores my success on DVB-T muxes / channels.

But I still cannot get any DVB-T2 including PSB3.

PSB3 configured as follows:
