New to tvheadend .. no DVB-S signals received?

Added by George Poulson almost 13 years ago

Hi!

I'm new to tvheadend having spent some time already with mythtv and kaffeine :-)

I have a Tevii S480 DVB-S2 card (which is effectively two S660 USB receivers on an internal PCI-e card). I have the firmware correctly loading and the card works fine in Myth and in Kaffeine.

When I start tvheadend and look at the web interface I can see two receivers "Montage Technology DS3000/TS2020"

Regardless of whether I add a whole bunch of multiplexes from the 'General' tab (I'm in the UK and receive Astra 19.2E / 28.2E with a fixed dish and a single 4-output LNB) or whether I add just a single multiplex (the details I use to tune Myth are DVB-S | 10714000 | Horiz | 22000000 | 5/6 | QPSK ) the 'Quality' bar starts at 100% and gradually drops to zero. Frontend status starts at 'Unknown' and switches to 'No signal'

In the web interface with debug logging enabled I see this:

Jan 24 16:11:18 dvb: "/dev/dvb/adapter0" tuning via s2api to "10,714,000 kHz Horizontal (Default)" (964000, 22000000 Baud, 5/6, SYS_DVBS, QPSK)
Jan 24 16:11:23 dvb: "10,714,000 kHz Horizontal (Default)" on adapter "Montage Technology DS3000/TS2020", status changed to No signal

I've tried changing the 'satconf' values but nothing seems to help!

Any clues as to where I should look next? As I say the card works 100% in Kaffeine and in Mythtv.

Thanks in anticipation!
George

Sorry for replying to my own post but for some bizarre reason this is now working.

Rather than choosing "5/6" as the FEC value when manually adding the first multiplex, I (accidentally!) set it as 'Auto' and everything sprang into life :-)

So now I have loads of channels and I just need to find some time to get XMLTV set up and working.

Thanks to the developer(s) for what looks like a superb piece of software.

I've got a Tevii s660 card and I have the same problem.
No signal on everything and no services shows up.

I tried your hint but no difference.

Works with kaffeine.
