Newbie needs help. No scans, no channels. What is wrong?
Added by Müfit Eribol over 1 year ago
Hello,
I am living in a residential complex with DVB-C type private TV broadcast.
Installed dual tuner TBS6522 (2x T/C, 2xS) PCIe card in Unraid machine. Drivers loaded. /dev/dvb is available. Connected the TV cable from divider switch to one of the tuners (DVB-C type).
Created a network DVB-C type and defined the network in the tuner's properties. As there is no predefined muxer for me (it is a private broadcast), I created a mux with DVB-C type. I cannot progress any further than this. The scan status is "PEND", and scan result "FAIL".
Surely, I am doing something wrong. Perhaps my configuration has some missing parameters. Relevant screenshots are attached.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

In Networks Section what are your settings. Did you restart TVH after you configured the Mux.

Thank you for your support.
Restarted TVH, but it is still IDLE and FAIL.
Could it be 0 entry in Frequency and Symbol rate in Mux?

There’s nothing for the scan to scan so it returns nothing. If you don’t have a frequency for TVH to scan you’ll probably need go the Sat IP or even IPTV.
Have you been able to play the content of your broadcast through VLC or something similar. Possibly find out what distribution system is used to relay your broadcast through and take it from there.
With the broadcast cable is connected up to your TBS card is TVH reporting any sort of tuner connected. Are you connected to the internet.

you can use a different tool to scan:
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/W_scan
install:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install w-scan
Make sure you turn off tvh first:
sudo systemctl stop tvheadend
After that scan using w_scan (I use for DVB-C):
w_scan -X -f c -c <YOUR_COUNTRY_TWO_LETTER_CODE> -Q 0 -S 0 -F
replace <YOUR_COUNTRY_TWO_LETTER_CODE> with US, CA, .... two letters for your country.
Will take 20 min+ to scan all frequencies ... in the end you will get a nice report with all channels found, freq. and settings.
