[fixed] Issues with DiseqC on TVH 3.9
Added by David Rickard over 10 years ago
Hi,
I'm running TVHeadend 3.9.967~gd924c84, compiled from git last night, I was previously running a git version from a couple of weeks back. My box has two cards in it (Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1300 and Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2). I'm running it all on Debian Wheezy 7.5, 64-bit.
My DVB-T card is attached to a TV aerial and quite happily tunes its network. The DVB-S card, however, is having issues. It's attached to a dish with a Monoblock on it, and is aimed at Hotbird 13E and Astra 19.2E. The monoblock is a dual monoblock which also runs to an STB, and that proves both LNBs in the monoblock are working and receiving signal at ~84%. When TV headend tunes, no matter what I do, I end up with Hotbird. I've set the LNB to both 2-port and 4-port. Hotbird is on switchport 0, and Astra is on port 1. Yet no matter what I do, I cannot get TVHeadend to tune it. When it tries, I get this:
2014-06-29 16:14:01.352 [ INFO] mpegts: 12551V - tuning on Conexant CX24116/CX24118 : DVB-S #0 2014-06-29 16:14:02.044 [ DEBUG] linuxdvb: Conexant CX24116/CX24118 : DVB-S #0 - starting 12551V 2014-06-29 16:14:02.044 [ DEBUG] mpegts: 12551V - started 2014-06-29 16:14:02.044 [ DEBUG] mpegts: 12551V - open PID 0039 (57) [2/0xaf8c10] 2014-06-29 16:14:02.044 [ DEBUG] viasat_baltic: installed table handlers 2014-06-29 16:14:02.044 [ DEBUG] mpegts: 12551V - open PID 0BBA (3002) [2/0xaf17c0] 2014-06-29 16:14:02.044 [ DEBUG] mpegts: 12551V - open PID 0BBB (3003) [2/0xafc730] 2014-06-29 16:14:02.044 [ DEBUG] uk_freesat: installed table handlers 2014-06-29 16:14:02.044 [ DEBUG] mpegts: 12551V - open PID 0012 (18) [3/0x1189770] 2014-06-29 16:14:02.044 [ DEBUG] eit: installed table handlers 2014-06-29 16:14:02.045 [ INFO] subscription: 'scan' subscribing to mux, weight: 5, adapter: 'Conexant CX24116/CX24118 : DVB-S #0', network: 'Astra 19.2E', mux: '12551V' 2014-06-29 16:14:02.881 [ DEBUG] linuxdvb: Conexant CX24116/CX24118 : DVB-S #0 - status UNKNOWN (SIGNAL) 2014-06-29 16:14:02.982 [ DEBUG] linuxdvb: Conexant CX24116/CX24118 : DVB-S #0 - status BAD (SIGNAL | CARRIER)
This is wrong, however; w_scan will quite happily scan this satellite with the following command line: w_scan -fs -sS19E2 -o 7 -D1c. The resultant file it spits out contains Astra 19.2E services. So to my mind the card, cable, satellite, and everything else are OK, it just seems TVHeadend is having trouble sending the DiseqC commands properly, and hence failing to find anything. Changing the repeats doesn't make any difference. I'd assume I'd see an event in the debug saying it was sending a DiseqC command, but I don't know for certain.
Any help gratefully received!
Thanks in advance

try compiling the latest master version. there has been a couple of fixes today that may solve the problem. if not try using advanced and choose 2 orbital positions. in each set the switch to generic and config what you need in there. i'm guessing you'd need to choose the committed switch as AA for Hotbird and AB for Astra.

Well that fixed it! Immediately found a truckload of Muxes.
Thanks.
