RasPi PCTV 460e no channels

Added by Hans Wurst over 10 years ago

Hi!

I now tried for about 2 days to get this bloody thing working.
I installed tvheadend as a package.
I also installed the firmeware for the dvbs stick. (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_DVB-S2_Stick_(460e))
When I open the webgui of tvheadend only one mux is shown in the stats and the logger always says:
  • diseqc setup failed -1*

I have a similar problem with PCTV 460e and 461e.
The tuners are detected but the firmware doesn't run.

dmesg (excerpt):

They work fine in Windows 7. Satellite uses Quattro-LNB and multi switch.
I had one of the tuners working with a raspberry - 6 months ago with another satellite system.
