Dear All,

I have an Inverto iLNB 8 channel SAT>IP LNB with PoE Adapter ([[http://www.inverto.tv/products/product.php?id=264]]) which I would like to use with tvheadend on an Ubuntu 14.04LTS server and some clients, e.g. CuBox-i2eX ([[http://www.solid-run.com/products/cubox-i-mini-computer/cubox-i-specifications/]]) running openelec / kodi.

The iLNB is running, I can watch over PC with DVBViewer lite or iPad / elgato SAT>IP app.

I wanted to use Tvheadend for central recording on the server, but can't get it running (details below).

I was looking for a detailed tutorial getting the iLNB running under tvheadend, but it seems that I'm missing something.

Therefore I want to come up with a detailed one, same time asking for help. Any input from you will be added in this tutorial.

Thanks to:
[[https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/13486]]
and others I copied.

My iLNB firmware version: V1.20.0.71 (I don't know if there is a newer one, found none)

1. Installation of tvheadend on ubuntu 14.04LTS¶

There are good guides on the internet:
[[https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/11696]]
[[http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Tvheadend]]
Be aware, you have to use tvheadend unstable!

For reference (on the server):
sudo apt-add-repository -r http://ppa.launchpad.net/adamsutton/tvheadend
sudo apt install curl
curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tvheadend

My current version: HTS Tvheadend 3.9.2780~gb609513~trusty

2. Configure Tvheadend¶

Access the Tvheadend webinterface via: server-ip:9981
and login with your username & pw, set while installation of Tvheadend on the server (you can reconfigure on the server with sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend).

Select tab 'Configuration' (pictures will follow)

1st tab / General¶

I just set the default language.

3rd tab / DVB Inputs¶

2nd tab / Networks¶

Add a network:
- Add
- select DVB-S
- set name
- Skip Initial Scan: deselect
- set Orbital Position
=> create

1st tab / TV adapters¶

After some time Tvheadend shall recognize the iLNB, showing eith tuners with one position each.

Click on the IPLNB-03xxx:SAT>IP - network address, and set the Parameter to:
- Force pilot for DVB-S2: selected

For each Tuner, you have to:
- Enabled: selected
- Initial Scan: selected
- Idle Scan

For each position (1ea under each tuner), you have to:
- Enabled: selected
- set Networks (to the one just created)

The problem I now have is that no muxes are showing up.

What I did then:
tab Debugging
set Debug to syslog

On the server I get the following messages:
May 8 20:20:51 media-server tvheadend[1151]: subscription: 0FE0: "scan" subscribing to mux "12551.5V", weight: 2, adapter: "SAT>IP DVB-S Tuner #1 (192.168.1.22)", network: "Astra19.2E", service: "Raw PID Subscription"

May 8 20:21:01 media-server tvheadend[1151]: subscription: 0FE0: "scan" unsubscribing


What am I doing wrong?

Thx for any help in advance.

Hope this will help also others setting up this nice piece of software & hardware!

Regards
