Can only stream one channel at a time.
Added by Evan Hung over 9 years ago
Hi Guys
I have managed to installed Tvheadend with DVB-T 395UR (AF9013 CHIP), it's a very powerful software and it's working very well.
I only have one issue with it, that is I can't stream multiple channels to all the clients. It's working only if all clients are watching the same channel, as soon as any one of them switched channel the stream to others will be stopped.
Is there a way to fix this? do I need to change settings or upgrade my hardware?
Thanks
Evan

One mux/transponder per tuner, you need more tuners to be able to switch to a different mux/transponder as they can only receive one frequency at a time.
However Tvheadend should have no issue with viewing a different channel on the same mux provided the tuner is sending the full transport stream you can test this by playing the full mux in VLC and switching Programme (Playback -> Programmes in VLC) if this fails at all then your tuner isn't sending the full transport stream.
Funnily enough I have a AF9013 tuner lying around somewhere but I don't use it because mine kept dying after a number of tunes on linux so I haven't bothered with it since & I can't remember if it sends the full mux or not.

Yes, you're right, I can view different channels on the same mux at the same time, so I only need to buy some more tuners and setup them up with a splitter to cover all the channels. Thank you very much!
