Tvheadend

More info...

When I stop Tvheadend and do this "cat /dev/vide0 >/tmp/foo.mpg" it works. My enum_val file narrows to television and the foo.mpg file shows video. As soon as I start Tvheadend the enum_val goes back to DTV.

I think this confirms that Tvheadend is locking the tuner on DTV.

Is there a command I can put somewhere to tell Tvheadend to ignore the DVB tuner? Or maybe tell it to only use the "television" input?

Any help will be very appreciated.

You can specify which dvb adapter tvheadend should use when starting by using the -a parameter. That might help you.

Thank you for your help Hein.

I don't think I'm understanding how to properly use the parameter. I have tried the following...

sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start -a
sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend -a start
sudo -a /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

As I said my knowledge is pretty limited but I am learning.

Thanks...

Well, I think I found what you are talking about.

In "/etc/init.d/tvheadend" I changed DAEMON_ARGS="-f -u hts -g video" to DAEMON_ARGS="-f -u hts -g video -a 0"

I tried 1, 2 ,3 restarting Tvheadend after every change. 0 was the only choice that would show anything in the adapter drop down menu. Unfortunately it was still the Samsung S5H1411 tuner. I also checked the enum_val file. On adapter 0 it had narrowed to DTV. On 1 2 3 it did not narrow and had television, dtv, composite, s-video.

I'm still trying to figure this out. Can't say I've made anymore progress. Is there anyone that has an HVR-1950 working with analog on TVheadend?
