Is it posible to use multiswitch with TBS6909???

Added by easy easy almost 6 years ago

Hello..
After lot of hours of trying I get stucked.
What I would like to do is next. I'm using multiswitcher (multishalter) like from a picture:

I connected tbs6909 with a multiswitch in next way:

Rec1 (switch) -> input0 (tbs6909)
Rec2 (switch) -> input1 (tbs6909)
Rec3 (switch) -> input2 (tbs6909)
Rec4 (switch) -> input3 (tbs6909)

Of course I connected the quattro head correctly, couse from Rec5 and Rec6 I tested on two receivers and every chanell is accesable.
I'm using HTS Tvheadend 4.2.7-17~g45cc65a with open drivers (date: v180822) and from manual it is not clear how I need to configure TVHeadend in this case.
As I understand from link: [[https://www.tbsiptv.com/download/tbs6909/tbs6909_user_guide.pdf]] I need to use the mode1 combination couse the mode0 explaining that from picture of manual I need to connect as I connecting quttro head. Am I true?

I did the /etc/modprobe.d/mxl58x.conf and put the options mxl58x mode=1 inside the file and did then reboot.
Now if I use as a simple universal configuration like from the pictures:




and scan of frequency always FAIL.

What I'm doing wrong?
The cables are OK, I have with simple receiver signal but on TBS6909 it always fail.
I tried other frequencies too and it is same.
Card is good couse if I put the cable from simple LNB in for example in Input0 of TBS6909 I can scan at least few transponders.

Every help will be apreciate.

Sorry for digging out an old topic, but have you managed to find a solution? Ive got same problem as you had, except im using TBS 6904 card. It kinda works when i set "universal LNB" in TVHeadend, without any switch, but only detects about half of muxes.

Hi, easy easy
Also digging out old topic.
Can you tell me if you have 1 or 2 Satelite positions(1 or 2 quattro LNBs)?
And do you use 6909 in mode0 or mode1?

Cause I have similar setup as you,(3 satelites in multiswitch, 4 cables from multiswitch to 6909 card) and i am using mode1.
Can you help me configure TVH with 6909x in mode0.
Reason for that is that in mode1, i can use ony 1 tuner for 1 physical input in TBS6909, i can watch 4 diferent transponders at the same time, but that card has 8 tuners, so i would like to congfigure it the way you did.
if you can help me

thank you

Tomislav
