NZ Optus D1 LNB Settings

Added by John Andrews almost 13 years ago

Hi,

I'm having trouble detecting all the Sky channels for NZ. In Windows using NextPVR and For the record, and I had to manually set my LNB settings to
Low: 10750000
Hi: 10750000
LNB Switch Freq: 10750000

Then I was able to pickup every channel. But I don't know how to do this in TVHeadEnd. I was also able to do this in MythTV, but would rather use TVHeadEnd as seems easier for most things (decryption was a breeze).

I can't seem to get any of the DVB-S2 muxes to work, but I believe this is due to the LNB settings.

Anyway I can set these?

TIA

Managed to download source from github and alter "Standard" to 10750000, 10750000, 10750000 and compiled. Once that was done, I was able to tune in all the channels correctly.

Could you please add support for custom LNB settings?

TIA

if you were able to change these settings in the code, could you maybe create a patch that would allow these changes to be set via the GUI?
Any help with improving tvheadend is always appreciated.

i can have a go, would have to make a gui for the settings and then store those settings in a configuration file for each LNB and each device.

any tips/pointers? not 100% sure how the code is structured and how the gui is generated. had a quick look seems mostly js files, couldnt see much in the lines of html. im a c# programmer/webdev by trade so js doesnt bother me, just dont want to implement it completely different than the rest of the code.

the webgui is generated via the extjs framework and all settings are stored in json formatted files. And the rest of tvheadend is written in C

to look at an example where some webgui elements where added have a look at revision 630b40d5
http://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/projects/tvheadend/repository/revisions/630b40d5908d0f6326d8b55780a5f074384d77ee

Here the support for disabling the EIT scan per service was added to the webgui, with the links to the functions in the code it self.

Hope this can give you some idea of what is needed to add things to the webgui.

Good Luck,

Hein

I also have tried to configure TVHeadend to talk to the Optus D1 satalite.
I confirmed my LNB is running on 10750000 made the changes in the dvb_satconf.c file and recompiled, however it is coming back with "No Signal"

Hardware is Sundtek SkyTV Ultimate III (USB 2.0)

Adding network by location appears buggy at the moment as the muxes get added with no satellite config... you need to add the manually after configuring the LNB settings. However when scanned they come back with " No Signal"

Any ideas what i've done wrong.
