Feature #4075
Add DVB-S2X Support
0%
Description
Hi,
i just added a TBS6522 tuner card which is capable of tuning to DVB-S2X transponders. This requires new types of mudulation, rolloff and FEC values, but is essentially the same DVB-S2 standard. Can this be added withiut much hassle? I'd be willing to grant developer access to the box with the tuner card.
Current test Transponder is:
ASTRA Astra 1M 19.2° E 23 11553 H SR: 25500, FEC:11/20 (S2X - QPSK)

Updated by I am afraid, but it seems that S2X is not supported in the linux dvbapi.

Since TBS maintains their own media tree for their opensource driver ( https://github.com/tbsdtv/ ) I was under the impression that one would include a DVB-S2X patch for the dvb-api. On looking closer at this i think i was wrong there. Sorry to bother you.

Some STB come with tuners with support new standard
OCTAGON SF4008 for example

I can only speak for the TBS6522 tuner i have in my box. If you use the modified media tree that works with this card, TVHeadend can use DVB-S2X Transponders if you set the parameters to 'DVB-S2' and modulation, FEC and so on to 'auto'. TVHeadend does not support the actual values (neither does DVB-API in Linux), but the autodetect of the driver works fine.
