Bug #4368
DVBSky S952 can't find any muxes (scan no data, failed)
100%
Description
Hey everyone,
I've had a few issues with this card. Yesterday I could only get diseqc port 2 to work, today it doesn't do anything anymore. No signal is getting out.
When I scan a mux, I get this message over and over again:

I'm at my wits end, I've been messing around with this card for the past 6 hours. I even replaced it with an identical twin card (I had two) but no luck (so the card itself isn't the culprit, the tvheadend must have some issue with the driver or so)
I'm running 4.3-59~gc7eac514d now, but the same issue was present with the release version.
Does anyone know what's going wrong?

Updated by Most of these issues are related to a wrong diseqc setup (hardware) or a bad driver. If you can, verify the coax input using another device / receiver (set-top-box), then you may try to set the workaround parameters like "Tune before DiseqC", "DiseqC repeats", "Full DiseqC" etc.... If nothing works, try the utilities from dvb-apps package (dvbscan / szap etc.).
Updated by Jaroslav Kysela over 7 years ago
Also, try to "link" both tuners together - look for "Linked input" and the description. I made this specially for S952 crappy drivers.

Ok, so link Tuner1 to Tuner2 and then Tuner2 to Tuner1, too?
I did that, but I get this error:
[ERROR] mpegts: Tuner2 - Tuner1 - linked input cannot be started (All: 0)
Btw: I did try without a diseqc switch, but still nothing :/

I use DVBSKy S952 from two years and more and work good, but how they say use other drivers or install new kernel in every new kernel have drivers for DVBSKy S952 not needed to compile.
But if want also can install this drivers: https://github.com/crazycat69/linux_media here work like a charm.
Also how @Jaroslav Kysela say enable Tune before DiseqC and Full DiseqC both enable in adapter setting here work nice.

Also update your firmware to firmware version: 4.1 your is firmware version: 3.B
I use V3 of S952. Dont know what version is your card.

I tried this both on Ubuntu 16.10 and 17.04 (linux 4.10), so the drivers are already available to me.
Where can I find firmware version 4.1? Everything I find seems to be 3.B.
Updated by Jelle De Loecker over 7 years ago
Note: I do not have the V3 version of the card. It's really just DVBSky S952, so I guess there is no newer firmware for this card.

Thank you, but there is nothing to try. You have the DVBSky S952 V3 card, I do not. I have the original card. It needs a dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw firmware file.

Here is another diseqc quirk.
I have clearly connected my networks to their diseqc ports, like so:
And yet Astra 3 is the same as Astra 1 when I do a scan. As you can see in the next screenshot: the exact same services are visible on Astra 3 as on Astra 1.
And yes, the cables have been connected correctly.

I would check the DiseqC setup using another device. Also try to increase 'DiseqC repeats'. If you like to debug the DiseqC commands send to your equipment through the coax cable, you may use '--trace linuxdvb,diseqc' trace logs - https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Traces .

Updated by Good evening,I also own a DvbSky s952 and it is working very well but I have got the 3rd revision. Before buying it I had a talk with archlinux's packager of dvbsky modules and I've discovered this: Yes the driver is present in kernel mainline BUT for s952 revision < 3 does not work. It's not a firmware problem. You have to patch and recompile some module have a look at this https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/media-build-dvbsky/ you can look at my post and the response of mediabuild maintainer. You should also find patches by cloning that PKGBUILD ... Hope this helps...
