1 | 1 | Hein Rigolo | = TVHeadend with Ziggo DVB-C How to = |
---|---|---|---|
2 | |||
3 | TV Headend supports all DVB types (DVB-T, DVB-S and DVB-C) so TVHeadend can also be used on the Ziggo DVB-C network. |
||
4 | |||
5 | 2 | Hein Rigolo | == Initial setup == |
6 | Because Ziggo is using the NIT-Others tables to provide the actual frequencies of the transponders you can not use the autodetect muxes option of TVheadend. |
||
7 | 1 | Hein Rigolo | |
8 | 2 | Hein Rigolo | There are 2 options to add the transponders: |
9 | |||
10 | === manually add the various muxes === |
||
11 | First disable the autodetection of muxes because we add them manually. |
||
12 | 1 | Hein Rigolo | In order to manually add a Mux you need to provide the following details: |
13 | |||
14 | * Frequency (kHz): |
||
15 | * Symbolrate (baud): 6875000 |
||
16 | * Constellation: QAM-64 |
||
17 | * FEC: NONE |
||
18 | |||
19 | The correct frequencies for your specific Ziggo network can be found on the Digitale Kabeltelevisie website: |
||
20 | |||
21 | * For Ziggo/@HOME you can find the details here: http://www.digitalekabeltelevisie.nl/techniek/tvhome.shtml |
||
22 | * For Ziggo/Casema you can find the details here: http://www.digitalekabeltelevisie.nl/techniek/casema_multikabel.shtml |
||
23 | |||
24 | So you need to add those 27 frequencies one after the other. The details from the previous mux stay on the screen so you only need to change the frequency. |
||
25 | |||
26 | 2 | Hein Rigolo | Once you are done entering all the details you will notice that TVHeadend will have found all the available services on the Ziggo network already. |
27 | |||
28 | === Apply a patch to the tvheadend source code === |
||
29 | You can also apply the patch that is attached to ticket #123 (http://trac.lonelycoder.com/hts/ticket/123) to your tvheadend source code and then recompile tvheadend. |
||
30 | Make sure to change the required network ID in that patch to your network ID. |
||
31 | |||
32 | == Further steps == |
||
33 | |||
34 | In order to actually record the Ziggo services you need to press the "Map DVB Services to channels" button. |
||
35 | 1 | Hein Rigolo | |
36 | TVHeadend will then try to see what services are actual channels and will map the service to a channel. Because most Ziggo services are encrypted it will only map the FTA channels. |
||
37 | |||
38 | In order to watch the encrypted channels you need to have a NewCS cardserver available within your own local network. You can then add that server as a Code Word Client on the configuration page. |
||
39 | |||
40 | If you now press the "Map DVB Services to channels" button you will see that it will also map the encrypted services to channels. |
||
41 | |||
42 | == Known Issues == |
||
43 | * TVHeadend does not support the NIT-Other tables so automatic Mux detection does not work |
||
44 | * Not all encrypted services are correctly mapped to a channel (some are successfull, others fail) |
