TeVii S470 in mythtv - diseqc problems
Hello Guys,
Just installed a S470 into my mythbox , fedora 12 kernel 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686.PAE . Myth is .23 the most recent fedora package , the drivers for dvb card I have at the moment were pulled in 2010-04-01 . I assume they are pretty current . The problem that I have is as follows :
Most of my viewing is done on a Satellite connected to diseqc port 2 , and myth tunes into that with no probs at all , but occasionally I try to watch a channel that is on a second satellite - port 1 and here things fail . Myth tries to tune into the channel - then times out with error , during this the dvb driver crashes , and when I try to retune again with myth there is no lock on either satellite . So I need to restart pc , then everything comes back on port 2 and myth is able to tune again channels within that first satellite . Any one else experienced diseqc issues with this card and myth ?
Second question what is the tool of choice to use to scan dvbs2 satellites ? I tried dvbscan but it only picked up dvbs transponders , on dvbs2 it failed to tune . I saw that there used to be this utillity scan-s2 , but looks like it was abandoned a couple of years ago and has not been maintained since . So how do you guys do a transponder scan for dvbs2 ?
Best Regards
Milorad

I had the same issue, I have a combination of Hauppauge and Tevii card. The problems arrise when the order of loading of the cards differ from the order of card installed in MythTV. I have added module options to get the modules to use the same /dev/dvb device on boot.
Hope this helps for you,
Hans

Hello Hans,
Much thanks for your advice . I have done that options setting and it helped with my other issues . I have just worked out this problem . It was connected with the changing of the DVBS card that I used for years with a new DVBS2 and Mythtv . I thought that it was the drivers issue
- but it is not . My apologies to the DVB developers ( sorry Igor for doubting ) . The issue is that Mythtv when dealing with DVBS2 card will need to access an additional parameter from the dtv_multiplex table which is mod_sys . In my mod_sys column there was only "1" , instead of a proper setting such as "DVB-S" . After updating the table , mythtv was able to execute a tune properly .
Best Regards
