Hi Again

Well the scan seemed to work. It has populated the channel table, but dvb_channel and dvb_pids are both empty! So when I try to "Watch TV" and I get:

2005-05-08 18:43:06.933 DVB#0 ERROR - No PIDS set, please correct your channel setup.
2005-05-08 18:43:07.934 DVB#0 WARNING - No data from card in 1 second.
2005-05-08 18:43:08.935 DVB#0 WARNING - No data from card in 1 second.


Are dvb_channel and dvb_pids supposed to be empty?

Cheers
James

Hi All

I have installed MythTV 0.18 on my gentoo system. My DVB-S card is a
Technisat SkyStar 2 which has been verified working with linux dvb
tools.

It is detected by MythTV but I am unable to scan for channels. It is
unclear what units to use for the frequency and symbol rate - I have
tried various combinations of Hz kHz and MHz with no effect. I just
get Tuning - no lock until it times out.


I use mythtv 0.17 and it works fine, presumably it should also work in 0.18. The units I use are as follows:

- Frequency is in Khz, so for eg 10773MHz is entered as 10773000
- Symbol rate in kSym/sec, so 27500 is entered as 27500000

These work very well for me on three different satellites.


If I try and configure channels manually, using the channel editor, I
get no options regarding DVB stuff - I enter the channel number (is
this number important?) and the name, and the video source. Pressing
next however gives me Video 4 Linux options like frequency ID which
doesn't seem relevant at all.


I don't think you can manually specify DVB options - you have to use the
automatic scanning utilities.
