I have found a disec multiswitch for two twin LNBs to two receivers at Conrad Electronics (article no. 257281) for 52 EUR. I think something like that should work well. There are other multiswitches for more receivers available, but they are also more expensive, of course ;-) Kind regards, Stefan ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] Minimal VDR install
Andrey Kuzmin a écrit : I usually start by installing the latest version of ubuntu on one computer and then duplicate that directory for every client. Completely diskless clients booting through PXE or iSCSI from single image or from dedicated images from server are also worth to try. This work fast on gigabit networks with dedicated network cards on server per client. Haven't tried this with VDR yet, planning in future. 100Mbps EPIA EK8000 server here, with 2 diskless/deviceless clients. According to Munin, during a typical week : * peak disk IO : 2k blocks read per second, 2k blocks written per second * peak eth0 traffic : 10Mbps to the server, 15Mbps from the server * 2% CPU due to the VDR server process * 8% peak CPU due to DVB + eth devices during recordings or live-view * 80MB memory for all userland apps (VDR + Samba + DNS + MPD, etc. etc.) -- NH ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Great, that should work. Thanks for the hint! So is the quad LNB now acting like dual LNB? a waste of a quad LNB? It's already there. A waste would be to actually replace it. It may need replacing by a quattro or dual, though, because a quad already contains a multiswitch. -- Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy. -- Charlie McCarthy ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] about the hvr-4000 tuning problems
Hi I have tried to add some more printouts to dvbdevice.c for trying to understand why the vdr-1.7.x fails to tune to dvb-s or dvb-s2 channels. hvr-1300 is in /dev/dvb/adapter0 and hvr-4000 is in /dev/dvb/adapter1 I added printouts to SetFrontEnd() and Action() methods. In SetFrontEnd() method it seems that the code is at least always going to correct if/else block. (No, diseq, dvb-t, dvb-s or dvb-s2 depending on what channel I try to tune) If I watch dvb-t channel (which works), I can see a following logs: Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 1, NewStatus: 0 SetFrontEnd(): DVB-T, fd_frontend: 4, cardIndex: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 ...

If I instead try to tune to new dvb-s channel that I have not previously pre-tuned with szap or szap-s2 (for example arte), vdr will fail to show the channel and I can see a following: Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 31 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 31 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 1, NewStatus: 31 Setup.DiSeqC == false SetFrontEnd(): DVB-S, fd_frontend: 6, cardIndex: 1 (frequency * 1000UL): 993000 channel.Modulation(): 9 channek.Srate() * 1000UL): 2200 channel.CoderateH(): 5 channel.Inversion(): 2 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 31 frontend 1 regained lock on channel 5, tp 110743 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 3, NewStatus: 3 frontend 1 lost lock on channel 5, tp 110743 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 ...

And I'm able to see that channel instantly. Klaus, do you have any idea from which functions I should try to track more for finding the problem? I use a Hauppauge NOVA-HD-S2 and I've updated to the latest S2API drivers on the s2-liplianin repository. It uses the same kernel-driver as the HVR-4000. And I don't have any tuning problems at all on Hotbird 13.0, Astra 19.2, Astra 23.5 and Astra 28.2. This is with VDR 1.7.0 and my own S2API patch as well as with VDR 1.7.3. By any chance, did you try disabling diseqc? Because I had tuning problems when I used standard diseqc values with no retries with my diseqc 1.0 switch.
