I did, but this channel.conf is very old, and lack some channels. I
wanted to take the chance to update it. It's strange that I never
managed to have it up to date though (even with the old existing
server), so it must be me somehow...

I'll do that ASAP...
IIRC, I may have disabled EPG scan because EPG is awful in France, and
more so on terrestrial... I have EPG downloaded from the web instead.

I fully understand this point, but since the Octopus has a web interface
and apparently also acts as a DLNA DMS, I think it could be a nice
addition to have at least basic channel scanning, just to provide a
smoother starting with the device (which is neally neat in every other
aspects).

I don't "blame" anything, and I trust that plugin to work flawlessly. I
still have power supply issues on the Raspberry Pi which masks all that
stability ;-)
As of now, this is a task for the soldering iron.

That's what I tried, with the channel.conf I have from the VDR server,
but it didn't catch newer channels, even though "some time" was a day or
two.
I suspect this is something related to MANUAL.gz stating "Note that
adding new transponders only works if the "EPG scan" is active.", and
the fact that EPG is currently meant to be shared from the VDR server,
and apparently not working... Even UpdateChannels = 4 didn't add
anything.

I'll deal with this and bother the ML if I can't manage it ;-)

Re: [vdr] DVB-T2 device in France

Nicolas,

ok, two points just for my couriousity.

1. Why don't you share channels.conf from your server as you do it with EPG 
data?
2. Why don't you enable EPG scan just for a few hours for the channels scan and 
delete epg.data afterwards again?

By chance I tested the same a couple of days ago on my Octopus (DVBS-8) and it 
took just 20min to fill the channels.conf with ~1300 channels from Astra 19.2°E 
...

Regards
Frank

Re: [vdr] DVB-T2 device in France

Hi Nicolas,

per specs channel scan is not inteded for the SAT>IP servers, this is client's 
responsibility.

VDR doesn't provide an active channel scan option, so don't blame and point 
just the plugin, which does run awesome stable here since spring 2014.

VDR does provide a passive channel scan, only caveat you need at least one 
working line in channels.conf. If you have that, go to OSD / Setup / DVB and 
set "Update channels:" to "add new transponders" (setup.conf / UpdateChannels = 
5). After some time of patience you should find a properly filled 
channels.conf, ready to be sorted.

Cheers
Frank

Hi.
You can try this

This is reelchannelscan fork, it can scan on sat>ip device.

Re: [vdr] DVB-T2 device in France

[Nicolas Huillard]

Thanks for all your answers !

I finally opted for the Digital Devices Octopus Net, which DVT-T2 tuners
are equipped with Sony D2837ER demodulators, which happen to completely
solve the bad reception issue. Great !

Now I have a whole new set of problems : SAT>IP (with the satip plugin
which seems to be great, and channel scan which is as of now
non-solved ; too bad the Octopus couldn't channel-scan by itself and
provide an initial channel.conf or VLC playlist) and Raspberry Pi client
which is a bit tricky (power issues, media player, disappointingly weak
CEC support on the TV side, etc...).

At least, I can upgrade the VDR server without breaking the DVB kernel
drivers, and upgrade the VDR client without breaking X.org or
xinelib ;-)

I have a 290e I use for DVB-T2 reception and it has worked really well for

* be robustly supported with stock kernels in Debian (jessie and
future), which does not seem to be a problem anymore...

If there are some dual-tuner, DVB-T2 + S2 card out there which are 
well
supported by VDR, that's OK too. I may prefer to add another DVB-S2 
card

later on though (there is no sat-dish on the roof yet).

TIA !



I use an USB tuner "PCTV Systems nanoStick T2 290e" from Hauppauge. It 
has a good Sony tuner, and DVB-T2 in my setup works fine even with an 
desktop antenna (the broadcast mast is in visible range though).


Driver is in kernel, and this was the first Linux tuner for DVB-T2 and 
supported even in the older kernels. I use it in a Raspberry Pi 2 with 
two DVB-C tuners and I'm all happy.

I have the TBS6281 and have found that the drivers from TBS are a pain to
get co-existing at the same time with other kernel DVB drivers (e.g. my
Prof USB DVB-S2 device) and need re-installing after every kernel update.
Also, I think that the open source drivers do not support DVB-T2.

However, on the positive side once the driver is installed, the card is
stable.

I noticed than TBS680 is more sensitive than NOVA-T-500. I don't  know if 
TBS6281 is even better, I don't have technical specifications.

Regards.


Thank you for your answers. Any information regarding the signal reception 
quality ?

I was also pondering Digital Devices Octopus NET (rack version suits me) 
http://www.digital-devices.eu/shop/en/networktuner/sets-und-bundles/208/dd-octopus-net-rack-ct2-dvbip-networktuner
This is expensive, but standalone with a webinterface, expandable (no kernel 
drivers on the VDR side, just the satip plugin which seems to be maintained).
http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/satip/

DVB-T/T2 sensitivity is "-82.6 dBm at 16 - QAM & 3/4", which I can't compare to 
other cards (Nova-T-500 is only said to be "high sensitivity").

Is Digital Devices worth the cost ?

Hi,

I use TBS6280 (dual tuner, pci-e) from Turbosight in dvb-t mode (no dvb-t2
signal here): good card, not expensive and great technical support. Newer
model is TBS 6281 : 

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TBS6281

I hope it helps.

Objet : [vdr] DVB-T2 device in France

Hello all,

My previous mail to this ML is apparently dated 2011 ;-) Everything was OK
there since then... Except that my Hauppauge Nova-T-500 died recently, and
my ancient PCI cards do not work in the 2013 server.

I'm looking for advice for a new DVB-T2 device, which should :
* have a good tuner, because some channels (transponders, ie.
frequencies) are difficult to catch here ; the TV set (Panasonic) works
perfectly well, and I've added an RF amplifier on the roof, so I guess the
Nova-T-500 tuner was not good enough
* have a PCI or preferably PCI-e bus, and dual tuner (I don't really like
USB sticks, which tend to lead to a mess of cable)
* be robustly supported with stock kernels in Debian (jessie and future),
which does not seem to be a problem anymore...

If there are some dual-tuner, DVB-T2 + S2 card out there which are well
supported by VDR, that's OK too. I may prefer to add another DVB-S2 card
later on though (there is no sat-dish on the roof yet).

TIA !
