CURRENT STATUS OF ROTOR SUPPORT: Working since commit from 4th August 2014 version 3.9.1139 and later but stopped for me after an update from git (not sure which update as was doing it remotely for parents)

OPENELEC's version of tvheadend is behind this commit. please let them know you want it updating before attempting this on that OS.

MY SETUP: OS:Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-32-generic x86_64)
Tvheadend: v3.9.1499
dvb-s card: Mystique SaTiX-S2 Sky PCI (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mystique-SaTiX-S2-Sky-PCI-DiseqC/dp/B005IFWDIY) rotor: Alsat Superior Dark Motor

dish: Alsat 1m mesh dish

GUIDE (needs an update for recent master:

1.first set some networks and give them names ( I use individual satellites but you could add more and do it by providers if you wanted to)

POINTERS:

positive numbers for east and negative for west.

Don't Rely on GPS or Google for your site latitude or longitude use the values from your receiver or older program. (compare mine to to Sunderland, England SR4 and see the difference in mine.)

Rate:
in the Rate Column it needs a value of ms per each .1 of a degree. the text needs fixing to say that. I have the following rotor http://www.amazon.co.uk/SUPREME-MOTOR-METAL-DiSEqC-USALS/dp/B005THZL30/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_1

it runs at Max. Speed: 1.9 / sec (at 13V) ; 2.5 / sec (at 18V) by the specs and manual.

tvheadend sets to 18v so 2.5 degrees each second.

1 / 25 = 0.4 seconds per degree multiplied by 1000 to change to miliseconds giving me a value of 400 to use in rate and it's perfect. when I wrote the code I made sure it always rounds up the result to seconds to allow extra time for the rotor to settle.

If you leave Rate empty or 0 it will wait 120 seconds between each move.

+*ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK IN THIS THREAD AND PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS TO SPEED UP HELP.*+

what version/build of tvheadend are you using? +(look in the about section and paste the bold top line ie. "HTS Tvheadend 3.9.1499~g97999e4")+

PEOPLES QUESTIONS

if I use the latest stable Openelec version and tvheadend from it will I have the proper versions? I've just asked in there IRC chat room and was told they are running version 3.9.1083 you need at least version 3.9.1139 have a look at the following link if your brave enough to update it yourself.

http://openelec.tv/forum/79-tvheadend/67708-update-to-newest-tvheadend

I also have a cline I use from a friend. Can you please help me how to configure tvh and oscam to use the cline I have?

Please ask questions about OSCAM in Descrambling section as This thread is for the rotor only.

I'm also not sure how to scan for all the channels on a sat by following your guide.

once you have configured the information above you do it the same way as normal (Pre-defined Muxes in Networks or by adding the muxes individually making sure to choose the correct network when it asks for it)

What OSCam am I Using it's irrelavent but OSCam r9792 but please note If people are trying to use an encrypted channel then the problem may not be with the rotor but your oscam setup. please check with unencrypted channels to see if the rotor is the problem.
