tvheadend with 3 Tuner

Ralf Brinkmann

I have setup a debian system with three SAT S2 Tuner:
2 x tevii S660

1 x Sundtek Sky Ultimate IV

The idea behind this is, to be able to have 2 TV feeded, and be able to record at least one channel.

What realy confuses me is, that in the webfrontend I often see at Status the signal strength with 0%

I am still receiving the message that there is no free adapter, even if there is only on TV active.

At the tvheadend client on my iPad I can see in the log lots of entrys with Multiple DVB multiplexes with same identifier.

At configuration DVB inputs I find different muxes:
tevii S660 #1 213 muxes
tevii S669 #2 112 muxes
sundtek. 110 muxes

I dont understand the different mux counts.

Has anyboy expierence with more than 1 tuner connected ti tvheadende?
Has tvheadend some kind of load balancer for the clients, or how can I select a tuner from kodi?

Is there an efficent way tipo setup the services and multiplexes for each tuner?

thanx

Which satellite does your dish point at?

Astra 19.2?

What does your setup look like?
All LNBs directly connected to the tuners?
Any multiswitch in between?
How about the cabling - same quality cable or any difference?

Ralf Brinkmann

Hi
I have an Astra 19.2 System, with a 16 Port Multiswitch.
The tuner are located directly at the multiswitch, the cable length is app. 0.5 m.

All the cable are the same.

On the other multiswitch exits I have
a Topfiled Twin receiver,
a Kathrein receiver

2 Loewe TV with integrated receiver

So far all work fine.

What does following command show up:

/opt/bin/mediaclient --testastra -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0

Which LNB do you have?

Gary Brown

what version tvheadend are you using? I'm guessing < 3.9 if so update to latest (git master is best)

@Gary
I am using
HTS Tvheadend 3.5.247~g098b7de~wheezy

Ralf Brinkmann

So far I am not sure how get the git master. In my sources.list I have:

deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/beta wheezy main

deb-src http://apt.tvheadend.org/beta wheezy main

How can I get the git master?

Thank you

Gary Brown

follow this guide for master

https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Building

or
A repository (unstable one is the one you need)
https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/AptRepository

thank you,
I was successful until Configuration
$ ./configure
Return with file or folder not found

You need to be in the directory into which you just cloned the source code. This is typically $HOME/tvheadend.

Ralf Brinkmann

thank you,
I found it.
It is running now.
I will report....

Ralf Brinkmann

the version 3.9.2308 is running now.
On the Web end I can see all my adapter, and I have enabled them.

Nothing happens. on the old version there was mux to be scanned. Here I see nothing.

Do I have to initiate a start somewhere else?

The console shows "tvheadend successfully established" - all in green.

Gary Brown

you need to setup your network tab first. add your network there. (if it's astra 19.2e then don't add predefined muxes just add a mux on the mux tab with the info at the bottom)

then you setup each adaptor so they are connected to this network and at this point the network will find most if not all muxes on the sat.

you then either add channels manually or use the new bouquets tab.

Atra 19.2e mux
"frequency": 11953500,
"symbol_rate": 27500000,
"fec": "3/4",
"polarisation": "Horizontal",
"modulation": "QPSK",
"delivery_system": "SYS_DVBS",

Hi Gary,
thank you, I found it, and it is working now.

The setup is for multiple receiver a lot easier now!

I will play around with it, and report....

the tvheadend 3.9.2308 is running, and I can stream TV to my iPad.
In addition I have 2 FireTV running Kodi 14.0 Git: 2014-12-23 with tvheadend client 1.9.39.
Selecting a TV channel results in:
Tvheadend HTSP Client:
- Command failed: Stream Setup Error
- Disconnectd from HTS Tvheadend

- Connected to HTS Tvheadend

I have changed at the user settings the streamin from 'pass' to 'matroshka' (works best for the iPad),

but no change.

The Output of the tvheadend Server shows

Playback recordings works fine....

Any idea what I can do to get TV back to the TV? :)
