Is it posible to use multiswitch with TBS6909???

easy easy

Hello..
After lot of hours of trying I get stucked.
What I would like to do is next. I'm using multiswitcher (multishalter) like from a picture:

I connected tbs6909 with a multiswitch in next way:

Rec1 (switch) -> input0 (tbs6909)
Rec2 (switch) -> input1 (tbs6909)
Rec3 (switch) -> input2 (tbs6909)

Rec4 (switch) -> input3 (tbs6909)

Of course I connected the quattro head correctly, couse from Rec5 and Rec6 I tested on two receivers and every chanell is accesable.
I'm using HTS Tvheadend 4.2.7-17~g45cc65a with open drivers (date: v180822) and from manual it is not clear how I need to configure TVHeadend in this case.

As I understand from link:
https://www.tbsiptv.com/download/tbs6909/tbs6909_user_guide.pdf
I need to use themode1 combination couse themode0 explaining that from picture of manual I need to connect as I connecting quttro head. Am I true?

I did the/etc/modprobe.d/mxl58x.conf and put theoptions mxl58x mode=1 inside the file and did then reboot.

Now if I use as a simple universal configuration like from the pictures:

and scan of frequency alwaysFAIL.

What I'm doing wrong?
The cables are OK, I have with simple receiver signal but on TBS6909 it always fail.
I tried other frequencies too and it is same.

Card is good couse if I put the cable from simple LNB in for example in Input0 of TBS6909 I can scan at least few transponders.

Every help will be apreciate.

Sorry for digging out an old topic, but have you managed to find a solution? Ive got same problem as you had, except im using TBS 6904 card. It kinda works when i set "universal LNB" in TVHeadend, without any switch, but only detects about half of muxes.

Yes I did it..
I'm using quattro head for mentioned multishalter. Then that signal apear on all 8 output what is connected to TBS 6904 and quttro output from multishater going to TVS 6909 card.
Settings for TVS 6904 and TBS 6909 is in attachment

Hi, easy easy
Also digging out old topic.
Can you tell me if you have 1 or 2 Satelite positions(1 or 2 quattro LNBs)?

And do you use 6909 in mode0 or mode1?

Cause I have similar setup as you,(3 satelites in multiswitch, 4 cables from multiswitch to 6909 card) and i am using mode1.
Can you help me configure TVH with 6909x in mode0.
Reason for that is that in mode1, i can use ony 1 tuner for 1 physical input in TBS6909, i can watch 4 diferent transponders at the same time, but that card has 8 tuners, so i would like to congfigure it the way you did.

if you can help me

thank you

Tomislav
