Hello:
I'm been trying to set up a FTA satellite PCI card receiver (North
America)for mythtv. I've encountered a few speed bumps.
So I've got an "itch". Before I begin to scratch, do the developer(s)
have a wish list, that might coincide with my "problems"
Some ideas:
Change / Check box the frequency, symbol rates from KHz to MHz
Investigate how the LNB settings work. Specifically dual lnb and the
switch frequency and rotor settings.
Implement a signal strength feed back to the rotor settings.
Possibly add a fine tune motor control to the initial rotor setup.
Not sure just some ideas.
I've been struggling to get mythtv to receive FTA satellite signals and
finally got a successful tune last night. But I'm thinking something is
broke in the setup process.
My hope is to get a FTA motorized C / Ku band receiver working such
that mythtv would rotate the satellite dish and record programs driven
by schedules direct.
Equipment:
Technisat SkyStar 2 HD pci card
Dual LNB C / Ku LOF 5150,10750
Fedora 20/21 x86/x86_64
DiSEqC 1.2 VBox controller
1.8 meter dish with actuator
combined with OTA pci receiver card(s).
North American satellites
