[mythtv-users] Terratec Cinergy 1400 DVB-T tuning/transponders

[Martin Ereth]

Hello!

Has anyone out there got the Terratec Cinergy 1400 (PCI, software-decoder) running
with mythtv? I am going to go mad.

My location is Germany, near Nuremberg.

The card works fine with kaffeine, also scanning for channels. I just had to give
kaffeine a list [1], it scanned these transponders and then all channels were
available after about 3 min.

Using mythtv I have to enter these transponders manually. This way should be no problem.
But it doesn't work. Why ist it so hard to get the channels working? I just found some
channels on one transponder by accident. It takes 2h to do so.
Then I imported a channels.conf, all available channels are working. But why is EPG
not working now?

RESULT:
Imported channels.conf [2] -> no EPG,
Scanning -> a few channels with EPG.

How should I tune the channels? Why is tuning channels with mythtv so difficult?
Just giving mythtv file [1] or [2] and then getting all found channels would be really
great!
The comparison of the mysql-table of a working channel and the same channel with
working EPG will follow.

Importing the mysql-table dtv-multiplex(transponders) and/or channel from a friend
living next door (he uses a usb-stick) also doesn't work.

There is no way out of this vicious circle!!!!

Thanks for your help in advance!
