I've been having a hard time getting my HDHR
configured properly. I feel like I'm close, but just
can't get the last little bit worked out. Perhaps
some kind sole here who has a function one can compare
their setup with mine and let me know what's going
wrong.
I'm running the most recently-packaged .20-fixes from
ATrpms. My HDHR is working - it can tune and stream
channels to my VLC client. However, getting it
recognized by MythTV has not been successful.
I attempted to follow the setup instructions, but
could not get anything recognized by the channel
scanning process. Nothing was found, no entries made
in the dtv_multiplex table, and nothing added to the
channel table.
I am currently attempting to add records to the
database by hand. I have been focusing on trying to
add records to support the following (as reported by
the hdhomerun_config "scan" output):
SCANNING: 747000000 (us-cable:116, us-irc:116)
LOCK: qam256 (ss=97 snq=90 seq=100)
PROGRAM: 1: 2.1 E3_1 WB
PROGRAM: 2: 11.2 E3_2 WT
PROGRAM: 3: 11.3 E3_3 WT
PROGRAM: 4: 1.4 E3_4 WT
I added the following record to dtv_multiplex:
mplexid: 1
sourceid: 3
transportid: NULL
networkid: NULL
frequency: 747000000
inversion: NULL
symbolrate: NULL
fec: NULL
polarity: NULL
modulation: qam_256
bandwidth: NULL
lp_code_rate: NULL
transmission_mode: NULL
guard_interval: NULL
visible: 0
constellation: NULL
hierarchy: NULL
hp_code_rate: NULL
sistandard: atsc
serviceversion: 33
updatetimestamp: 2007-06-12 22:24:57
I added the following record to channel:
chanid: 1110
channum: 189
freqid: 116
sourceid: 3
callsign: WTTW-HD
name: WTTW-HD
icon: none
finetune: NULL
videofilters:
xmltvid:
recpriority: 0
contrast: 32768
brightness: 32768
colour: 32768
hue: 32768
tvformat: ATSC
commfree: 0
visible: 1
outputfilters:
useonairguide: 0
mplexid: 1
serviceid: 3
atscsrcid: NULL
tmoffset: 0
atsc_major_chan: 0
atsc_minor_chan: 0
When I attempt to Watch TV, the log information from
the backend reports:
2007-06-12 22:51:03.709 TVRec(8): Changing from None
to WatchingLiveTV
2007-06-12 22:51:04.110 TVRec(8): HW Tuner: 8->8
2007-06-12 22:51:04.424 HDHRChan(10111032/0): device
found at address 192.168.15.100
The frontend reports "Signal 95% | (L__) Partial
Lock".
Examining the HDHR during this time shows the
following:
$ ./hdhomerun_config 10111032 get /tuner0/status
ch=qam256:747000000 lock=qam256 ss=95 snq=90 seq=100
bps=38807712 pps=0
$ ./hdhomerun_config 10111032 get /tuner0/channel
qam256:747000000
$ ./hdhomerun_config 10111032 get /tuner0/program
0
Also, the light that indicates "streaming" on the HDHR
does not come on (it does when watching a show with
VLC).
What should I examine next? Perhaps someone could
post their working dtv_multiplex and channel entries
for comparison? Maybe there's some additional
diagnostics I could gather? I'm at a loss here...
please help!
