Hi.<br>
Wonder if you can help, I am very confused by the setting in myth<br>
related to the Nova-s, I have managed to prove that the cards work by<br>
scanning :-<br>
scan -a0 -x 0<br>
-n /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E<br>
Which produces a list of the channels fine.<br>
<br>
However I then try and scan using the mythbackend setup and all I get<br>
under connect source input is :-<br>
Error parsing parameters ?<br>
Ok so I assume I need to put in a Frequency ? Polarity? and symbol<br>
rate ? Any idea where I might find that information for Astra 28.8E<br>
Freesat? I assume it is one of these ?<br>
<br>
paul@vs:~$ scan -a 0 -x 0<br>
-n /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E<br>
scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E<br>
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'<br>
initial transponder 10773000 H 22000000 5<br>
initial transponder 11778000 V 27500000 2<br>
<br>
Regards a very confused Paul.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>The first of the two figures given for a transponder (10773000) is the frequency, followed by the polarity (horizontal or vertical) followed by the symbol rate (22000000) - I presume that you've had a go with these figures?<br>
<br>I found it easier (for a certain value of "easy") to do the channel scan separately and then import it: <br>~# scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E | tee /home/mythtv/channels.conf<br>
<br>This pulls in every channel listed by the satellite, and the import process drops out the ones that are encrypted (assuming you select that option) - it still leaves a whole bunch of stuff most of which you probably won't want, and which don't match up against anything in the Radio Times xmltv feed (there must be a better way to match these together, but I haven't found it yet...!)<br>
<br>I'm in the process of trying a fresh Knoppmyth R5F27 install on a separate hard disk to my main working setup (which doesn't have all the channels I want, and I don't want to break anything by messing around!) - I'm trying to document everything necessary to get up and running with a Nova-S Plus card to receive all the Freesat stuff that's possible, as the existing documentation is a bit lacking for UK folk.<br>
<br>Not sure if this helps - or if anyone else is going (or has gone) through a similar process and can offer additional guidance and support...<br>
