[mythtv-users] Scanning Echostar 8/10

[Michelle Dupuis]

I've experienced the same - appears to be a Myth bug.  Scandvb will find
them channels, but Myth will not find them.
 
I've seen some comments that this is by design (making it difficult to steal
satellite signals) - and that there are some patches.  I've not seen
anything conclusive and haven't pursued it...
 
Please post what you find!

Subject: [mythtv-users] Scanning Echostar 8/10


I have a Myth box running 0.20.1 on Gentoo with a 2.6.20 kernel. I'm
interested in receiving GolTV on Echostar 8/10, which is currently broadcast
free to air. I have been unable to get my myth box to successfully find any
services when I scan the satellite. During the scan it says "locked" on
12224000 (tp freq) and actually recognizes the satellite as it says Echostar
110 processing, however it doesn't find any channels. I had it run a Full
Scan and gave it the following values:

Frequency: 12224000
Polarization: Right Circular
Symbol Rate: 20000000
FEC: Auto
Inversion: Auto

At the end of the scan it says "No Tables Found". The debugging output of
mythtv-setup is attached for reference. If I try to import a channels.conf
with all the proper data for Gol TV, it attempts to scan but doesn't find
anything (DiSEqC port 2).

GOLTV:12341:v:1:20000:4130:4132:407

If I tune manually with szap and run mplayer against the dvr0 interface of
the dvb card, the card tunes and the audio and video work great.

Is scanning the Echostar satellites currently broken in MythTV? I also tried
with an older 0.20 release and had the same results.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks
