><>|| = MythTV DVB-S HowTo = Getting DVB-S working in [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV|MythTV]] with Ubuntu (Mythbuntu) 12.04. Tested with the following card: * Hauppauge Nova-S Plus = mythtv-setup = At the end of the [[http://www.mythbuntu.org|Mythbuntu]] installation process [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/mythtv-setup|mythtv-setup]] should start. If not, you can enter "mythtv-setup" in an terminal or click it in the Application menu. Add DVB-S card, as card type choose: '''DVB DTV TV-Card (v3.x)'''. As Frontend ID there should be some autodetected text, for '''Hauppauge Nova-S Plus''' it is: '''Conexant CX24123/CX24109 Subtype: DVB-S''' . For video source you can use '''Transmitted guide only (EIT)''' . Input connections: '''Dvb''' , Video source: '''EIT''' , '''Scan for channels''' For '''Astra 19.2E''' you need these settings: * frequency: 12551000 * symbolrate: 22000000 * polarity: Vertical for the full scan. For '''Hotbird''' (not tested): * frequency: 12539000 * symbolrate: 27500000 * polarity: horizontal If you do a 'complete scan of all transponders' and 'search new transports' activated, you will find 1145 channels in april 2012 if you include encrypted ones. = alternative scan for channels in console = If the scan in ''mythtv-setup'' doesn't work, do it by hand: Go to a console, e.g. by typing Strg-Alt-F1 (Ctrl-ALt-F1), log in and type: {{{ sudo service mythtv-backend stop cd scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E > channels.conf }}} (not dvbscan anymore) If you have more than one adapter and your Nova-S is for example adapter1, type {{{ sudo scan -a 1 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E > channels.conf }}} If you want another satellite than Astra, just ls in this directory and choose the one that fits for you. You should see a lot of channels running through you screen. The channels.conf should be in your home-directory after scanning. To start it all again type {{{ sudo service mythtv-backend start mythfrontend }}} Now you can import your new channels.conf in ''mythtv-setup'' instead of scanning for channels there. ---- CategoryHardware
