How to make a scan?

[mattis]

Can someone help with the pvr function?

newest ion-pvr-dev installed.
sundtek-driver, tvheadend, w_scan installed by addons

how can i make now a full dvb-t scan to see whats around?
no plan how to do that..

in tvheadend is no option to make a fullscan..so lets try w_scan

openelec ~ $ mediaclient -e
**** List of Media Hardware Devices ****
device 0: [Sundtek MediaTV Digital Home (USB 2.0)] DVB-C, DVB-T, REMOTE-CONTROL
[DVB-C]:
FRONTEND: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
DVR: /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
DMX: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
[DVB-T]:
FRONTEND: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
DVR: /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
DMX: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
[REMOTECONTROL]:
INPUT0: /dev/mediainput0

looks good..

openelec ~ $ w_scan -c CH
w_scan version 20120128 (compiled for DVB API 5.4)

looks more bad

what i have to do?

[ultraman]

In tvheadend web gui you can select a country or you can add MUX manually.

[mattis]

in gui i can select a country, but there are cableproviders in the list.
so make no sense/result with dvb-t, right?

add MUX manually? you mean:
configuration->multiplexes->add multiplex(es) manually

what values i have to insert to make a fullscan?

[MasterAlexei]

I would like to know it too!

I did tried to add the muxes from the list for the country (Germany, Bayern), but in a Config-TV Adapters-General-Information and capabilities there is this text:
Hardware
Device path:
/dev/dvb/adapter0
Device name:
A827[0] DVB-T
Host connection:
USB (480 Mbit/s)
Frequency range:
42000 kHz - 1023000 kHz, in steps of 0 kHz

The problem, I think, is in this zerro by steps.
For my DVB-S there was not zerro, but 1011 kHz (for example).
But with that DVB-T USB Stick there is always 0, independent of that if I add the mux manually or from the list.

With the DVB-S the tvheadend and xbmc wroking together like a charm, but with DVB-T it wont.
The adapter itself works, I did try it on windows machine.

Does some one know the solution for that problem?

I use OpenELEC-ION.i386-devel-20120402150846-r10416
the DVB-T card is AVerMedia_AverTV_Hybrid_Volar_HX_(A827) (USB)

Thanks in advance,
Alexey

i have another device but also a hybrid, so problem maybe the same.

i have C/T hybrid. it's only possible to use one. for my device there is a config

\OpenelecUserdataaddon_datadriver.dvb.sundtek-mediatvsundtek.conf

# Choose initial DVB mode for hybrid DVB-T/DVB-C devices only
#initial_dvb_mode=[DVBC|DVBT]
# default mode is DVB-C, we must set it to DVB-T if needed
initial_dvb_mode=DVBT

maybe you find some corresponding for your device

[MasterAlexei]

Thanks!
I'll try it now.

[MasterAlexei]

Hm. It wasn't so quick, as I though

I have no such directory for my DVB-T tuner. Does any bode knows, where is its config located, or I can create some dir, with the name like this one:
drvier.dvb.a827 and there a file a827.config
?

By the way, this tuner is hybrid too. And I want to use cable input.

Hi,

When scanning for channels, make sure no other application (TVHeadend, VDR, ...) is using the DVB card.

[MasterAlexei]

But how can tvheadend scan the channels, if it may not use the device?

Besides, there is still the 0 in the "step", 1 in a "Muxes awaiting initial scan", and it stays for whole day in such state (I did added one mux manual):


Frequency range:
42000 kHz - 1023000 kHz, in steps of 0 kHz
Status
Currently tuned to:
140,250 kHz
Services:
0
Muxes:
1
Muxes awaiting initial scan:
1

Hi,

I meant when using w_scan to create a channels.conf.

Greetings,
