Does that single Tuner work?

/opt/bin/mediaclient --enabledreambox=/dev/dvb/adapterX/frontend0

I think the "Auto-registering" mode only recognises one tuner automatically, we'll change that shouldn't be hard to add support for multiple tuners there - thanks for spotting this.

Tested(sorry, a lot of work at the end of the year).
Second tuner - work fine same as first tuner.

/usr/sundtek/sun_dvb.sh add
case "$1" in
     start_c)
....
if [ -e /etc/sundtek.conf ] && [ "`grep -c dreambox_support_fe1 /etc/sundtek.conf`" != "0" ]; then
           echo `date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S [$$]"`" Using /etc/sundtek.conf for deviceconfiguration" >> /var/log/mediasrv.log
+           $DRIVERPATH/mediaclient --enabledreambox=/dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0

I checked the new version, the same problems.
The second tuner is not recognized.

As far as I know that's just a workaround we will update the driver source for it soon.

There is a problem.
SNR value always 91%.
Is it possible to make dynamic values, at least a little closer to reality? 
Titel: Re: SkyTV VIII dual - enigma2
Beitrag von: Sundtek am März 02, 2021, 08:24:21 Nachmittag
The unit is not % it's in dB

By my experience if you have 91 it's pretty good.
There is no real range given in the Linux DVB API (and the value is returned by the chipset),
I'd prefer to keep it that way since various clients are using it that way for years already (the receiver part is the same as with the current single tuners which are available since 2018).

Also the values cannot be returned in a more accurate way than what the hardware returns (they might be transformed, but might loose accuracy by doing so).
So the application should better do that transformation.

It not  dynamic values.
If this were the case, then I wrote the recalculation code in the enigma itself.
Titel: Re: SkyTV VIII dual - enigma2
Beitrag von: Dima73 am März 03, 2021, 09:56:25 Vormittag
There are two options in enigma2.
"Force legacy signal stats"-->"If set to 'yes' signal values (SNR, etc) will be calculated from API V3. This is an old API version that has now been superseded."  yes/no

2)Manual recalculation https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2/blob/5af9063bdb4254368315f8969378b95b720aeaa3/lib/dvb/frontend.cpp#L940

it is a dynamic value, there's no hardcoded value in it. For good systems I usually see 89-91, but there are also worse 70.
You could probably crosscheck by adjusting the attenuation. The outcome can just alter the value given by the chipsets, it won't change anything else.

"Sundtek DVB-S/S2 (IV)" seems to do some recalculation.

Beitrag von: Dima73 am März 03, 2021, 12:08:32 Nachmittag
Ok, I'll check everything again.
Titel: Re: SkyTV VIII dual - enigma2
Beitrag von: Dima73 am März 04, 2021, 08:54:10 Vormittag
I checked that dynamic values work very badly.
 I used was the VU+DVB-S dual tuner, so the calculation of the values is very accurate.
1)
VU+DVB-S dual tuner -->SNR 94%
Sundtek-->SNR 91%
2)
VU+DVB-S dual tuner -->SNR 64%
Sundtek-->SNR 90%
The value was very low and the picture on the HD channel began to freeze.
Titel: Re: SkyTV VIII dual - enigma2
Beitrag von: Sundtek am März 04, 2021, 12:00:06 Nachmittag
There are also other factors, you wrote the picture froze, on both tuners or what? Don't even take VU+ as a reference, things very much depend on the chipsets. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

SNR is only one factor, things are chipset and device dependent

Any tuner should not report such high values in poor signal conditions(which can be simulated by misaligned dish or during the heavy rain)...

It also seems that yellow warning is present only when replying to topic:

Solo 4K
Last drivers.
Connected together  tuner SkyTV VIII dual / tuner Sundtek SkyTV Ultimate IV.
No signal on both tuners.
Remove Sundtek SkyTV Ultimate IV, reboot solo4K, SkyTV VIII dual no signal.
Unplug the power adapter SkyTV VIII dual  temporarily,load  solo4K,  SkyTV VIII dual work fine.

Sundtek I just add the answer here, it must have been fixed for a long time already.
