Sundtek Support Forum

Hi,

Okay, so Im facing this really wierd issue and Im not really sure where to begin so I hope you guys can help me.

I currently own the USB Sundtek MediaTV PRO (II) DVBC/DVBT version.

Im running it successfully on my Intel NUC DC3217IYE with the latest OpenELEC version (5.95.5) and TVHeadend, which downloaded through the Unofficial OpenELEC Repo. I SAN-boot into OpenELEC with iPXE/NFS.

I believe the versions installed to date is;
/storage/.kodi/addons/service.multimedia.tvheadend/changelog.txt -> 6.0.1
cat /storage/.kodi/addons/driver.dvb.sundtek-mediatv/version.used -> sundtek_installer_150907.163414.sh

So, everything is working fine and dandy while running OpenELEC. I can tune to my dvbc network channels without any problems at all.

Now, I purchased a SSD and decided to migrate to Kodibuntu while Im at it.

Said and done I downloaded the latest version of Kodibuntu from kodi.tv which is kodi14 helix.

It installs and boot up fine from my SSD.

I've download your latest driver from http://sundtek.com/media/ (tried both "full" and netinst). And install it successfully.
Add the nightly build from official Tvheadend apt repo and install it. (4.1-647~g4f557c7).

It seems like everything is detected? I can see the adapter in TVheadend as well.

But Im not getting any signal?
2015-10-19 11:20:27.000 mpegts: 354MHz in CD - scan no data, failed

I've tried w_scan just to see if I can get any signals at all, but it fails to lock onto any muxes?

Running mediaclient -m DVBC -f (to known working mux) doesn't give me a lock just one .dot.

The fundamental problem seems to be that it's unable to get/detect any signals, which leads me to believe it's driver related.

Note that I do not do any changes but boot from my SSD instead off the network. (so no usb port switching etc.).

Now, to get even more confused, I own a Synology NAS (DS413). So I thought, hey, i'll try your driver and install it on my NAS instead.
.... It's not working. Tried sharing the tuner via network. No go.

Im going insane... I remember running Ubuntu 12.04 with this stick and Tvheadend about 2 years ago?

What has changed?


Please help, let me know what you need.

Thank you :-)
