Sundtek Support Forum

Oh my... I think I know what's going on now. 

It's my provider that has switched muxes.

I've always used the pre-defined no-oslo-CanalDigital list to discover muxes. It seems like that list is scanning on QAM64.

So adding that I just assumed TVheadend on my Kodibuntu installation would discover everything automatically.

Now checking my old OpenELEC install I can see that the muxes that works are on QAM256. I guess they had some sort of discovery activated while they migrated to the new muxes/network?? (guessing, have no real knowledge of dvb).

So it seems they simply are no longer broadcasting on QAM64 net.

So everything is in order, case closed and thank you for your time though!

This is my sundtek.conf btw.

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.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

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 :-)
