LNB No Signal Optus D1

[redstorm]

I have the 10750 dual throat LNB on a standard Sky dish and have followed the instructions hear on how to add the LNB settings to TVheadend. I've tested the output voltage on the sky decoder and on the DVB-S/S2 both to be 18Volts

dvb_satconf.c

if(!strcmp(id, "Universal")) {
    *f_low    = 10750000;
    *f_hi     = 10750000;
    *f_switch = 10750000;
  }

The frontend status comes back with "No Signal", the mux info is from lyngsat
http://www.lyngsat.com/Optus-D1.html
12456 H DVB-S 22500-3/4
12483 H DVB-S 22500-3/4

adding 000 for tvheadend for kHz

any ideas, it looks like nothing coming back from the LNB but plug it back into sky and all is well...

Can you run "./mediaclient --readsignal=2 -d /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 --band UNIVERSAL" ?

Your Universal Frequency is not correct?

/opt/bin/mediaclient -m DVBS -f 12456000 -M QPSK -S 22500000 -V H -E 3/4

The default is universal LNB if the given frequency is >3000, otherwise the real frequency on the cable is used.

Progress.. ill be back if i get stuck with the S2

In your case please always use the --band UNIVERSAL flag when running the readsignal command.

If this option is missing the real frequency on the cable is shown (not the LNB frequency)


I see from your post that you modified tvheadend to switch the tone off :-)
