This howto is for people who want to use more than 1 USB DVB Sticks


In order to set up more than 1 USB DVB-C Stick please use following commands:

root@bm750:~# /opt/bin/mediaclient -e

verify if the tuners are loaded:

restart enigma:
$ killall enigma2

please not that not all Dreambox systems support multiple USB DVB-C devices, some VU+ systems also don't support DVB-C yet -- in case of VU+ the PLi Firmware Image is currently known to support USB DVB-C tuners, VTI is in progress but this is out of our hands

[dwaas]

when installing i get a failure,

segmentation fault
/usr/sundtek/mediaclient
error while loading shared libraries : unexpected reloc type 0x7E


is there a solution for this problem, the dm800 can't find the usb C tuner at this moment

[Sundtek]

Are you using openPLI on a dreambox?

Please follow up in following thread:

Does this work with both the MediaTV Pro and MediaTV Digital Home tuners? What about the SkyTV Ultimate tuner if one would like an extra satellite tuner?

[Sundtek]

SkyTV is upcoming soon, it is supposed to work with the Dreambox System. A software engineer from Dream Multimedia is also cooperating with this.

MediaTV Pro and MediaTV Digital Home tuners are supported.

Latest Reports:
* DM800 works (good support depends on the reencoding of the TV channels of your provider, the old DM800 is picky about that).
* DM8000 works again with the latest drivers
* DM500HD works with network mode
* DM800SE the dream Multimedia Software engineer reported it works another customer reported that it doesn't (so this software engineer is checking it again with the customer).

Hi

I have tried to install a DVB_S2 on a DM800HD-S and have som problems.
The installation proceeds as the instruction but it don't create the catalog /dev/dvb/adapter1
When I try to start the Suntek DVB_S2_Tuner Enigma craches 

Here are some screenshots:

Could it be that you have any idea why?

One more thing...
I'm using Gemini 4.7 on this DM800

Thanks in advance!

[Sundtek]

that's strange, what does "lsusb" show up, or "/usr/sundtek/mediaclient --lsusb"

[wmthwat]

-sh: /usr/sundtek/mediaclient: not found

root@dm800:/usr/sundtek# ls
khelper-src.tar.gz  kpatch              sun_dvb.sh


I will upgrade the box to Gemini 5.10 tomorrow and try to install the USB tuner again after that.
It could be that some drivers are upgraded in the latest release...
I will let you know the result.

[Sundtek]

Our engineers are currently in Taiwan again for one month to verify new devices. So the answer will be a little be delayed for such questions.

[wmthwat]

I have now upgraded my DM800 from Gemini 4.7 to 5.1 (second stage loader 75 to 76).
I'm very pleased to tell you that my DVB_S2_Tuner now works 

During the installation detected that it was a Dreambox 800/800se.
When I tried beforde the upgrade it said "MIPSel (old libc) System detected"

Thanks for your support!

[Sundtek]

It was probably too old and missing the dualtuner support so it used the generic drivers. But good to know maybe we should add a version-check and tell the user about that in the future.

Hello, tried to install the driver. I can tune all DVB-C channels, but I can see the free channels only. Does this tuner works with CI module with smart card to decrypt channels?
I have ClarkTech ET9000, PLI firmware, SMiT Conax chipset pairing CAM, UPC smart card (Czech). Thank you. Ales

[Sundtek]

Hello,

this works with some settopboxes (VU+ was working on this some time ago), if possible can you post this in the clarketech forum?
Technically it should be possible to use it of course.
This is a little bit out of our hands since this is done in the proprietary clarketech drivers.
