Installation on a Dreambox settopbox

[matt]

Hi,

I have DM800HD se. I use the newest firmware from Newnigma2.
If I buy DVB-S card, will that work that I can record one channel and watch another one?

The How-To is for DVB-C and DVB-T, but I can see someone tried to run DVB-S too...?

We tested DVB-S/S2 it works with the Dreambox and various other settopboxes.

It can be used to extend the settopboxes to dual or triple DVB-S/S2 tuners

Hello all,

dreambox DM800Se with usb pro stick is very slow with zapping, with every channel spinner in the screen of the television 

Flashed the receiver with the latest Pli and drivers for my sundtek stick

Any idea what i can do to let it work how it did before ?

[Sundtek]

Did you replug the USB device after installing the latest driver?

[dwaas]

replug ? no i did not.....

so if i understand - unplug the usb device and then install the latest driver with the sundtek plugin before replug the device ?

i will try this, thanx 

[Sundtek]

With the latest driver there was a firmware update introduced, this requires to replug the device after installing the driver.

[dwaas]

did not work for me here

unplug the device and installed the driver -> reboot de dreambox and plugged the Sundtek stick back in.
the stick works but very slow .....

If you can contact us via Skype (sundtek) we might figure out what's wrong with your setup.

[dwaas]

I will try that at the end of next week 

thanx for your reply

Last weekend I've tried to install the "Sundtek MediaTV Pro (DVB-CT, Radio, AnalogTV)" on a VU+Duo with OpenPli 2.1 with the last updates. I've used your installation manual (see link). The VU+Duo sees the tuner, but thinks it's a DVB-T tuner. But I need the DVB-C tuner.

What am I doing wrong?

[Sundtek]

Did you run the DVB_C_Tuner_starten.sh script?

[RonH]

Did you run the DVB_C_Tuner_starten.sh script?

I'm starting to doubt wether I ran the DVB_T_Tuner by mistake. I've run the DVB_Tuner_kein_autostart.sh now, followed by DVB_C_Tuner_autostart.sh
I'm not at home at the moment (Just could make an ssh shell to the box from work). I'll give it a try when I'm back home, and let you know.

Thanks for the quick support!

[RonH]

I've run the DVB_Tuner_kein_autostart.sh to clear the DVB-T tuner autostart. Then I ran the DVB_C_Tuner_autostart.sh to enable the DVB-C tuner. But after a reboot the box still says it has: TunerC: Sundtek MediaTV Digital Home (USDVB-T (DVB-T)
And not DVB-C ...

Do I really have to powercycle the box to get it right?

[RonH]

It works now. I also had a thread on the OpenPli forum and there they adviced me to make a sundtek.conf in the /etc folder. And the sundtek.conf looks like this:

[serial_sundtek]
initial_dvb_mode=DVBC
dreambox_support_fe1=on

The serial can be retrieved by: /opt/bin/mediaclient -e
And now the VU+Duo sees the tuner as a DVB-C tuner!

[Sundtek]

DVB_C_Tuner_autostart.sh

only means to autostart the tuner after the reboot

DVB_C_Tuner_starten.sh

means immediately start E2 with DVB-C tuner support

In case you started the first script only it's understandable that nothing happened since it just deploys the autostart scripts
