Tevii S650 DVB-S2 diseqc problem

Tevii S650 DVB-S2 diseqc problem

[svankan]

Hello!

I just bought a Tevii S650 DVB-S2 card and I have a few questions.

My server have Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 with a custom kernel and drivers and tools
compiled from these sources.
http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/szap-s2
http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin/

The scan-s2 utility only find channels from latest used transponder in VDR
and diseqc does not work. It took me many hours to have VDR working with
Tevii S650 because my old diseqc.conf did not work with this card.

When I have a skystar2 or a Hauppauge FF rev 2.1 I can use this config.

Old diseqc.conf

Can this diseqc “problem” cause the scan-s2 tool to fail too?
Why do I need to change the diseqc.conf in VDR?

Because of this problem I have to manually include all HD-channels to
channels.conf. I have tried to follow the README for scan-s2 and tried
different options. My old cards work with scan-s2 and diseqc. To be sure I
downloaded the latest drivers from www.tevii.com and extracted the
firmware from windows drivers but with the same result.
Linux driver is from 2008-08-15
Windows driver is released 2009-01-22

similar problem?

VDR 1.7.4 works very good with the new diseqc.conf so the card is NOT broken.
Any suggestions?

you should indicate in ini file the rolloff = 35 because cx24116 doesn't support rolloff = auto 
fresh correct ini files for scan-s2 with rolloff = 35 you can download from here

Thank you for the answer Frank!

Can you please provide an example when you use scan-s2? I have a dual boot
for Windows and as far as I remember there were some problems with diseqc
in dvbviewer also. My dish is 25 meters away from the computer but signal
is very good.

Windows softwares are like that with new cards but they usually get
supported when the card becomes
popular. My dish is even farther that yours, i live in six floor
apartment building with over 100 apartments we all
share four dishes so every apartment is satellite ready.

One thing that i hate about this card is scanning for channels, i
think it doesn't support AUTO scanning
for initial transponders.
For that we have to use scan-s2 with -X option and you need
transponder files from
http://joshyfun.peque.org/transponders/kaffeine.html
before you start scanning edit you transponder files and remove
transponders that you don't need, stuff like feeds, beams that you
can't receive
because it takes allot of time. Every transponders that wont lock it
scan as dvb-s and then it will rescan as dvb-s2.

scan-s2 -a 1 -s 3 -t 1 -p -X ../ini/astra > test.conf
-a 1= adaptern 1
-s 3 = diseqc input 4 (Astra 19E)
-t 1 = Service TV only
-p   = for vdr output format: dump provider name
-X  = Disable AUTOs for initial transponders (esp. for hardware which
        not support it). Instead try each value of any free parameters.

It works!!! I appreciate your help and I hope the card is stable to use.

Tevii S650 DVB-S2 diseqc problem

[Magnus Andersson]

Hello!

I just bought a Tevii S650 DVB-S2 card and I have a few questions.

My server have Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 with a custom kernel and drivers and tools 
compiled from these sources. 
http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/szap-s2

The scan-s2 utility only find channels from latest used transponder in vdr. It 
took me many hours to have vdr working with Tevii S650 because my old 
diseqc.conf did not work with this card.

When I have a skystar2 or a Hauppauge FF rev 2.1 I can use this config.
