As promised Martin and Sub, attached is a dvbs5-scan of Astra 28.2 carried out on Hauppauge HVR4000 pci card. If you need anything further on this let me know

Thanks a lot, I thought you probably were the same user. Sub should be able to get a full mux on 11778000 but nothing in there for Freesat. I don't think there is any FTA on it.

If you copy one of those on 11778 to 11426 for CHANGEDID and change the polarization to HORIZONTAL then run

dvbv5-zap -c dvb_channels.conf CHANGEDID -P -t 60 -o fullmux.ts

can you see if that file has PIDs 3002 and 3003. Or possibly send a link to the file and we can run it through the new Freesat processor.

Martin

Have a quick look at that. Is that any more informative

Thanks but no it is still missing all the FTA channels before. FREQUENCY = 11778000

To make scanning easier only 11426 and 11778 need to be in the input conf.

For OpenTV I do see this now which I expect might be useful if sub didn't do a full mux but it still needs the BAT

Personally I think dvbv5-scan is a little suspect. Do you have access to scan_cpp as outlined here https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/W_scan_cpp

NextPVR uses libdvbv5.so so that won't help. It does distribute a newer version that some distros have with are compatible with older distros though. If we can get a full mux from a crafted conf file that will be good enough

Martin

Ok. I've attached an updated scan of Astra 28.2. I think you'd need a blind scan of the satellite to interrogate it fully. The only card that I'm aware that does a genuine blind scan is the TBS which I don't have access to. If interested you'll find details here https://github.com/deeptho/neumodvb

Still nothing under 11778. The point of this wasn't to get the dvbv5-scan to work (I can't explain why you aren't getting scan lower frequencies) but to get the configuration files to distribute with NextPVR so no scanning would be needed for the EPG frequencies with the assumption being they aren't just spot beams. There's probably enough there extrapolate, a full mux doesn't need PID's etc.

Martin

You said Sub could get a full mux for 11778 in Post #2 above. Yes or No. Freesat is the brand name of the package. The same EPG info plus the additional channels EPG info is broadcast on 11778 in OpenTV EPG. I've attached another scan to explain this. Sit back and let Sub examine this and if he needs any further info he can request this.

Thanks, that is a better scan it now includes 11425 for the Freesat EPG and there is enough info in other logs for 11788. 11788 is not a superset there are some that appear in Freesat only so both are needed. It is also needed for compatibility with of the CRID for existing Windows users.
