Re: DVB-T2 device in France

Hi Nicolas,

per specs channel scan is not inteded for the SAT>IP servers, this is client's responsibility.

VDR doesn't provide an active channel scan option, so don't blame and point just the plugin, which does run awesome stable here since spring 2014.

VDR does provide a passive channel scan, only caveat you need at least one working line in channels.conf. If you have that, go to OSD / Setup / DVB and set "Update channels:" to "add new transponders" (setup.conf / UpdateChannels = 5). After some time of patience you should find a properly filled channels.conf, ready to be sorted.

Cheers
Frank

Betreff: Re:  DVB-T2 device in France

Thanks for all your answers !

I finally opted for the Digital Devices Octopus Net, which DVT-T2 tuners are equipped with Sony D2837ER demodulators, which happen to completely solve the bad reception issue. Great !

Now I have a whole new set of problems : SAT>IP (with the satip plugin which seems to be great, and channel scan which is as of now non-solved ; too bad the Octopus couldn't channel-scan by itself and provide an initial channel.conf or VLC playlist) and Raspberry Pi client which is a bit tricky (power issues, media player, disappointingly weak CEC support on the TV side, etc...).

At least, I can upgrade the VDR server without breaking the DVB kernel drivers, and upgrade the VDR client without breaking X.org or xinelib ;-)
