I'm in Washington State USA and have Mythbuntu set up running "HDhomeRun" usb qam Tuners. I tried adding a "Skywalker 1" USB DVB-S tuner to it, but got lost. I shut mybuntu down, and switched to a new hard drive and installed yavdr64-0.5.0a.iso. I noticed there was a "Fatal Error" the first time the first install rebooted but wasn't able to read it because it continued booting past it. I have just rebooted my second attemp and was able to read "fatal: error inserting vesafb (/lib/modules/3.2.9-44-generic/initrd/vesafb.ko): no such device" Ive' got very little experience with linux and am frustrated but determined.
I think the error is because I have an onboard ATI HD 4200 Video that is unrecognized. There is a PCI-E nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ installed hooked 32" lcd tv via DVI to HDMI. The Bios is set to Prioritize PCI-E and I can see the bios post. I have a black screen with FTP and Telnet access.
Question 1. Could somebody please give me the detailed commands to tell the Yavdvr to install and use the GeForce?
Question 2. The Guide I'm following has me confused. I'm not at this point again yet. But last install I pasted the Red Lines. I understand the first and last commands but would appreciate and example and some instructions. My info is below the giude
type nano scan.sh
Copy and paste the
following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
#!/bin/bash
# Backup
channels.conf in case it exists
if [ -f channels.conf ]; then mv channels.conf channels.conf.bak; fi
# Scan for channels
./nscan 0 12516 r20000 1 9 2 5 0 > chantemp
./nscan 1 12516 r20000 1 9 2 5 0 >> chantemp
./nscan 2 12457 r21500 2 9 2 5 0 >> chantemp
# Sort, order, and renumber channels for vdr
sort -t: -k10 -n chantemp > chantemp2
cat chantemp2| while read line
do
CHANNUM=`echo "$line" | cut -d':' -f10`
echo ":@$CHANNUM" >> channels.conf
echo "$line" >> channels.conf
done
# Cleanup files
rm chantemp*

Ok now here is where
we need to address your lnb setup
usage: nscan
diseqc-port freq pol sr mod fec bandstacked
tuner_timeout debug_level
freq - transponder frequency [ex.12423]
pol - polarity [v,h,r,l]
sr - symbol rate [ex. 20000]
mod - modulation [1=QPSK,2=Turbo-8PSK, 3=Turbo-QAM16]
fec - FEC [0=none, 1=1/2, 2=2/3, 3=3/4, 4=4/5, 5=5/6, 6=6/7, 7=7/8, 8=8/9, 9=auto, 10=3/5, 11=9/10]
bandstacked - 2=DishPro, 1=linear, 0=everythign else
tuner timeout - timeout in seconds (3 is usually good)
debug level - 0=none, 1=tuning, 2=everything
Notice the 2 after the fec spec. This sets up your lnb if you are using DishPro 2 is appropriate if using circular
that 2 would becomea 0. Make sure that you set up the scanner with the proper settings otherwise you will
not be able to scan anything.
Once this is done you will hit ctrl-x to saveand exit.
Now we must change
the permissions on the file to make it executable we will be using the command
chmod, at the promptyou will type this
chmod 755 scan.sh
I have a "SUPER 110 118 119 129 HD DISH 1000 PLUS SATELLITE LNB" similar to ebay item #380304315922
The 3 lnbs are hooked to sw44 with power insert.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
