« on: January 27, 2008, 10:12:56 pm »
Hello,

I've installed LMCE with my capturing device Technisat Sky Star 2 and had no luck of getting it to work, could somebody please tell me how should I make it to work in my new HTPC system.

 Hi tushi,

 log in to the host that holds the systar II and install dvb-utils ( sudo apt-get install dvb-utils )

 then use the scan command as follow:

 scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Hotbird-13.0E > channels.conf
( i use Hotbird and i had to make chages to this file looking at the frequencies ont my set top box, change this according to the satellite you need )


 this should give you some output and let you know whether your hard setup is fine.

 after this you can import the file into myhtv setup or vdr

 if not let me know your output.

 hope to help,

Rafik

Thanks a lot for the reply, it worked like a charm, now, when I stream to a channel it playes only for few seconds and it freezes, first I thought the resolution was set to high then I lowered it to medium but I get the same results, is there a workaround?
