1) Have OpenViX Helios 003 running on your STB.
2) Have a terrestrial tuner attached to your STB (internal or USB)
3) have or willing to install Skype to help with debugging (only if a chat session is needed)
4) Have the time to help debug.

anyone with terrestrial technical knowledge would greatly be appreciated, but is not necessary for the beta testing.

Andy,
As soon as a build for the GB Quad Plus (2x DVB-T tuners) is available I will be able to help. In Ireland, with reception from two different Saorview transmitters - south Dublin, north Wicklow. Extensive experience with DVB-T including ability to dump EIT stream data.

 

[andyblac]

ok guy's,

what i need for none UK is your provider info if you can find it, ie the name and the main transponder frequency.

i have just fixed a small issue, so you will need to update to 006 once it is built, for uk once 004 is online i will post a test provider xml

please PM your skype ID.

sorry, been busy, for those of you in UK please try attached file, it will only scan SD channels, we are still working on HD.

please and post your results.

Where does this file need to be saved to?

 

[Peterj]

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/systemplugins/autobouqetsmaker/providers

Ok. I've unpacked and copied the .xml file to the folder above and tried a scan, but get a No area found error. I've configured providers with Freeview (UK): yes. All sub options are also set to yes. I'll post up a log shortly.

Oddly, a complete manual scan fails to find any channels. It seems to only check channel 41 for some reason. If I set the manual scan to scan a single transponder, and set the channel to 23, then it finds some channels.

Helios build 7 btw.

Edit: Hmmm. Can't find the log file. Any ideas?

make sure you have updated to 008, then re-setup FreeView (UK)

 

[chaser]

Updated to build 8 and updated freeview area to Durris. All other freeview (uk) options set to yes.
Now I get a timeout for tuner lock error. Logs have repeated tuning and failed errors.

This is what I get too, set to Sutton Coldfield area.

guy's make sure you are using the new provider, you can remove the old one, you should now be able to set areas. if you still get issues.

tune to BBC1, and give me your debug logs.

looking for this info.

bandwidth: 8000000
code_rate_lp: 0
code_rate_hp: 1
constellation: 2
transmission_mode: 1
guard_interval: 0
hierarchy_information: 0
inversion: 0
system: 0
frequency: 770000000

also need your tranmitter name.

Not sure what you mean when asking us to use the new provider and remove the old one?

I've updated Helios to build 10 and copied the provider xml from this thread to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers

Is that what you want us to do?

Having done that, I'm still getting the same 'timeout for tuner lock' error. As mentioned previously, I'm on the Durris transmitter, and have set this up in the AutoBouquetMaker config screen. All other Freeview (UK) setting options are still set to yes.

I'm not finding any channels, so I'm not able to tune to BBC1 to get you the debug logs.

no, the version in helios it the one you need to use.

if after try that, do a full scan, then tune to bbc1 and give your debug log.

ok. now using the version in helios. same problem with timeout for tuner lock.

for some reason I can't do a full (manual/complete) scan. when i try a full scan it only appears to scan channel 47???

I can manually scan individual channels, and have scanned channel 28 which has BBC1.

Debug log attached.
