LMCE uses mythtv as media player and some people use DVB cards as input in Mythtv.
+
−
(I will write a tuto for vdr if i manage to put my hands on vdr wrappers.)
+
−
 
+
−
There are different types of DVB cards they differ in the kind of signal / band / compression algorythms and some have mpeg decoders that allow the card to process all the video so the processor is free to do the rest on your host.
+
−
 
+
−
- The DVB-S cards are used to receive satellite signals K Band / PSK QPSK 8PSK etc...
+
−
- The DVB-T cards are used to receive terestrial signals VHF/UHF
+
−
- The DVB-C cards are used to receive coaxial cable tv
+
−
 
+
−
Those cards should work with lmce as long as they are supported by the Linux kernel.
+
−
+
−
First check dmesg | grep dvb should tell you if the card is seen properly and also tell you wich device the card uses (/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 and so forth.)
+
−
 
+
−
In order to use the card you will need to scan for channels.
+
−
 
+
−
To do so you will need to install dvb-utils packages:
+
−
 
+
−
sudo apt-get install dvb-utils
+
−
 
+
−
sudo scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-19.2 >channels.conf
+
−
 
+
−
If you dont want any radio or encrypted channels:
+
−
 
+
−
sudo scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-19.2 -x0 -t1 >channels.conf
+
−
 
+
−
If you are getting to few channels:
+
−
 
+
−
sudo scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-19.2 -x0 -t1 -n >channels.conf
+
−
+
−
 
+
−
Hint: if you can't get any signal lock try to get the frequencies looking on your tv or satellite receiver then input them in the /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/../..........
+
−
 
+
−
You can even make your own file copying the model in the dvb-x category.
+
−
 
+
−
Once you have populated the channels.conf file you can setup mythtv tu use your card
+
−
(mythtv will tell you if it sees the DVB card)
+
−
 
+
−
Then in the channel scan section use the channels.conf method and put the path to your file.
+
−
 
+
−
If mythtv finishes the scan then you can fire up your MD to watch tv.
+
−
 
+
−
Please feel free to drop suggestions if you feel something is wrong here.
