Setup

Remark: My frontend is in german language, so don't worry if the words in this paragraph are not exactly the same as on your screen.

Following worked for me: precondition:

• working DVB-S card (tested with mplayer, dvbstream, ...)
• channels.conf from mplayer

workflow:

• sux - mythtv (just my way to change the user)
• run mythtv-setup
• add dvb-s card, as card type i used: DVB DTV TV-Card (v3.x)
• as Frontend ID there should be some autodetected text, here it is ST STV0299 DVB-S
• Don't forget to set DiSEqC, i set to Universal (Europe)
• For video source i used Transmitted guide only (EIT)
• point 5 on main page of mythtv-setup is something like configure sender
• first i searched for senders (its Sendersuchlauf in german)
• as scantype i used read channels.conf, i used an generated channels.conf for mplayer. Maybe i used scan command from dvb-utils package. It's necessary to tell mythtv which transponders are there
• as result i got entries like br(512)(dvb-s). Unfortunately they are wrong and i only got a blank screen when i tried to watch using mythfrontend.
• Next you should delete the found senders.
• select again scan for senders (Sendersuchlauf)
• use full scan of all known transponders
• know mythtv-setup found the correct settings
• after exit of mythtv-setup, starting of mythbackend and mythfrontend i was able to watch live dvb-s tv.
