[mythtvnz] Sky TV Out on Motorola DTH320

[Grant Kavanagh]

Agreed re TV-Out-TV-In but already using the Composite out on Sky to go to TV, can not find a SCART to 7pin S-Video which is what is on the HP4000 so that only leaves me coax which is free on both the STB and the HP4000.
 
Tried changing SKY UHF channel from 38 to 69. Set up analogue card again set as Television. Created in dummy video source with no grabber. Linked  [V4L:/dev/video0] (Television) to SKY video source and set 'Preset tuner to channel' to 69. just for safe measure I did a scan set to new Zealand and it found 100% signal on channel 69. Saved and started TV. Get a blank screen on channel 69 then it drops back to the menu. On occasions I get static but that is rare.
 
Thanks for the Sky UHF change thought though Steve.

	I think I may be stupid so here is your chance.
	
	I have the above STB and have connected coax to TV-Out and plugged into a TV. Told TV to scan and it finds the currently selected Sky Channel playing. As one would expect.
	
	Remove from TV and connect to TV IN on Hauppauge 4000 card.
	


Why are you using TV-Out -> TV-In rather than a composite connection (Video out to Aux in or whatever Hauppauge calls it)? You'll certainly get better quality that way, and if your problem is due to tuning you could solve that as well.
 

	Configure Analogue Capture Card with default Input of Television
	Created dummy Video Source and called it Sky with no listings Grabber and default channel frequency
	Under Input Connections I select the Analogue Card / Television and add the video source 'Sky' I created earlier
	Set the preset Tuner to Channel to 3
	Did a SCAN Channels with it set to Try-All. I get back three hits.
	
	Once I have completed all this I restart the front end and go to watch TV. Get my normal SAT Free view channels. When I change to one of the newly discovered channels which should have com in over the Coax from the STB decoded from Sky I get static.
	
	This shouldn't be this hard as  I know there is a viable signal there as proved by connecting directly to a TV and doing a scan. I am just trying to do the first stage prior to moving to an IR Blaster. The rest of the country can do it so where my friends am I going wrong. I am positive I am missing the blindingly obvious. I have been at this for a couple of days now an I am just going around in circles.
	
	I thought it may have something to do with the transport frequencies you can manually set but I have no idea what that freq could be for the Motorola DTH320 TV Out port.
	


You might be right. I believe you can set which channel TV-Out uses in the Sky setup pages.
 
Cheers,
Steve
