en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
Package configuration
Current default time zone: 'Asia/Taipei'
Local time is now: Tue Feb 4 14:52:15 CST 2014.
Universal Time is now: Tue Feb 4 06:52:15 UTC 2014.
All set up now! Thanks for using Raspbmc.
And may I kindly advise you to read the Wiki if you have issues
Note, you still need to configure your locales in XBMC

All config of Tvheadend is done through a web interface. You will need to connect to it with a web browser. On a default install of Raspbmc you can type http://raspbmc:9981 in the address bar of a computer on the same network, otherwise you will need to know the IP address of the Pi and can enter http://<IP of Pi>:9981 when it asks for a username and password just click ok.

How to Update Transponder list in TVheadend?

The DVB locations are currently "hardcoded" into the compiled binary of tvheadend. So updating your initial tuning files will not "automagically" make them appear in tvheadend. With each official release these lists are updated with an script to convert the initial tuning files to a "source file" that is part of the tvheadend source code.

There are bugs/feature request already filed that are aiming to change this hardcoded data to something like what you were already expecting.

But you can manually add at least one transponder you need, and then tvheadend will find all the related transponders if this information is correctly broad-casted. If not all the transponders that you need are found, you can continue manually adding them until you have all that are needed. Currently it is not advised to have a large numbers of transponders listed because that might negatively impact the performance of the GUI (not of tvheadend it self)

An other more complicated method is making your own binary with the details included in that binary by updating the correct files in the thveadend source code (manually of via the conversion script)

tvheadend -f

14. Once in the TV Headend Control panel do this:

Go to configuration→ General
Enter en for the default language
Enter /usr/share/dvb into the ‘DVB Scan Files path.
Go to configuration -> TV Adapters and select a TV Adapter.
Set the "NIT-o Network ID". Apparently, you can find that in your provider's manual. I took a guess and for my TinyUSB2 I used ‘0’.
Ensure "Autodetect muxes" and "Idle scanning" are ticked.
Then select "Add DVB Network by location" – this will add Muxes from a known database
Click "save"
Tvheadend will now start to detect multiplexes and services. Wait for "Muxes awaiting initial scan" to become 0.
Now click "Map DVB Services to channels". TVheadend will now try to open each channel and will add each channel that can be opened.
Repeat this process for other adapters if you have them.

15. In XBMC, go to Settings → Live TV → General → Enable it
16. Choose ‘Tvheadend HTSP Client’ as the server and enable it. Allow the channels to be detected by XBMC and then try watching TV.

szap-s2 -- simple zapping tool for the Linux DVB S2 API

szap-s2 requires Linux DVB driver API version 5.0.

If compiler not found DVB headers in ../s2/linux/include/linux/dvb,
then it looks at usual location /usr/include/linux/dvb.

Install as follows:

(Option) make
make install
Uninstall
make uninstall

location of channel list file is ~/.szap/channels.conf

one line of the szap channel file has the following format:
name:frequency_MHz:polarization[coderate][delivery][modulation][rolloff]:sat_no:symbolrate:vpid:apid:service_id
one line of the VDR channel file has the following format:
name:frequency_MHz:polarization[coderate][delivery][modulation][rolloff]:sat_no:symbolrate:vpid:apid:?:?:service_id:?:?:?

usage:
szap -q
list known channels
szap [options] {-n channel-number|channel_name}
zap to channel via number or full name (case insensitive)
-a number : use given adapter (default 0)
-f number : use given frontend (default 0)
-d number : use given demux (default 0)
-c file : read channels list from 'file'
-V : use vdr channels list file format (default zap)
-b : enable Audio Bypass (default no)
-x : exit after tuning
-H : human readable output
-D : params debug
-r : set up /dev/dvb/adapterX/dvr0 for TS recording
-l lnb-type (DVB-S Only) (use -l help to print types) or
-l low[,high[,switch]] in Mhz
-i : run interactively, allowing you to type in channel names
-p : add pat and pmt to TS recording (implies -r)
or -n numbers for zapping
-S : delivery system type DVB-S=0, DVB-S2=1
-M : modulation 1=BPSK 2=QPSK 5=8PSK
-C : fec 0=NONE 12=1/2 23=2/3 34=3/4 35=3/5 45=4/5 56=5/6 67=6/7 89=8/9 910=9/10 999=AUTO
-O : rolloff 35=0.35 25=0.25 20=0.20 0=UNKNOWN

4, Scan for the channels you can receive

mkdir ~/.{a,c,s,t}szap
(dvb)scan /path_to_the_initial_scan_file > ~/.{a,c,s,t}szap/channels.conf

5... Tune a frequency and program

$ /usr/bin/{a,c,s,t}szap -r -c ~/.{a,c,s,t}szap/channels.conf "channel name"

6. After you've tuned a frequency and program

a) You could now start up your simple TV watching application and decode the stream you have tuned.

For example, while keeping {a,c,s,t}zap running in the first console shell, open up another console and run

mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 <options>
