I don't know!Īs I mentioned above I had already installed dvb-apps on my Ubuntu Pi where TVheadend is also installed. I wonder does TVHeadend use that file to populate its Muxes tab with an initial list of transponders to tune in channels from? Or maybe TVHeadend still has its own separate list baked in to the source code? I know that when I make changes to the MUXes in TVH they do NOT update /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E so maybe TVH does not use it after all. It contains a list of the transponders on that satellite.

In the meantime I see there is a file on my Ubuntu Server where I have installed TVHeadend called: I want to give dvb-apps a try and another useful tool called openTVToXML which can read OpenTV EPG from Satellite MUX and put it in XMLTV compatible format.īut I currently CANNOT because my satellite tuners are on an enigma2 box (ZgemmaH7S) and its Linux OS is so minimal its package manager doesn't have dvb-apps or tools needed to set up a build environment so I can compile dvb-apps from sources! when I use an enigma2 image such as OpenATV I can quickly update the list of Astra 28.2E transponders (MUXes) by downloading a satellites.xml file from cuphead

That look promising but I think I read elsewhere that modifying these files won't make a difference because the transponder info is hard-coded in to the TVHeadend binary.

It looks like there may be a file with Transponder (MUX) info in the TVHeadend installation folder: /usr/share/tvheadend/data/conf/ in files called: "satellites" and "fastscan". Is it possible to do the same thing in TVHeadend or do I need to go in to TVH > Configuration > DVB Inputs > MUXes and painstakingly update each MUX manually? I can then place that file in /etc/enigma2 and then use the OpenATV interface to scan channels on that updated list of satellite transponders.

when I use an enigma2 image such as OpenATV I can quickly update the list of Astra 28.2E transponders (MUXes) by downloading a satellites.xml file from This was asked years ago but I want to check again please in case anything has changed.
