Hey,
I'd really appreciate some help getting my DVB-S2 card setup. I've bought a TBS 6981 for my 12.0 XBMC system.
I"ve installed MediaPortal as that's what the majority of people seem to favour but I'm unsure of where I need to go next.
I've gone into configuration and under TV Servers. I see XBMC then have 4 options.
1 DVB-IP MediaPortal IPTV Source Filter
2 DVB-S TBS6981 BDA DVBS/S2
3 DVB-S TBS6981 BDA DVBS/S2
4 Radio Webstream Card (builtin)

Now I'm assuming I go to 2 then there is a serious of options I have
Sat
#1
#2
#3
#4
If I tick sat 1 I get some more options DiSEqC, Band, Satellite
What do I put? Here is where I'm hitting a block as I dont know what to choose to scan for.
Can anyone help?

Many thanks

Depends on what satellites you are interested in and your dish setup really, but I'll take a guess and say freesat?
If so you want to set diseq to none (assuming you only have one lnb on your dish) leave the band on its default (something like Ku universal) and pick the astra 28.2e
You only need to set this for sat 1, leave the rest unticked.
Now scan for channels on one of the cards, once its found them go into mappings and map all the channels to the other tuner (assuming you have identical feeds to each tuner)

To use media portal with xbmc you need the plugin from margro; http://www.scintilla.utwente.nl/~marcelg...rxbmc.html

Install that and enable it in the mediaportal configuration tool, then you should be able to connect.

There is quite a bit of info over at the media portal wiki if you get stuck.

Oh and this is the wrong section for help requests, you should check here; http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=167 Wink
