Setting up Mux(es)
#1
Hi,

Where I live isn't in the list of locations in the tvheadend website.

Also, I can't find the frequency of any of the local stations listed in kHz, so I decided to try a little detective work. I added the mux(es) for Lansing, Michigan; which is listed and then visited Listing of channels for Lansing Michigan

According to that webpage the lowest RF channel for a tv station that I should be able to receive in Lansing was channel 10. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Amer...s#UHF_band channel 10 should be 192 to 198 kHz, but the lowest frequency in the prepopulated list for Lansing is 617 MHz.

Any idea what values I should be plugging in here? I can easily find the RF channels for the local channels here, but not their frequencies. Also, do you know how to determine the modulation?

Thanks,
Eric

When you create a network in TVHeadEnd, in the "Pre-defined Muxes" dropdown select United States: us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB. That will populate the Muxes page with all the frequencies for over-the-air channels used in the USA. You can then delete any Muxes frequencies that are not used in your area. One of the frequencies will be between 192 and 198 mHz (not kHz, that would be below AM radio frequencies), that's your channel 10.

It looks really helpful. Unfortunately he's using a newer version of tvheadend than the version that came preinstalled on kodibuntu. I have 3.4.28. He has 3.9.2496.

I've added the repositories shown on https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend...Repository, but when I look for tvheadend in Synaptics Package Manager it just shows 3.4.28.

Here's my sources.list:

1. You don't need all of those sources - pick the one you want (stable, testing or master). Stable will probably do as it's... well, stable

2. Make sure you do a sudo apt-get update (or whatever the equivalent is from within Synaptic)

3. If you still don't get 4.0 (4.0.7 at the moment, I think), post the output of apt-cache policy tvheadend, please

If you're using ATSC, by the way, tvheadend supports OTA EPG as of 4.2, which is going into feature lock now - or it's available through the master repository.

I saw the following nwhen doing an apt-get update so I installed apt-transport-https, it didn't help.

E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?

Here's what I see when I an do an apt-cache policy tvheadend:

and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade doesn't get the package? What's the output if you run that?

Or, if you want to *only* upgrade tvheadend, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tvheadend - that will upgrade if it's already installed (which it is - otherwise, it would install it).

The only other thing I can think of is that you still have the old repository defined - apt-cache policy suggests that shouldn't matter, but you may want to comment out that PPA (http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/). If it's not in /etc/apt/sources.list, it'll be in a file below /etc/apt/sources.list.d. Comment it out, re-run apt-get update and see if you can now upgrade or install.

apt-get dist-upgrade will force those packages in. You'll get a kernel upgrade at the same time, by the look of it, as well as a Kodi upgrade. Back up your Kodi userdata folder if you're unsure - as well as your tvh settings, as there are significant changes between 3.4 and 4.0. You will need to do some manual reconfiguring once you're running.

Not sure why the packages are being held back, though...changed dependencies somewhere in the mix that need better conflict resolution, I suspect.
