Just need to connect a DVB/S2 USB device and align my cable dish to Galaxy 19. Everything was installed using the install script from the main website for Raspian OS.
I also purchased a compatible wifi dongle and will be using my BananaPi box as a wifi access point. I accessed the Librarian software using a web browser over the network.
Very nice work, I can’t wait to use the dish and tuner to get data now!
PCTV 461e - HD satellite TV receiver from the Hauppauge website for $69 plus shipping.
Waiting for it to arrive in the mail, then a relative and I are going to tune an old DirecTV dish. Kuband LNB capable. Just need to pitch it to 97W Galaxy19 - I have Sattfinder app on my android phone and probably a compass.
If I have issues with LNB I can always get a kuband one for my dish. Seen a few on Ebay. I will let you know how it works out in about a week or so.
I went to Lemaker’s website and got their Raspian OS for BananaPi and then installed it onto a 32 gb SD card. Updated Rasbian to the latest kernel with the update/upgrade commands.
Then, I ran your install scripts for Rasbian from Outernets main website and it installed everything nicely for me. I’m kind of surprised it even loads the firmwares for the DVB tuners. Cool, makes everything that much easier.
461e is currently not supported on Raspbian. You should try Arch Linux instead (I saw in Lemaker’s wiki that it’s supported). Iirc, you will need kernel 3.14 or newer for it, so even on Arch, kernel upgrade is required. Install is more or less the same as for Raspbian. If you wish to stick to Raspbian, you can probably compile a newer kernel.
This one is specifically for the bananapi and comes with three OS’s and 2 types of kernel choices. Going to try Debian (3.19.0 Kernel) first. Since Raspbian is based on debian I figured It would be much more compatible.
Installed on Debian 7 (Wheezy). Used the Raspbian install script and it auto installed everything. Checked the local ip im broadcasting on and was able to use the software.
The kernel version this distro is using is. 3.19.0
Firmwares installed, next step is to test out the PCTV 461e tuner.
I may need to pitch the dish I have and see what I can do. Possibly have to order a kuband lnb if this one has any issues. We’ll see how it works out. Fun stuff…
