TV Headend and Fritzbox 6490

Help and Support
1

Hi, i used to use some Raspberry Pi 3b with ocms and AVM Repeater DVB-C as tuner in the past.
Worked like a charm.
Now my Internet comes by cable tv and i am using a Fritzbox 6490 cable, it has 4 DVB-C tuners, that work with my PC and my smartphone.
So i installed a fresh version of OSMC at the Raspberry Pi 3b and wanted to set up TV Headend, but it is showing NO DVB-C tuners, i found some solutions for only showing 2 tuners, but it finds none.
Tried all older available versions of osmc, no success, tried a backup of my old install, also no success.
someone had the same issue before or a good idea ?

Update, installed my AVM Fritz DVB-C Repeater, and it found the 2 tuners, but i wanna use those of the Fritzbox 6490 cable.

For information the 6489 has FRITZ!OS 7.57

So, have you activated Live TV on the 6490 and searched for new channels? Fernsehempfang über DVB-C mit FRITZ!Box einrichten | FRITZ!Box 6490 Cable

I don’t own a 6490 but only the AVM DVB-C repeaters; most possible I cannot help here.

For sure, i am using the 6490 to watch TV on my PC for a longer time, there is no need to run a repeater right now, i just installed one yesterday for the test, is Tv Headend finds the repeaters tuners.
Maybe there is the chance to set up the path to the 6490 in a config file ?

I only vaguely remember something like that; but that would only be necessary if the 6490 and the OSMC device weren’t on the same IP network. Is that the case for you?

Added info:

So, in case the 6490 with its satip server isn’t in the same network, in theory:

  • you’ll find the tvheadend start params in /lib/systemd/system/tvheadend.service
  • if you append soemthing like --satip_xml http://192.168.178.190:49000/satipdesc.xml where 192.168.178.190 is the ipv4 of your 6490, this should let tvheadend try to communicate with the device even it’s not in the same network. Hopefully, satipdesc.xmlis the right landing page for the 6490, too.

Its same network, the 6490 has 192.168.10.1 the raspberry pi has 192.168.10.187, dhcp range is from 192.168.10.20 till 192.168.10.120

Then parm satip_xmlshould not be necessary. But you can ping the 6490 from the OSMC device? traceroute shows the OSMC device can directly access the 6490 router?

Perhaps, the 6490 requires to know the static ipv4 of the OSMC device
