    Hi,


    Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.


    I've setup a Jellyfin server - and added a Saorview TVheadend source to it recently (dvb-t) works great.

    Got me thinking about using an old sky dish on the house, previously used with Sky digital, and for a short time worked great with an amiko alien 2 box. Then we just stopped using it. 

    Fast forward to now - and I've installed OpenATV on the AA2 box, and have tvheadend running on it. I attached one of the satelitte feeds to it, and tried scanning Astra 28.2e using

    rate2750000

    polarizationH

    modulationAuto

    fec2/3


    I get the below output from the cli

    2022-10-17 17:42:09.283 [  INFO] mpegts: 11428H in freesat - tuning on Tuner2-Sat #0 : DVB-S #2

    2022-10-17 17:42:19.686 [ ERROR] diseqc: failed to set toneburst (e=Operation not supported)


    but no channels found. The dish in question has a quad LNB - and 1 feed to the front (I removed one awhile a go) which I'm using and 2 to the back (but there is no ethernet there).


    Any advice before I source a 10m cat5 to enable me to move the box temporarily to the back of the house ?
