Hello All.
I have been trying for days now to get my live tv to work but keep getting the same error: unable to connect to the dvbviewer recording service
I am new to linux but experienced with windows computers. So I will need an idiots guide to fixing this problem!
I have searched google, these forums and the dvbsky website and tried every recommendation so far but with no luck.
So, this is what I have tried. I originally setup xbmc without my DVBSky S952 v3 card as it was shipping from Hong Kong.
XBMC (in openelec) works perfectly. I then installed my DVBSky S952 v3 card and presumed it would just pick up the card. I don't know how to check if drivers are installed correctly in linux. So to be safe, I reinstalled openelec xbmc to ensure that the drivers were installed. I check that the drivers for my DVBSky S952 v3 card were included in the distribution and it stated on xbmc that they were and my card was compatible.
Once xbmc reinstalled, I activated the DVDviewer add on and enabled live tv. This is the point that I get the error repeatedly. The error is shown for a couple of seconds, disappears for 5 secs and then reappears, and the cycle continues indefinitely. The only way to stop it is to disable live tv.
I then thought that maybe its an issue with DVD viewer, but I am unable to disable it.
I have tried activating other PVR services e.g. Argus, TV Headend but I get the same error with these.
Therefore, I am assuming it is an issue with the installation of the DVBSky S952 v3 card. Am I right and if so how do I fix this issue?
Your help will be very much appreciated!!
