Currently, TVHeadend that is installed during the ORx installation is the most reliable way to tune into the Outernet signal (that we know of).
Before you can tune in, you must point your dish. Dish-pointing is outside the scope of this document, but you may find dishpointer.com useful.
TVHeadend can be found at your receiver's IP address on port 9981. For example, if your receiver is on 192.168.10.247, TVHeadend is found at 192.168.10.247:9981. If you go to that address and TVHeadend is not loaded, you can try 192.168.10.247:9981/extjs.html.
Since v0.1b2, Librarian provides a link to TVHeadend. Go to the dashboard and click the "Access TVHeadend" button.
If you want to add muxes manually, you can find more information in the Tuning in manually section. Adding muxes manually is also required for satellites that are not in TVHeadend configuration.
Check the Enabled checkbox for your tuner, and click Save.
Click the Add DVB Network by location... button on the left and find your satellite.
TVHeadend will start performing the initial scan to get the names of all channels. Give it a few minutes, then switch over to Services tab.
To tune in manually, you must first know what transponder you need to use.
Go to Configuration tab (at the top), then DVB Inputs, then TV Adapters. Select your adaptor from the drop-down list, and then select the Multiplexes tab. In the tab, you can click on Add mux(es) manually... button.
In the form that opens, enter the data for your transponder.
For Constellation, you can use QPSK, and for Delivery System field, use
SYS_DVBS. Make sure default satellite configuration is selected unless you
know what you're doing. Click the Add button to finish. Note that the form
will not automatically close, so close it manually when you are done.
Locate Outernet service from the list and click the Map selected button in the toolbar above.
Finally, click the play link next to the service name.
Switch over to the Status tab at the top of the interface.
You should see signal strength there.
After you have performed the above steps, Outernet Data Delivery agent should start receiving files.
While not really a way to keep the tuner tuned-in, idle scanning does help in maintainig the tune most of the time. Idle scanning kicks in when the tuner is not tuned in. It will tune in to any transponders that have been added, so as long as you the only transponder you have is one of the Outernet's transponders, it will sort of maintain the tune.
Go to Configuration tab (at the top), then DVB Inputs, then TV ADapters. Select your adaptor from the drop-down list, and then enable the Idle scanning option. Click Save to finalize the configuration.
