Edision mio+ 4K Tuner (?) issue

[Brct203]

Can you comment on if using a T2MI driver is needed to scan and receive channels on those transponders?
Before I go blindly trying the different drivers. On 40W I'm getting a channel that shows as 4000 H 5454 3/4 T2MI 103 PID 4096 and in the channel list is 4000H SID 0x320. But just black and no sound. Currently not using a depolarizer but signal shows a strong 11.5 dB.
Because I'm not at the moment using a depol., the same tp shows as V in a blindscan.

the 0x320 service is what I scan in if I use the non-T2MI driver (TNAP 5.1). If I use the T2MI Mod driver, I get TRECE and TRECE+, and they play fine. Note that the other T2MI transponders are a bit weaker

Last question please
In tnap6 there is "tuner driver selector" plugin.
I can t find it in Tnap 5.1
Could you help me please?

That plugin was introduced with TNAP6. It isn't in earlier images.

in TNAP 5.1 and prior, you'll find the T2MI driver under Menu - Plugins - Downloads - Extra, select teh t2mi-module, that will install it and will reboot the system.

you can check what driver the system is running by going to Menu - Information - About, second page

by the way, just curious, what satellite are you receiving that has T2MI?

ciao,
If I download tuner drivers in "extra" nothing change in scanning t2-mi trasponder (for each of the 4 drivers). With "Driver selector" in TNAP 6 it scans it if you change tuner driver.
In Europe we have various T2-mi FTA channels around satellites.
16 east is the one I need the most. But I can receive from 4,8east/23,5east and very weak (but interesting) from african beam of 36east

can you post screenshots of the menu-information-about pages?

I was able to scan 40W with the regular and T2MI drivers. I went for blindscan first. And then after adding, verifying them in my satellites.xml file. Performed a channel scan. The regular driver would not display Canal Trece and Canal Trece +. Switching to the T2MI driver does. So that answers the question Are the drivers only for scanning or to also display the channels.
Rather than jumping around in the TNAP menu swapping drivers and rebooting. A handy way is to put them all in the same
/lib/modules/5.15.0/extra
directory and append the names with the according functional purpose.

Currently the regular driver is used and the name remains avl6261.ko
The T2MI driver is waiting to be used after appending the regular driver something easy to remember. avl6261.ko.regular (for me).
And the .t2mi edited out. A reboot of the receiver then uses the driver it expects.
At one time I had all of the drivers in the directory appended to try out. Not sure if the TNAP drivers directory is the same (this is OpenViX).

Further. Adding the transponders to the satellites.xml does require care. They must be entered exact. In Notepad++ there is a plugin named XML Tools. In that menu is a Check XML syntax now function. Any errors will be highlighted. In View>Show Symbol. Check all of the options. Hopping from driver to driver with a known transponder to check becomes quicker.
As you might notice. 4000 has both H&V (L&R) polarities. Duplicates come from me not using a depolarizer.

hello, sorry for being late. I've finally managed to select proper tuner driver.
Thanks everybody for your kind help
