Combing Cable and Satellite Tuners

Post by miley »

I have just bought a UE55F8000 TV and connected one of its 2 tuners to cable and the second to satellite.

Changing between cable mode and satellite mode is extremely unwieldy, needing about 6 keystrokes on the remote. Surely it would have been easy for Samsung to set tuner 1 and tuner 2 on separate buttons on the remote while operating in dual tuner mode. They could have used the A,B,C,D colour buttons or even the PVR control buttons. (When using in dual mode no recoding is possible).

I wonder whether something like this could be incorporated into SamyGo firmware.

An even more useful addition would be if somehow cable channels and satellite channels could be combined in a favourite list.

I am a newbie, so sorry if this is naive or if this thread is in the wrong place.

Well, I don't have an satellite but using cable TV here. But I thought, TV could easily merge 2 tuner in same list since it's capable to merge Digital and Analog channels into same list.
But It looks it cannot merge satellite channels with cable channels.

Do you know "right hand rule" at physics? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule
We have a similar rule here, which is: Samsung is always sucks on software.

I have the same problem. My local cable provider emits some channels in DVB-C, others in DVB-T. Although they use the same tuner, my UE65F9080 insists on keeping the two sets of channels separate, having to change the antenna source in the configuration to switch for a set to the other.
Is there way to have the "cable" and "air" channel in a single list ?

Hi
A small question about antenna source.
Any one tried/know what exactly do keys :
"KEY_AUTO_ARC_ANTENNA_AIR = 211,
KEY_AUTO_ARC_ANTENNA_CABLE = 212,
KEY_AUTO_ARC_ANTENNA_SATELLITE = 213,"
It is possible to use it in RCremap to switch source ??
Or maybe there is a way to put something like :
TV-Air
TV-Sat
TV-Cab
in list of menu invoked by SOURCE key ???

These keys are probably misnamed/outdated as they do nothing at all.

The only key that exists/can be mapped to switch directly antenna is "KEY_ANTENA" and it switches only between air and cable (no sat).

I don't think so, the only known way to switch between air/cable to sat is to use RCremap with CMD support launching a script that sends needed consecutive keys through SamyGOrc.

Possible you only need libRCremap with CMD support. Then you switch tuners using SINGLE STANDARD RC KEY :)
I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!
DO NOT EVER INSTALL FIRMWARE UPGRADE !!!!

As explained above. Probably not "impossible" theoretically, it would be needed to hook switch to sat function to one key, but for now there's no patch to do so. :)
