TECH5-16US-4x4 Output to a DIRECTV Com2000

[Claude Greiner]

I got a 16 Tuner Rack mounted unit, Model TECH5-16US-4x4

I am trying to get it to output an IP signal to a DIRECTV Com2000 which has a QAM modulator to send the off air channels Via cable QAM frequencies.

I can get the unit programmed correctly, however when I power cycle the unit it looses all the IP data and I have to start all over again.

Spoke with tech support and they said I needed a boot file to save the settings.

Does anyone know how to do this? I am willing to pay someone for their time if they could set this up for me. My email is claude@metro25.com

Thanks

Install the HDHomeRun Config GUI for TECH from https://download.silicondust.com/hdhome ... indows.exe on a Windows PC that is on the same subnet as the TECH unit, then open the software once installed. You will be able to click on each of the 4 units and set a boot script for it. Here is an example:

/tuner0/channel 22
/tuner0/target udp://239.255.6.1:4501
/tuner1/channel 23
/tuner1/target udp://239.255.6.2:4502
/tuner2/channel 24
/tuner2/target udp://239.255.6.3:4503
/tuner3/channel 25
/tuner3/target udp://239.255.6.4:4504

This will tune RF channels 22, 23, 24, and 25 and stream the full mux for each to the multicast target indicated. If you wish to stream a specific service and not the full mux, you can either use '/tuner#/vchannel 12.1' in place of /tuner#/channel to select a specific virtual channel number, or add '/tuner#/program 3' as a line in between the channel and target lines, and this will select a specific program in the stream. You can also use rtp in place of udp if your receiving equipment prefers RTP.

Where do I input this? I assume the channel number is the RF broadcast number, correct? I only need 8 channels

/tuner0/channel 7
/tuner0/target udp://192.168.6.4:273
/tuner1/channel 32
/tuner1/target udp://192.168.6.4:289
/tuner2/channel 25
/tuner2/target udp://192.168.6.4:305
/tuner3/channel 24
/tuner3/target udp://192.168.6.4:321

/tuner0/channel 27
/tuner0/target udp://192.168.6.4:337
/tuner1/channel 34
/tuner1/target udp://192.168.6.4:353
/tuner2/channel 20
/tuner2/target udp://192.168.6.4:369
/tuner3/channel 21
/tuner3/target udp://192.168.6.4:385

When you click on the device ID in the TECH Config GUI there will be a tab to set the boot script. And yes, that is the RF channel number.

When sending to a unicast target, you should add no_clear to the end, in order to prevent it from stopping the stream if the receiver rejects the incoming data, e.g.
/tuner0/target udp://192.168.6.4:273 no_clear
