DAB+ on satellites

Astra 3B / Astra 3C @ 23.5° E

Two DAB+ streams have been activated at 23.5E on 12168 V,27500,3/4, Media Broadcast, BeMux-Antenne Deutch, Pid 4122, and BuMux-Dr Deutch Pid 4121, which are a copy of the two on 12641 V,1500,2/3.

Here are what the commands under Windows with TSReader and neumoDVB under Linux.

Eutelsat 10A @ 10.0E

. It is the same as it was the first time, after being changed twice, the last being 4000.

11221 V,30000,5/6,QPSK2- DAB+ Radio Salisbury

Code

-tune-s2 11221 V 30000 -adapter 0 -system DVB-S2 -lnb UNIVERSAL (or neumoDVB on Linux)
-dvbstream -c 0 -o 701 | fedi2eti 701 239.232.1.201 2048 | dablin_gtk

...

The UDP port is now 2048.

The rest of the parameters for DAB+ Salisbury have remained the same.

Thanks to @andymik #39, we can now listen to DAB+ on Windows using WSL2(Windows Subsystem for Linux).

I conducted tests on DABs NRK at 1.0 W(6909x card), RAI DAB (6902se card), and Mitropolitain (6983 card) at 5.0 W. Fortunately, they all ran very well.

For Windows users, it's an advantage that they can work on this system while listening to DAB streams.

The DAB+ German mux-12567 V test at 7.0E on WSL2 (Eti-tools) on Windows (Crazyscan) works as expected.

DAB Rai at 12564 V, 35300, 3/4, 8PSL at 5.0W now also has Multi 12, which currently has the same list of radio stations as Multi 11.

I used the VMA app to stream these Multi 11 and 12 PIDs, which are very easy to find and access, unlike Crazyscan, where you have to wait for them to appear and then select them.

I haven't tried running a DAB+ stream with the Blindscan app (neumo-tune and neumo-dmx) yet.

The first one I tested was DAB NRK at 1.0W on 10716 V, 5400,3/4, 8PSK, MIS 171, which can only be activated with a Stid135 card (6903x/6909x).

With a Neumo-tune console for the signal and another Neumo-dmx for decoding, the stream can run well with the Dablin player.

If this is the first time you are installing Linux and want to work on it, I don't know how I could explain and help you understand how to proceed in a way that a novice would understand.

But since I also went through the stages of installing Linux, I admit with some emotion and slight doubts that I am not an expert in this operating system. I used the guides available online.

You have two options for installing Linux:

1. Install it separately on a separate hard drive/SSD in dual boot, with Windows on one partition and Linux on another, or
2. Install Linux through WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) via Microsoft Store or Virtual Machines (VM with VirtualBox/Hyper-V).

This option is more convenient and seems accessible, because through the Microsoft Store on Windows, you can install, say, Ubuntu or another distribution.

After installing Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.), you need to install the Eti-Tools package, which you need to access DAB+ streams, which you can install from here: https://github.com/piratfm/eti-tools

The advantage of this WSL installation option is that Linux apps (eti-tools or players) can also be used with Windows drivers for DVB cards.

It would undoubtedly have been more useful to make a video showing all the steps for installing Linux, but since time is short for everyone, especially now during the winter holidays, I would recommend that if you have any minor or major problems, it is best to consult Google or AI.

Here is the final phase showing DAB+ with Windows and Linux (Ubuntu 24.04) with the Metropolitan 1 stream on 11461 H, 5780.3/4 at 5.0W:

If you haven't done so already, in Windows 11 or 10, you need to enable Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows Features: "Turn Windows features on or off", as in the screenshot.
