How to add Multistream / T2-MI parameters to a DVB-S transponder (12380 H 27500) on 4.8E

  • Hi everyone,

    I need help configuring a specific transponder on Astra 4A (4.8°E), frequency 12380 H 27500.

    This frequency uses standard DVB-S, but it carries a Multistream / T2-MI signal.

    My problem is a deadlock in the Enigma2 menus:

    • If I select DVB-S, the menu hides the options to enter the Stream ID / PLP ID.
    • If I try to force these IDs directly into the files (satellites.xml or lamedb), it ends in an error.

    How can I solve this? Is there a trick to force the box to show the Multistream fields on a DVB-S frequency, or do I need to use a software tool like Astra (Cesbo) to decode it?

  • Hi, thanks for trying to help.


    Unfortunately, the modified lamedb file caused errors in my channel list. Also, the megogo is still not clearing.


    What settings are you using?


    What is strange is that I have had this channel working in the past. My box is a DM900 running OpenATV 7.6. I am using Astra SM for a long time, and Abertis channels, as well as T2-MI from 16°E, are working fine!

    Not only did the e2 developers not consider this combination (DVB-S + Multistream/T2MI), but modified driver in Enigma2 no supports T2MI-encoded signals, so Astra-SM must be used.

  • You are absolutely right... I am using the Astra-SM binary from Che Guevara. My current lamedb is likely outdated, which must be the issue. If I use a channel list that is verified to be working for this specific channel, the lamedb should update as well, correct? Is there any recommended list available? I have already tested the latest Ciefp list, but I had no success with it either.
