Why Manual SAT>IP URL Construction is a Thing of the Past
Building SAT>IP URLs manually is time-consuming, error-prone, and frustrating. One wrong parameter — a missed ISI value, incorrect FEC notation, or wrong PLS mode — and your entire configuration fails. SATLINE Professional Tools eliminate this hassle completely.
90% Time Savings
What takes 5-10 minutes manually takes 5-30 seconds with our tools (typically ~7 seconds)
Zero Configuration Errors
Auto-detection removes typos, wrong FEC codes, and missing multistream parameters
Complete Analysis
M3U playlists, bitrates, encryption status, DVB tables — all with one click
T2-MI Auto-Detection
Automatically switches to T2-MI analyzer and configures PID/PLP parameters
DVB-S2X Multistream
Handles complex ISI, PLSC, and PLS mode configurations effortlessly
Professional Grade
Enterprise-level analysis that replaces multiple command-line tools
Three Powerful Tools at Your Fingertips
1. SAT>IP Tuner Information Extractor
Real-time parameter extraction from any SAT>IP tuner. Query any of your SATLINE virtual tuners and instantly receive complete tuning parameters, signal quality metrics, and a ready-to-use SAT>IP URL.
What Gets Auto-Detected:
| Category | Parameters Extracted |
|---|---|
| Basic Tuning | Frequency, Symbol Rate, Polarization (V/H/R/L) |
| Modulation | Delivery System (DVB-S/S2/S2X), Modulation (QPSK/8PSK/16APSK/32APSK), FEC |
| DVB-S2X Multistream | ISI/PLP ID, PLSC Code, PLS Mode (root/gold/combo) |
| Signal Quality | SNR (%), Signal Strength (%), SNR (dB), Jitter (ms) |
| Server Info | Server name, Satellite position, Orbital slot |
Perfect For: Instantly grabbing working SAT>IP URLs from your active tuners without consulting LyngSat or guessing parameters. Copy-paste URLs directly into TVHeadend, Cesbo Astra, VLC, or any SAT>IP client.
2. Locked Tuner Stream Analyzer
Zero-input stream analysis for frequency-locked tuners. Just provide the tuner IP—our tool automatically detects ALL parameters, analyzes the stream, and generates a complete M3U playlist with channel metadata.
5-Step Automated Workflow:
- 1. Query Tuner State:Fetches frequency, SR, FEC, ISI, and PLSC automatically from your tuner
- 2. Detect Stream Type:Identifies standard DVB-S/S2 or T2-MI encapsulation
- 3. Build SAT>IP URL:Constructs a complete URL with all multistream parameters
- 4. Analyze Stream:Captures 5-30 seconds of data (configurable duration, T2-MI typically needs 15 seconds)
- 5. Generate Outputs:M3U playlist + service info + bitrates + DVB tables + encryption status
Real-World Analysis Speed:
| Stream Type | Range (seconds) | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic DVB-S/S2 | 5-30 | 5-7 seconds | Standard transponders with simple channel tables |
| DVB-S2X Multistream | 5-30 | 7-10 seconds | Extra time for ISI/PLSC parameter detection |
| T2-MI Encapsulation | 5-30 | 10-15 seconds | T2-MI decapsulation and PLP analysis require more time |
Pro Tip: All scanners support a 5–30 second range. Start with the recommended values above. Increase the duration only if you need complete EPG data or are experiencing channel detection issues.
What You Get:
- M3U Playlist:Ready-to-import playlist with all channels (#EXTINF tags, names, URLs)
- Channel List:Service IDs, channel names, encryption status (Free-to-Air or Encrypted)
- Bitrate Analysis:Per-channel bitrates to optimize bandwidth allocation
- DVB Tables:Complete PAT, PMT, SDT, and NIT metadata for technical validation
- Video/Audio Codecs:Codec information for compatibility checking
Perfect For: Locked tuner subscribers who need instant channel discovery without touching a single parameter. Ideal for IPTV operators deploying 10-100+ locked tuners across multiple transponders.
3. Unlocked Tuner Stream Analyzer
Full manual control for satellite-locked tuners. Specify any frequency on your satellite and our analyzer handles the rest—perfect for channel research, LyngSat verification, and exploring new transponders.
Supported Parameters:
| Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
freq | Frequency in MHz | 11727, 12564 |
sr | Symbol rate in KSym/s | 30000, 27500 |
pol | Polarization | V, H, R, L |
src | DiSEqC source/LNB input | 1, 2, 3, 4 (multi-satellite setups) |
msys | Delivery system | DVBS, DVBS2 (S2X auto-detected) |
mtype | Modulation | qpsk, 8psk, 16apsk, 32apsk |
fec | FEC code | 34 (3/4), 23 (2/3), 56 (5/6) |
isi(Multistream Required) | Input Stream Identifier | 0-255 for multistream transponders |
plsc(Multistream Required) | PLS Code | 131070 (gold), 262143 (combo) |
pls_mode(Multistream Required) | PLS Mode | gold, root, combo |
duration(optional) | Analysis duration | 5-30 seconds (see recommended values below) |
Recommended Scan Durations:
- Basic DVB-S/S2 scanning:5-7 seconds (sufficient for most standard transponders)
- DVB-S2X Multistream:7-10 seconds (allows ISI/PLSC parameter detection)
- T2-MI encapsulation:10-15 seconds (T2-MI decapsulation needs more time)
- Full EPG capture:20-30 seconds (when you need complete program guide data)
Perfect For: Research and channel discovery on unlocked tuners. Test new transponders, verify LyngSat data, explore multistream configurations, and discover FTA channels across any satellite.
Manual Process vs. SATLINE Tools
| Task | Manual Method | With SATLINE Tools | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Get Tuner Parameters | Look up on LyngSat, verify FEC notation, guess ISI values | Click query → instant auto-detection | ~3-5 minutes |
| Build SAT>IP URL | Type manually, risk typos, guess PLS mode, check syntax | Auto-generated URL (verified correct) | ~2-3 minutes |
| Analyze Channels | Run DVB Analyzer CLI, parse output, manually build M3U playlist | Click analyze → M3U + metadata ready | ~5-7 minutes |
| Handle T2-MI | Detect T2-MI manually, switch tools, configure PID/PLP, parse results | Auto-detected + auto-configured + parsed | ~10-15 minutes |
| DVB-S2X Multistream | Look up ISI, PLSC, PLS mode, test combinations, verify streams | Auto-extracted from tuner state | ~5-10 minutes |
| Total Per Transponder | 10-25 minutes | 5-30 seconds (typically ~7s) | <span style="color: var(–accent-strong);"〜97% faster |
