Hi, Matthias
Hi Eduard!
I've been performing some tests using your patch for this card.
Right now neither dvbscan nor kaffeine are able to find any channel on
Astra (the sat. my dish points to).
However, Kaffeine has been giving me some interesting results: with your
driver "as is" it's getting me a 13-14% signal level and ~52% SNR when
scanning. Then, thinking that the problem is related to the low signal I
have I've changed the gain levels used to program the tuner: you were
using default values of 0 for all (in zl1003x_set_gain_params()
function, variables "rfg", "ba" and "bg"), and I've changed them top the
maximum (according to the documentation: rfg=1, ba=bg=3). With that, I'm
getting a 18% signal level, which is higher but still too low apparently
to get a lock.
I've stopped here, because I really don't have the necessary background
to keep tweaking the driver. I just wanted to share it with you, as
maybe you have some idea on how to continue or what else could be done.
So I can do only this guess:
I changed demod driver to invert the Polarization voltage for a700 card.
This is controlled by member-variable voltage_inverted.
static struct mt312_config avertv_a700_mt312 = {
.demod_address = 0x0e,
.voltage_inverted = 1,
};
Can you try to comment the voltage_inverted line here (saa7134-dvb.c: line
865).
BUT: If this helps we need to find out how to detect which card needs this
enabled/disabled.
Regards
Matthias
Hi,
Nothing :(. Removing (or setting it to 0) the voltage_inverted
member doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm starting to suspect
that there is something wrong with my antennae setup, so I'll test it
later using an standalone STB or by plugging the card into a Windows
computer and using the supplied drivers.
Regards,
Eduard
By the way (sorry if I'm being molest...): I will leave the card in this
PC for now, as it's easier fo me to test and develop. As I have also
Windows here ¿is there any way we could do any reverse enginnering from
Windows driver, etc...?
Regards,
Eduard
