[linux-dvb] operation not permitted
Hi all
I'm trying to setup my skystar2 card to receive EUMETCAST data from
HotBird13
(see at
http://www.eumetsat.de/en/index.html?area=left7.htmlbody=/en/dps/dissemination/eumetcast.htmla=710b=1c=700d=700e=0)
on my Red Hat 9.0 workstation using linuxtv 1.1.0.
all modules and programs are compiled without errors.
all necessary modules are inserted in the kernel without errors.
in linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1 distribution there is a program called
"scan" and this program works well: I obtainel the full list
of channels on HotBird13.
the problem is with the dvbtune command:
looking at dvbtune.c source code and as we can see in the
fragment below
the message "Successfully opened network device, please configure the
dvb interface\n"
is printed indipendently from the result of ioctl
1398 #ifdef NEWSTRUCT
1399 sprintf(devnamen,"/dev/dvb/adapter%d/net0",dev);
1400 #else
1401 sprintf(devnamen,"/dev/ost/net%d",dev);
1402 #endif
1403 //printf("Trying to open %s\n",devnamen);
1404 if((fdn = open(devnamen,O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)) 0) {
1405 fprintf(stderr, "Failed to open DVB NET DEVICE");
1406 close(fd_frontend);
1407 if (fd_sec) close(fd_sec);
1408 } else {
1409 // Add the network interface
1410 ioctl( fdn,NET_ADD_IF,netif);
1411
1412 close (fdn);
1413 printf("Successfully opened network device, please
configure the dvb interface\n");
1414 }
1415 }
so I decided to modify the sorce code and I added
some printf for diagnostic
1408 } else {
1409 // Add the network interface
printf("trying to open %s\n", devnamen);
1410 // ioctl(
fdn,NET_ADD_IF,netif);
printf("result from ioctl : %d errno = %d\n", ioctl( fdn,NET_ADD_IF,netif), errno);
perror("ioctl message:);
1411
1412 close (fdn);
1413 printf("Successfully opened network device, please
configure the dvb interface\n");
1414 }
1415 }
and then, running the program:

Afterwards I can't use it because /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 doesn't deliver anything at all. No wonder using xine or vdr doesn't work. Doing just a reboot everything just works like a charm (I use this feature for over three month now and it is always acting like this) I have what sounds like the same problem with a Nova-T (v1.2 with Grundig FE). On boot up everything loads fine but I can't get any data from the card. If I try 'dvbscan -t706M' for example it will just time out. If I do a soft reboot then it will work properly. I have a script setting the PCI latency to 128 upon bootup, if I don't do this it never works. I am using kernel 2.4.24 and have tried the 1.0.2 and the 1.1 drivers recently. I can't say how long this has been happening since I'm setting up a new system and have never had it working properly. A couple of months ago in another box with 2.4.22 and the DVB drivers it was perfect.

If that doesn't fix it (because uint32_t is 64bit...) we need to do
some more work.

Yes, I've read the dvbnet code. Finding this nugget was where the whole idea started in the first place ... Still, I am a bit confused on how to approach the whole thing. What do I ask the sat-provider to transmit? What kind of data will I receive? As far as I can understand its as simple as: - give the sat-provider a T1 drop and fire UDP packets into it - point dish, get a SS card dvb drivers running, etc. - fire up dvbnet, choose your frequencies, PID, etc. - read UDP packets on LAN oh forgot - pay sat-provider big $$$ What I am missing are some more details on this as they pertain to N.A. and any issues to watch out for.

well it worked back on my athlon-xp, yes. It even worked when i ran the

[linux-dvb] Re: Technotrend DVB-T 1.2 recommended for UK?
have it back and ready to try in a day or so. I think this thread went quiet with out anyone answering Andys questions: To reiterate has anyone got the TT DVB-T 1.2 card working fine, or not? If not, is there an alternative full featured TT-DVB-T card on offer (Hauppauge may have a Nexus-T, I found one reference to it, but nowhere I could buy one L. Adrian Thanks for everyone who has shown interest in my post. I was quite impressed at how it has snowballed into a conversion about possible fixes! As Gregor said, I don't have the option of misusing a full featured Sat card, because I don't have a sat feed. I think I might as well get the TT DVB 1.2 anyway, because if it the problems arn't solved I should still be able to 'misuse' it with a Nova-T? So I'll buy one and join in the discussion. Just a couple of quick questions though: 1) How hot does it get? Is it like a 1.3 sat card and roasts? 2) Anyone with a happily working full feature card of any variety got it working stabily with a mini-itx motherboard? (if I do decide to get a hush) Cheers, Andy

[linux-dvb] Tuning problems
I have been trying to figure out why the windows software gets better signal quality than the linux drivers on some channels. There is a few things in ves1820.c, function tuner_set_tv_freq that I don't understand. The ifreq variable, is that the reference crystal on the sp5659 chip? The reason I'm asking is that I carefully opened the metal box on the card (where the sp5659 chip is) and I coud not find anything that resembels anything like 3.6Mhz. There was 3 smal metal things, that I asume is crystals. The one closest to the sp5659 is labeld D400KOI, the second one reads D43.1LOI and the third one has red text and is labeld T01BJPN (the T is in bold) and the second line: 0408DSLB Coud it be a 4Mhz crystal?

From: Torbjörn Jansson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have been trying to figure out why the windows software gets better signal quality than the linux drivers on some channels. FWIW, I compared the tuner control code of the TT driver (2.16a) against the Linux sources and they appear to work exactly the same. So the difference is probably _not_ found in the tuner control. Instead, take a look at the VES1820 control code for QAM and symbol rate. What QAM and symbol rate are the channels you are having problems with? Here in Germany, I only have 64-QAM and 6900 kbaud channels, and those work flawlessly.
