 Before posting here, I did try it, but as it five months old, it don't
 compil against my 2.6.20 kernel anymore...
 
 Why would you use Hans' tree for this?  The code in ~hverkuil/v4l-dvb2 has
 nothing to do with your device.
 
 Because I am higly interested in dvbs2, I don't really need (right now)
 analog neither dvb-t on my card...
 
 Steve Toth's multiproto tree is an experimental development branch that 
 should
 work for your device.
 
 Well... maybe I should go for an older kernel then ?
 I also tried ~manu/stb0899-c6 which also didn't compil... and the only
 remaining choice was http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hverkuil/v4l-dvb2 which for
 example claim to support HVR-4000.
 
 I hope this helps,
 
 Well, it should, but now, I am a bit lost : the devel repo outside the
 one I tried seems all more or less dead project, I don't really know
 what exactly to try. Maybe http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/hvr3000 ???
 
 Thank you very much,

Hi,

have the same problem. Tried the following
1.) Patched my 2.6.18 (SuSe 10.2) kernel with Stevens multiproto patch
result: HVR4000 is detected, you may use the dvb part of the card then.
However you need to load an additional firmware file, which doesn't seem
to be available. -- doesn't work
2.) Using a standard 2.6.20 kernel and specifying card-type 53 activates
  the DVB-T part which seems to work (see wiki note about HVR4000)

Hope there will be more development for this card in the near future,
but from my point of knowledge the restrictive publications from
connexant (the producer of the chipset) seems to be the problem.

regards Uwe

I had the same problem with ~stoth/hvr3000.  I got as far as changing the
references to linux/config.h to linux/autoconf.h (I think thats right
from memory) which fixed the first compile problem.

But then it got stuck on something else, which looked more like a function
signature had changed - at which point I decided it would take more than
my random guesses to make the correct changes so I gave up for the night.

Please fix it Steve!

Thanks,
Robert.

 Hi!
 and the the cinergyT2 seems not to have a maintainer anymore.
 Is it broken or something like that ? unfortunately i don't have any
 hardware to test the same. If there are some users out there, who can
 provide feedback on the status, most probably it can be fixed in case
 it is broken.
 
 Marc reported it non functional on Ubuntu 6.10 with its 2.6.17 kernel.
 On FedoraCore6 it worked for him.
 
 Thierry from the video4linux usbvision project seems to be the only one
 else on the lists currently with such a device. He confirmed it working
 on vanilla 2.6.17.13 and even tested on vanilla 2.6.17.10, works.
 The current v4l-dvb on this older kernels is not yet tested for it.
 
 After it seemed there was also some precompiled module involved, I
 thought we found it. Marc is now back with a clean install of v4l-dvb
 and still doesn't get it to work since three weeks now.

hi,

i don't know if i'm getting on the right track. i missed the beginning
of this thread.

i see you speak of the cynergy T2. i do have it, so i can test any
v4l-dvb tree, provided with some time.

for example, i just tested this tree:

  http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?ca=a8819e65be60;type=bz2

on my vanilla kernel 2.6.18 on debian/unstable (i can provide the kernel
config, if useful) the cinergy T2, with this tree, works:

  usbcore: registered new driver cinergyT2
  usb 5-5: USB disconnect, address 7
  usb 5-2.1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
  usb 5-2.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
  DVB: registering new adapter (TerraTec/qanu USB2.0 Highspeed DVB-T
Receiver).

let me know if i need to try something else..

[linux-dvb] How does bad reception influence quality of macroblocks?

2007-02-08 Thread lynx . abraxas
Hallo!


I have this general question to DVB-T:
How  is  the  qualtity of macroblocks influenced if my reception of the signal
isn't perfect?

I know macroblocks will be lost totally if the reception is not sufficient any
more.  But  what happens in between these cases? Can a single macroblock loose
information (quality) in the reception or will it be dismissed totally if  the
data of a macroblock is not recieved completly?
What is the behavior of DVB-S/C or mpeg-streams in general?


Thanks for any answers
Lynx

Re: [linux-dvb] How does bad reception influence quality of macroblocks?

2007-02-08 Thread timecop

You will lose one or more TS packets (188bytes) if RS decoder (or some
other step before that) cannot fully recover the packet. Those packets
are usually marked with 'transport error indicator' flag, and mpeg
decoder skips them, or perhaps blindly tries to decode data in them.
Usually results in ugly crap across the screen in a particular section
that was ruined, even if it was only a single TS packet that was
affected.

[linux-dvb] Re: Pinnacle hybrid usb pro 330e, some specs on dxr3975d

2007-02-08 Thread Markus Rechberger

I had a look at these specs a while ago they aren't usefull.
Beside that it's possible to get that device work with a few tricks,
just capture the windows data and replay it in Linux.
Unfortunatelly there's no DVB-T signal around where I live, they'll
start broadcasting it during the next few month hopefully.

usbreplay co:
http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/USBVideo

I already got the device work with this way but having the specs would
be nicer than to implement that cribbled ugly parsed firmware stuff.
