We use FEC_AUTO, with the API update DVBFE_FEC_AUTO. 2. Similarily, there's INVERSION_* vs. DVBFE_INVERSION_* -- dvb_frontend_parameters takes a fe_spectral_inversion_t which matches the use of INVERSION_* in patched szap, but DVBFE_INVERSION_* is introduced by the multiproto patch and is set inside the kernel module if dvb_force_auto_inversion is on. Inversion also doesn't matter. 3. Nothing in do_tune() sets fe_params.delsys.*.modulation -- but 0 is DVBFE_MOD_NONE. Shouldn't it be set to DVBFE_MOD_AUTO (or DVBFE_MOD_QPSK/DVBFE_MOD_8PSK depending on dvbs vs. dvbs2)? If the modulation parameter is there for DVBFE_GET_PARAMS only, it should probably be pointed out in a comment in the header (the way it is done for e.g. dvbs2_params.rolloff) Modulation also doesn't matter.

Re: [linux-dvb] Mantis driver: making cu1216.ko work for me
On 2/24/07, Marko Ristola [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Manu, I attached a minimal patch against mantis.tar.bz2. It contains changes into cu1216.c. Those changes enable dvb_core.c heuristics so that both inversion=0 and inversion=1 work. I didn't have to insert the get_tune_settings() function that informs dvb_core.c about the 50ms delay. cu1216.c works for me without that now. I didn't have to fix the negative return value issue either: no function seems to check the return value of cu1216_set_parameters() anymore. File cu1216_no_inversion_heuristics.patch contains changes without fixing indentation. File cu1216_no_inversion_heuristics_final.patch contains same changes, but with fixing the indentation. Without the patch, cu1216.c is stuck with inversion=0 : it never tries inversion=1. With me the fixed version works nicely: Initially dvb_core.c tries with automatic mode inversion=0. That fails for me and then dvb_core.c tries inversion=1. That's successful for me. When I switch into another frequency, dvb_core.c tries first inversion=1. Thus it remembered the previous successfull inversion. Thus I'd like to have Kaffeine inform dvb_core.c about using inversion=1 first. That way I would save over two seconds for the first channel. Cool. will pull it in. BTW can you give a round of tests with http://kromtek.com/dvb/mantis-v4l-dvb.tar.bz2 The same patch can be applied to cu1216.c, as there weren't any changes relevant to the cu1216.

Nick Andrew schrieb: This is very interesting to me because it's so similar to my LifeView TV Walker Twin (10fd:0514). I modified the m920x driver to detect my device and tried to send firmware to the device, but I found the firmware files I downloaded using Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware are the wrong format. So I posted here yesterday asking if anyone can help me obtain firmware. Since posting I tried to make the device work under windows inside a VMWare virtual machine. I used the LifeView MVP software which comes on CD with the device. The software doesn't work (I get the error Cannot init dvb!) but I noticed that my device's ID changed from 10fd:0514 to 10fd:0513 afterward, so I suspected that Windows was loading the firmware. Today I tried to monitor the USB device transactions with usbmon and I got a 50k logfile to analyse. Then I found your posting with the attachment dvb-usb-digivox-02-0001.obj, and I compared the hex dump of that file against the usbmon output. I was right; Windows is sending firmware to the device, and furthermore it is nearly identical to your file. usbmon by default only logs the first 32 bytes of every packet but I could verify that it's sending the entire firmware. I'm about to rebuild the kernel to log all 64 bytes and then I will be able to easily extract the exact firmware for my device. By the way, the Windows device driver is from the LifeView MVP cdrom, specifically M9207BDA.sys, how about yours? The windows driver for my device is named M9207_543.sys. MSI did their own software bundle. After I have the firmware loaded I will start to explore the differences between my (very poorly) hacked m920x.c driver and yours. Good luck.

[linux-dvb] Glitches in audio and video when recording from BTTV Twinhan VP-1025
I have a Twinhan VP-1025 PCI card (BTTV). It tunes fine and records ok except that every few minutes the recording has glitches which disrupt the audio and video at irregular intervals. The Twinhan card works fine using Twinhan's windows software and the same feed as when used from Linux, so it seems to be a pure Linux issue. The drivers load and detect the card without any errors. I've tried running the latest drivers (extracted using Mercuurial and rebuilt and re-tested just before sending this message) with kernel 2.6.20, but the problem still happens. Can anyone help? ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Re: [linux-dvb] freecom usb stick troubles
I am not sure it applies to your stick (mine is a ''WideView WT-220U PenType Receiver (based on ZL353)' with a different firmware...), but : With a 'Moka DVB Digital TV receiver' http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/materiel/moka_dvb_digital_tv_receiver (french but look at the dmesg output) I get the __same message__, but it seems to work : I can watch DVB-T __if__ I get a good signal. (of course, it would be better not to get such a message...) So, go ahead? and try 'kaffeine' (or scan/dvbscan) with the right configuration file for your city. (~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/dvb-t/au_* if you are using kaffeine with DapperDrake) (look if the scan generates more error messages, hangs,...) But remember : you need to get the signal. (check with Windows?, try to get a clear view to the emitter, being not to far... In Liège/Belgium, The DBV-T channel is UHF-C66/834 MHz, one almost need a clear line of sight to the emitter to get the signal...). xof == James Shirley a écrit : Hi i've been trying to get my freecom usb dvb stick working with debian etch (upto date, 2.6 kernel): I've followed the instructions from http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/HOW_TO_Installing_DVB and only deviated when i couldn't connect with http://thadathil.net:8000/dvb/fw/ is this server down, or just refusing me for some reason? anyway i found a redhat rpm somewhere with the firmware and my cksum is: freak:/lib/firmware# cksum dvb-usb-wt220u-fc03.fw 592751328 12902 dvb-usb-wt220u-fc03.fw The freecom stick has an art.no 28057, which is different to that suggested on the linuxtv's website of 25451 for revision 3.

Does the Lifeview Trio already use your new code? Or do I need to add support for it? I copy this to the mailing lists because i think this is interesting for more people. First: the code went to mainstream yesterday. Then i should give some explaination of what this is about: Many recent cards with the TDA8275a silicon tuner have a preamplifier (LNA) in front of the tuner chip. It is *not* inside the chip, and since it costs some cents, it will not be on all recent cards. This LNA needs to be controlled by the driver. I know about 3 variants how this is done, currently, the driver doesn't detect the variant automatically. So there is a new entry for the board configuration in saa7134-cards.c. Possible values are: .tuner_config = 0, : no LNA present. This is the default .tuner_config = 1, : with LNA. This config is used on the Pinnacle 310i .tuner_config = 2, : with LNA. This is used on the Philips Tiger-S reference design and probably on most others. .tuner_config = 3, with LNA. The new variant. Not sure who uses this. There is an entry with the same meaning for the tda10046 configuration in saa7134-dvb.c I should add that the configurations 1 and 3 are untested. I am quite sure that 1 is right but not so sure about config 3. on a fresly compiled 2.6.20 + a fresh hg pull, after having set .tuner_config=2 in lifeview_trio_config I got: saa7133[0]/alsa: saa7133[0] at 0xf3115000 irq 21 registered as card -1 tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock tda1004x: found firmware revision 29 -- ok BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6b printing eip: e0f2713b same crash without my change; it seems that 2.6.20 and saa7134-dvb don't get alone at all Thats really strange, i have 2.6.20 running here too and i can't reproduce this yet.

I guess the first few bytes of the firmware are data constants rather than code, and windows fills them in. I got the device working under (real) Windows XP; the blue power light doesn't come on when the firmware is loaded, only when the Windows application is running. Is further firmware required for the TDA10046A ? There have been some problems with some host controllers in the past that might explain those two firmwares. Also, one digivox we got working earlier has had stability issues on another computer. Has it got enough power?

[linux-dvb] skystar 1 and 2.6
hello ppl and nice to meet you. every time i re install my slackware i always have problems make my card to work.i own a skystar 1. so i decided to use 2.6.20.1 but i don't see anything related to skystar1. any ideas please? # # Supported SAA7146 based PCI Adapters # thank you in advance!

It looks like budget-ci is the first v4l-dvb driver to use it, so there wasn't any pre-2.6.19 compat code for it yet. I suggest adding to compat.h: #ifndef bool #define int bool #endif Well, should be #define bool int I meant typedef int bool actually, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, bool is a typedef, and the C preprocessor cannot detect a typedef. So your #define would replace all occurrences of bool with int, no matter which kernel you run. You're right. I also realize that the existing check for #ifndef true in compat.h doesn't work either! true and false are part of an enum defined in linux/stddef.h, not macros. If compat.h appears before linux/stddef.h, then stddef.h doesn't compile because of the #define true 1 bit. But if stddef.h is first, then everything appears to work. I thought this must be because the #ifndef true in compat.h was working, which wasn't what I expected, but seemed to explain why there were no errors. But now I realize that changing true to 1 on current kernels, while unnecessary, isn't actually going to cause a problem (other than the definition of true in stddef.h). ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
[linux-dvb] AGC settings for dtt761x, removal of lgh06xf driver
Some tuners benefit from changing the AGC take over point from its default value. For my HD-3000 with a Thomson DTT7612, it appears to increase SNR by 0.19 dB. I tested it against my weakest (20.0 dB) and strongest (28.2 dB) OTA stations. Both SNR readings went up by an average 0.19 dB from when the agc-top was set to 103 dBuV (which was the best) from the default value of 112 dBuV. There was no significant difference in the effect of agc-top between the two stations. I observed this same effect earlier when testing with digital cable. http://linuxtv.org/hg/~tap/v4l-dvb These patches add support in dvb-pll for sending an initialization sequence to the pll when the tuner is opened. A sequence to adjust the AGC TOP to 103 dBuV by setting the aux byte to 0x50 is added for the Thomson DTT761x and LG H06xF tuners. Since the lgh06xf driver's only significant difference from dvb-pll is that it sets this value, it is no longer necessary and can be removed. I would appreciate it if anyone with a card with a DTT761x or LG-H06xF tuner could test this patch and see if it improves their SNR (DTT761x) or continues to work as it did before (lgh06xf). Specifically, I'm worried about this possible problem, from my patch comments: There is one other difference. dvb-pll will probe for the presence of an I2C pll chip by doing a one byte read, the lgh06xf driver did not do this. In some devices the PLL is not reachable over I2C at the time the tuner is attached. Some more initialization, such as firmware loading, must take place first. If any of these devices are former LG-H06xF users, something must be done to disable this probe or enable I2C before attaching the tuner. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
[linux-dvb] HW reco's for Toroidal dish in US
Hi. I'm trying to set up a T90 dish for FTA reception here in the US, but I'm having a hard time finding switches that would have having 7 or 8 LNB's worth the trouble (especially if the LNB's are unswitched with LH and RH routed to different outputs)... None of the retails (or wholesalers?) seem to have a switch that can handle 16 or 20 inputs. Also, what's a good LNB to use on the T90's? If I'm setting up the channel configurations myself, I can always replace 'V' with 'H' and vice versa to get the polarization inverted... Oh, wait, it's only the circular transponders that are affected, right? Not the linear ones. Are there any popular universal LP budget tuner cards out there? Has anyone used the VP1020A's? And lastly... I'm thinking of setting up a 2m motorized dish with stacked C and Ku band LNB's. I looked at the BSC621, but it looks like the C is switched... actually the Ku is switched also. I was hoping to be able to have receivers on the C band, and Ku band polarizations simultaneously (i.e. both V and H polarization). Is there such a beast?
