That driver supports xc3028, xc2028, xc3018 chips, you might have some
issues with the firmwares, best would be to try existing packages.

What kind of device is that?
PCI/Conexant, or something else?

There is also another firmware chunk which is needed for FM radio

you might try to adjust the gpio values for your device, look up the
recent Winfast 2000 threads.

it's rather important that you figure out the gpio reset sequence in
windows (using regspy) this way you wouldn't have to cold reboot your
machine for retrying another firmware.
Initially you can load 1 firmware without a gpio reset, a cold reboot
is the only thing you can do for resetting the device if you don't
know the gpio reset values.
You might also try other firmwares which are provided on that site.

The em28xx/cx88 provide a gpio callback for resetting the device, you
should also have a look at how it's implemented (look at the
cx88/em28xx/(maybe sa7134)-i2c.c files

At the moment only analog TV is supported.  So far I have not got any 
audio and radio is untested.  These may however work.  DVB is not working.

you might recheck dvb_attach(qt1010_attach, I think you use the wrong
API there,
there's also a sample implementation in the em2880-dvb how it should
be done with the experimental tree.
The second argument isn't dvb_frontend anymore there, it's a structure
which holds a pointer to dvb_frontend.

[linux-dvb] Re: Technotrend DVB-C C-1200 TT-Connect

2007-04-24 Thread Mario Rossi

As I said, it does work, but I don't think that its working correctly.
I have tried under Gentoo and under Ubuntu Fiesty with 2.6.20 kernel,
and under both, things start to eventually jitter slightly and every
few seconds frames are dropped. This doesn't seem to happen under
windows for some reason. The only difference that I can physically see
is the LED colour on the front. I am not sure if USB 1.1 is capable of
handling the mpeg2 stream. I suspect that windows is applying some
compression that allows the stream to be able to be played without any
speed issue. Short of looking at the module source and try to contact
the original author, I am not sure where to find any further info.


Hi,

I've had a Hauppauge DEC T 2000 (dvb terrestrial) which worked on USB
1.1 and I did not have any problem with the bandwidth.

I think it would be very unlikely that the board compresses the MPEG2
stream before sending it to the PC.
It is more likely some settings are wrong.

Maybe you could do something like

http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/USBVideo

sniff the windows USB stream and then compare it to what happens in linux.
With some help from the guys in linuxtv.org, it could be possible to
see if some settings are missing.

Cheers

[linux-dvb] possible afatech af9005 bug

2007-04-24 Thread P. van Gaans
Yes, I'm back with my cheapass USB DVB-T stick. I recently bought a MSI 
Mega Sky 580 (found one at the back of the shelves) because the afatech 
didn't seem to be working very well.


After some playing with the Mega Sky (it works), I plugged back in the 
Allnet all2006 aka Afatech af9005. Now comes the surprise: some pretty 
weak channels (transmitter 50km away) work pretty well, with only a few 
blocks here and there (still definitely watchable). BUT: that is with 
the channellist I made with the MSI stick. Also the Belgium channels 
(30km away) now work, and they work almost flawless! (few blocks here as 
well) and the last interesting FTA location here, Goes, 27km away, works 
too. This stick isn't that bad at all! Okay, the MSI seems to be better 
(no blocks I think instead of a few), but for the money the Afatech is 
reasonable. Earlier I just wasn't able to get any channel into my 
channellist, so I thought the tuner was extremely unsensitive and 
couldn't test any channel actually playing. But if you test the channels 
themselves instead of scanning for them, the channels themself work.


Actually getting a channellist (with Kaffeine) for these channels, is 
still impossible with the Afatech, and I think that could be a bug. See: 
on the frequencies I scan, I do get frequency lists, so the stick sees 
something. The LED also says it's locking. And if I use a frequency list 
made with another DVB-T device, these channels often work mostly fine. 
It's still not the most sensitive tuner, but now that the channels are 
actually playing prove to me that at least it works.


So the bug is: you can't scan for channels with the stick. Well, hardly 
ever. On some specific frequency I do get results with the Afatech while 
scanning, but that's just one frequency filled with mostly (worthless) 
encrypted channels. With the MSI this is no problem, and if I use the 
channellist from the MSI on the Afatech it also works as expected. Only 
scanning with the Afatech itself somehow won't work properly.


My Kaffeine version btw is 0.7.1 (will upgrade soon, Ubuntu 6.06), but I 
feel it shouldn't really matter that much, but to be complete.

Maybe (just maybe) the afatech is slower/too slow to lock on a channel 
so kaffeine will time-out? Did you try with plain old scan and/or 
raising the timeut (if possible)?
I don't remember how I got my channel list, but I think I primed it with 
scan then vdr did the rest.

Re: [linux-dvb] possible afatech af9005 bug

2007-04-24 Thread P. van Gaans
For my feeling speed isn't the problem, but where do I increase the 
timeout? I understand it's in the settings with 0.8.4 but my version is 
older (and I don't want to upgrade before my backup machine is back up. 
I'm waiting for a new PSU for it). Maybe I'll just wait a while, upgrade 
then so I get the new Kaffeine. If someone knows if I can also set it 
somewhere in a configuration file I'll try that first, otherwise I'll 
just wait.


However I do note scanning takes very long for my feeling, so maybe..

[linux-dvb] Freecom DVB-T with scrambled vendor ID - possible to fix?

2007-04-24 Thread Philip Pemberton

Hi,
 After a power cut this morning, my Freecom 25451-rev.3 (May 2006) DVB-T
stick failed to restart - I've since found that this is because its USB ID
has changed from 0x14aa:0x0225 to 0x1402:0x0225 - i.e. one byte of the VID
has been changed.

 Does anyone know of a tool that can edit the contents of the EEPROM on the
25451, or any of the WideView USB sticks? Freecom are no help (take it back
to where you bought it then) and the supplier doesn't want to know either
(your warranty is with Freecom, not us - so much for the Sale of Goods
Act), so I'm pretty much on my own...

 If I hack the Windows driver .INF files to reflect the new VID, they work
fine. The Linux drivers also work insofar as the firmware gets uploaded, but
the DVB entries in /dev never get created (I suspect this is an issue with
the way I edited the VIDs).

Thanks,
--
Phil.

[linux-dvb] Australia and the DViCO Dual Digital 4

2007-04-24 Thread ras243-dvb
Hi all,

For those interested I live in Australia (Hobart) and I've been working on
getting the driver for this card going here.  I figure the more people working
on it the more likely we are to get something going using random luck. 
Unfortunately I still can't get it to tune.  So far I've noticed that the
ZL10353 input frequency is different (registers 0x6c and 0x6d) to what the
windoze driver is sending so I've adjusted these as well as fixed a couple of
other things which probably haven't made any difference.  Most of the ZL10353
is set to auto although if I get desperate I can start setting some of the TPS
bits to appropriate values.  Essentially I don't believe the problem I'm having
is with the ZL10353.  However, can someone else in another part of Australia
please confirm that registers 0x6c and 0x6d are always set to 0x22 and 0x17
here?  (Look for a 08 0f 02 0x6[cd] XX line in the parsed usbsnoop file).

I've now started digging around with the XC3028 although I haven't really begun
to get stuck into the code.  Last night I created a new firmware file as the
one being sent from windoze doesn't match any of the other firmware I could
find.  I'm currently in the process of confirming it's correct.  I'm also
getting some GPIO calls to the card during firmware uploading and some i2c
reads/writes which I can't yet decipher.  If anyone knows what a 2 byte read
(usb:09 00 02 61) to the xc3028 returns I'd like to know.  There's a read,
followed by a write, followed by another read but the final value read isn't
what is written.  I don't yet know enough about the XC3028 i2c stuff to know
what's happening.  After this the windoze driver does a ZL10353 reset etc, etc.
 Chances are with the different input/sampling frequency set in the ZL10353 the
tuning and firmware in the XC3028 are unique to Australia. :-(

Working on it but any help appreciated...

Roger Scott.

I just saw that there isn't one in the scan utility, and probably this 
isn't the (only) problem: I report FE_HAS_LOCK when the af9005 says that 
it has seen the mpeg sync byte, while I use the tpsd_lock to indicate 
FE_HAS_CARRIER. Probably FE_HAS_LOCK should depend on both conditions.
Try, as a test, in af9005-fe.c, function af9005_fe_read_status, where 
you see


if (temp)
*stat |= FE_HAS_SYNC | FE_HAS_VITERBI | FE_HAS_LOCK;

change the condition to

if (temp  (*stat  FE_HAS_CARRIER))

and tell me if you can scan this way.

Re: [linux-dvb] possible afatech af9005 bug

2007-04-24 Thread P. van Gaans
Sorry, that doesn't seem to help, I don't see any difference at all. It 
doesn't seem to hurt either.


Some extra info: I see a lot of Getting frontend event and 
polling from Kaffeine. Especially a lot of polling.


Often looks like:

polling
Getting frontend event
polling
Getting frontend event
polling
Getting frontend event
polling
polling
polling
polling
polling
polling

And after some more polling it gives up and tries another frequency 
where the same thing repeats. Just two times getting happens as well. 
Sometimes more getting also happens. But almost always when it is done 
getting it keeps polling for a while before switching to another 
frequency. Sometimes I get Invalid section length or timeout : pid=17 
or Invalid section length or timeout : pid=0.


On 762Mhz however I can make a successful scan (reproducable), almost 
immediatly it starts loading the channels. Takes a few sec and looks 
like this: polling, getting, polling, getting, polling, getting, Event: 
Frequency: 76200 and from there on it starts loading channels 
normally. The polling/getting seems to go faster here as well. Maybe 
this makes the problem more clear (or maybe it doesn't, I'm not sure).
