[linux-dvb] Remote control handling results in failure to shutdown
Attempting to shut the system down (e.g. 'poweroff') does everything, including turning the light on the front system off, but never quite fully powers the machine off. I have to hold the power button down for about 5 seconds to actually properly turn it off. This behavior has been observed by myself and others with an Intel Mac Mini. I was originally seeing this issue with a Cinergy T2 device but have now also witnessed it with an MSI Mega Sky 580 and a Pinnacle PCTV Diversity (note, all of these are USB devices). The source if the problem was only revealed by the PCTV Diversity driver, on failed shutdowns following the usual: Sending all processes the TERM signal Sending all processes the KILL signal I receive a stream of the following message: stk7700d:RC Query Failed Commenting the remote control handling out of the PCTV Diversity driver has 'solved' the shutdown problems, shutdown is now 100% reliable. Any suggestions as to the root cause of this issue or a 'solution' other than manually removing RC handling from the drivers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your default troll response. Just because the code is reverse engineered or written by amateurs doesn't mean that it can't work solidly. Certainly my old Nova-T PCI card worked flawlessly but now i've moved to a mac mini so there's no PCI. Does anyone have comments on the Nova-TD / Pinnacle Diversity (i.e. dual DVB-T tuner) support? ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
[linux-dvb] Please help: Looking for a solidly supported DVB-T USB stick
Surely this can't be too much to ask? I'm looking for a DVB-T USB stick which I can buy now and is solidly supported, that's all. Previously i've picked up a couple of MSI Digivox II sticks that when delivered turned out to be unsupported MSI Digivox II V2.0 sticks, so it's no longer safe to order those. Then I picked up a couple of MSI Mega Sky 580 sticks (the x5581 version) which appear to be incapable of receiving a decent signal under windows or linux (note that I haven't had signal problems with 4 previous DVB-T receivers). So i'm now hoping for "third time lucky". Any suggestions of supported devices that are known to work without issues would be greatly appreciated. I've checked the wiki for information but it all seems to be completed out of date. Thanks, Stephen ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

I'm currently trying to get a couple of Mega Sky 580s (0x5581) working but couldn't tune to any channel with the current git repository. Having applied the attached patch the situation is improved (I can now get a broken signal on the strongest multiplex, i.e. lots of uncorrected errors) but still far from perfect. Note that I live in a relatively low signal area but have been able to receive all channels without errors except in very bad weather with a range of DVB receivers (Cinergy T2, Nova-T PCI, Sony STB + Panasonic TV). This is the first time that i've had reception trouble. Are there any further developments / patches / experimental repositories that could help test or any values I could try to tweak?

[linux-dvb] MSI Mega Sky 55801, cannot scan or tune
I've recently bought a couple of MSI Mega Sky 580s (identified as MSI Mega Sky 55801) but I can't get them to scan or tune. I've pulled the latest version of the v4l-dvb repository, compiled and installed without any problems. On plugging the stick in I get the following (promising) dmesg output: usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 usb 5-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice input: PC-DTV Receiver PC-DTV Receiver as /class/input/input6 input: USB HID v1.01 Keyboard [PC-DTV Receiver PC-DTV Receiver] on usb-:00:1d.7-5 dvb-usb: found a 'MSI Mega Sky 55801 DVB-T USB2.0' in warm state. dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer.

Could anyone giv me a glue? You didn't do anything wrong, you just got unlucky. The "MSI DIGIVOX mini II" is supported, however the "MSI DIGIVOX mini II V2.0" is not currently supported. I started a thread called "New device : MSI DIGIVOX mini II V2.0" on this subject a few weeks back (check the archive). In the end I RMA'd a couple of these devices as I couldn't wait for support to appear. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Are you sure? Checking the list archives shows some stalled attempts at supporting the AF9015 from earlier this year and a checkout of the v4l-dvb tree doesn't include any references to the A9015 or MXL5003 Of course that doesn't mean support isn't available in one of the development repositories or not referenced on the mail list.

Re: [linux-dvb] New device : MSI DIGIVOX mini II V2.0
Anyone? If any of the devs are interested in adding support for this device i'll happily provide the hardware. On the other hand if support is unlikely or far off then i'll return the devices and try elsewhere.

[linux-dvb] New device : MSI DIGIVOX mini II V2.0
I've just bought two of these USB DVB-T sticks after checking that the Digivox mini II was supported. However this appears to be a new device (the packaging has an additional V2.0 tag). This device was bought from www.aria.co.uk for just £17 in case anybody want to get hold of one. Having taken the case off there are two chips inside, one is the Afatech AF9015 the other is a Maxlinear MXL5003 (I can supply a photo of the board if anybody is interested). Note, i've attached the relevant part of 'lsusb -v' at the bottom of this email. So: 1) Is there anything else I can supply that would help in adding support for this device? 2) What are the chances of this device being supported, and when?

[linux-dvb] DVB-T, no data fron card on cold boot
On a cold boot everything appears to work fine, device is registered, everything is detected correctly, firmware loads etc, I can then tune the card using tzap, this also works fine. The problem manifests itself when I try to actually receive any data from the card using dvbtraffic / dvbdate / watching TV via MythTv, these all either timeout waiting for data or just result in "no data recevied" errors. Performing the same actions from a warm boot always work as expected. Just for your information, the setup works with the 1.1.0 drivers, except that it takes ~10 seconds to tune. Everything worked fine with the 1.0.1 drivers, except they don't support the IR recevier on the card. I'm using a 2.4.25 kernel with the a Nova-T card (subsystem ID 13c2:1011). Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Steve -- _ Web-based SMS services available at http://www.operamail.com. >From your mailbox to local or overseas cell phones. Powered by Outblaze
