Hi,
just a general call for comments about using DVB HW with Macs.
I'm moving soon to another country and leaving all my PC stuff behind. I'm
planning on getting one of those cool looking iMacs once I get settled in
at the new place. I've never had a Mac before, so I think it's time to get
one
Hi,
I noticed that my budget card stopped working after I updated the driver
from the CVS today. The reason proved to be in the 'new' ifreq code in
ves1820.c which sets the ifreq value based on the card name. I had the old
driver patched to set the ifreq to 35937500 in all cases.
The current dr

Hi,
Just to clarify this *irq() stuff:
* It's related to the nova cards right?
* Is it related to tv reception or IP stuff?
* Will I benefit from this new and improved irq handling in my VDR setup
where I have a nove DVB-C card?
* Will the new improved irq handling be added to the driver CVS

Hi,
Christian said that they had TechnoTrend DVB-C cards working fine at the
office. I on the other hand am having problems with QAM_128 channels.
I'm not sure whether the problems is related to the QAM value, Srate or
bouquet frequency, but the fact is that the bouquet with freq=162MHz,
Srate=6.

Hi list,
I've had my DVB stuff running now for a month and a half. Latest
improvement was tuning to the <200MHz frequencies which was not possible
earlier. Chanegin the freq. limits in tuner.c helped there.
Now I'm pretty satisfied with everything except that tuning is not very
reliable. [I h
Hi,
I took a look at the signal strenght code in the driver a while back and
at that time there was no implementation. AFAIK the code always returned
zero. do a "grep -5 -i strength *" in the driver dir.
Actually there seems to be an implementation in VES1893.c. L64781.c,
SP8870.c, and stv0

Hi list,
A while back Kenneth Falck reported that he's TT-DVB-C card did not tune
to frequencies below 200 MHz. Last week I got an answer regarding this
issue from TechnoTrend where they acknowledged the problem and this week
they said that I could donwload a new TT-PCI-budget card software fr

Cool.
Here a link to a Devfs FAQ:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/
How does the use of devfs relate to the question below? AFAIK one of the
key points of devfs is to stop using major and minor numbers when binding
drivers to devices. So if I'm using devfs, I'm assuming, I don't have to
worry about the number of my dvb cards?

Hello list,
I got my system working! Both cards (nova, full-featured). And VDR as
well. The downside is, I don't know what I did differently from sunday :(
I'm using a snapshot driver from last week and VDR 0.99pre1. VDR has been
patched to use QAM_128 instead of QAM_64. The driver has been pa

Hi list,
Finally some light at the end of the tunnel!
I've been able now to load the firmware (I get the convergence copyright
on my TV set). And the driver seems to be able to lock on to channels (I
get the status: power, signal, lock, carrier, sync).
But apart from the Convergence copyrigh

Hi guys,
Does anyone know whether I can use a tecnotrend DVB-C card in Finland?
In other words, are the DVB-C standards implemented in various countries
compatible wit each other? Or are there differences between various
implementations as is the case with DVB-T?
