antenna before when I ran gentoo i686.  I cannot remember what kernel
I was using.

i forgot tha tI still had gentoo 32bit still installed on one of my
partitions, so I logged back in to test out my card.  I was running
2.6.19-gentoo and I was able to tune QAM channels using dvbscan, but
I could not test them with mplayer because it kept saying that it
could not open my dvb device.  azap -r [chan name] worked fine, but i
have no idea which of the 351 channels actually produced video, or
sound.  I don't use that gentoo install because something borked the
hal+usb system so my mouse is supremely lagged and I can't figure out
why, so I was on CLI the entire time.  But again, the us-Cable-HRC-
center-frequencies list produced usable data.

rebooted back in to amd64 w/ vanilla 2.6.20.6, and I still can't tune
any channels, qam with cable or atsc with rf antenna.  but, mplayer
can open the dvb device, but of course errors out when there is no
channels.

I just tried rebuilding v4l-dvb-hg, and it errored out with the same
message as before.  I'm goign to try and revert to the gentoo sources
again to see what happens.

try to compile it in /var/tmp/v4l-dvb instead that long path (so no
v4l-dvb-hg-0.1-r2), some people had the same problems when checking
out my repository in strange directorynames (I guess there's something
wrong with a script but I haven't looked at it, it should work if you

 I did not try receiving QAM signals in 32bit.  I just read about that
 today actually which spurred me to try and get my card working again,
 since I had neglected it since I changed to 64bit.  I will make a
 minimal 32bit install on one of my partitions and give it a try
 though.  But, when I was using  2.6.20-gentoo-r3, I was able to grab
 300+ channels using dvbscan and the
 us-Cable-HRC-center-frequencies-QAM256, which also let me view a few
 channels using Kaffeine (xine) ... And like I said, in search of
 fixing the sound and the mpeg error, I changed to vanilla-sources
 2.6.20.6 http://2.6.20.6 (which I am on now).

 Ahh.  It wasn't clear to me -- I had thought, by what you wrote
 earlier
 (first quote), that you were implying that you were previously using a
 32bit install.  In any regard, I wouldn't bother with the 32 bit
 install
 (there should be no difference).  My main point was whether you had
 QAM
 support working under Linux with the HDTV Wonder -- which you have
 clearly confirmed.

 I was able to grab 300+ channels using dvbscan and the
 us-Cable-HRC-center-frequencies-QAM256, which also let me view a few
 channels using Kaffeine (xine), which also let me view a few channels
 using Kaffeine (xine), but I could not get sound.

 I get that as well with some cable channels in Kaffeine too.  I found
 that if you add (ac3) after the audio pid in the channels.dvb file it
 takes care of the problem.  Example:
 TV|[CBC]|192(2)|193(ac3),|0|1738|0|Atsc|843000|0|v|0|-1|256|
 0|-1|-1|-1|0|472|||

 Strangely, Xine itself works fine for me.  You'd think that the same
 would hold true for Kaffeine, but

 Anyway, earlier you wrote:
 I was able to get video (no sound in mplayer or xine)

 I've never encountered an audio problem with Mplayer, but over time
 have
 seen a number of users report no sound posts on different forums 
 m/l.  One suggestion is to pass the audio pid on the command line
 (using
 my example above I'd append -aid 193).  Try doing similar with Xine.


 scanning ATSC was done with the rf antenna that came supplied with
 the
 card.  I live in an apartment building located downtown in a large
 city, so I don't get great reception.  with 2.6.20-gentoo-r3 I was
 able to tune one channel with the rf antenna, but now with 2.6.20.6
 http://2.6.20.6 vanilla, I can't tune to any channels.

 Did you try swithing RF inputs?

 With what input did you use previously with OTA signals?
 With what input did you use previously with digital cable signals?

hi,

markus your way would not work on gentoo systems using emerge/portage
to compile sources.

it uses a sandbox. you cant just change the behaviour (ok, there is a way, 
but not form normal users).

it checks outs sources from repositories, unpacks, configures... everything.

@brett
can try to check out the sources manually and compile them?

Re: [linux-dvb] Nova-T 500 windows driver update fixes reception problems

2007-04-11 Thread Patrick Boettcher
Hi all,

I have discussed with the people involved with Hauppauge at DiBcom and 
wanted to know the problem.

They explained me, that the actual problem/mistake is the broadcaster: 
They are using SFNs (single-frequency network, a DVB-T mux is transmitted 
by several, geographically different, transmitters) and each transmitter 
has its own cell-id in the TPS. As the channels are the same, the cell-id 
should be the same as well. 

I have the register settings for the dib3000p and dib7000p (no rev-eng 
necessary) which disable some algos to work-around that. However I would 
like to make that a module-load option, because here in France and afaik 
in Berlin, Germany, the SFNs are OK and disable the algos may cost other 
performance problems.

I will try to prepare a patch for that as soon as I can.

Patrick.

 Hi all,
 
 I've been using the Nova-T 500 PCI card and I'm using the Ubuntu 2.6.20
 kernel.   I and others in Melbourne, Australia have been having reception
 problems on a couple of channels.   The problem is not related to signal
 strength/quality, but region specific.   The Windows Media Center community in
 Australia were also having the same reception problems (see very long thread
 http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/community/tuners-mce/12244-hauppage-nova-t-500-driver-bug-20.html#post120121).
 This community worked with the Australian distributer (New Magic), who worked
 closely with Hauppauge to debug/fix the problem.  After a couple of months
 they got a fix.
 
 Apparently the problem was with the dib0700 chipset.  So this might affect
 more than just this card.  Here's the quote:
 
For those interested the issue actually had nothing to do with
Hauppauge, but rather was a chipset issue which we have identified
in other tuner and set-top products. Because the issue is unique to
only small parts of Australia, many users and manufacturers write
the symptoms off as a reception problem.
 
 
 The update hasn't been released publicly yet, but is available upon request
 from New Magic (see note on this page
 http://www.newmagic.com.au/support/Hauppauge_Vista_Drivers.html).  Any one
 interested can also email me off list, and I'd be happy to send it through.
 The Windows instructions for installing the fix are:
 
* Install the latest drivers from here:
  http://www.newmagic.com.au/support/Hauppauge_Vista_Drivers.html 
* Copy the updated file hcw99bda.sys into the
  C:\windows\system32\drivers into the driver directory.
* Restart the system.
 
 Hopefully this is just a firmware fix, or something easy to reverse engineer.
 ;)
 
 Anyone know if hcw99bda.sys contains firmware?  And how to extract it?
 
 Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

 Matt Doran

Seems ok to me now, everuthing seem better with the patch.
I get ~55-60% signal strenght on both tuners for all channels, my LNA seems
to always be 1, but I suspetct that it doesn´t work.

Hi,

Reception on primary tuner seems to be worse, more glitches in decoding
(haven´t run tzap), could be foilage or lack of LNA though.
I´m not realy dependent upon LNA since my reception is ok, but I´ll verify
if LNA is working without manual module load.

On the other hand the secondary tuner is now usable for all channels.

Anything I can do to help improving this patch further ?

 Hi,

 It did not solve the problem here. I upgraded to the latest hg version,
 applied the patch, make:d and make install:ed. The signal strength
 dropped from around a700 to 8000 in tzap. The second tuner is even
 worse. The thing is that forcing lna activation does not seem to have
 any effect (via boot parameter or modules.autoload). It worked before I
 upgraded and this might explain the drop in signal strength.  If i rmmod

 dvb_usb_dib0700  modprobe dvb_usb_dib0700 force_lna_activation=1 I get
 a higher signal strength. The second tuner is still worse than the first
 (b800 compared to 9e00). Both tuner gets better signal strength than
 before.

[linux-dvb] Twinhan vp7045, fighting for a lost cause ?

2007-04-11 Thread Henrik Beckman

I´m prepared to pour more time into this, but I´d like to know

1. Is this a lost cause/impossible since _no one_ seems to be able or
interested in helping ( I´ll accept that it might be my own ignorance).

2. Does the change from zt352 to tda10046 hide behind the firmware layer or
do I need
to attach another frontend ?

3. What is error 22 ?

The VP7045 is available from many online retailers where I live and it is
priced competitivly so
I don´t feel that getting it to work is for nothing.

TIA

I have snooped initialization of the stick in both windows with working

The current linux firmware starts with 10 00 00 00 02 14.

The firmware looks like it ends with a bunch of aa aa aa aa aa, then C4 4C,
cutting there gives a firmware with 8192.

Thanks for looking into this for us.  I can't say that I understand all 
that, but I'm glad to see that you'll help us out with a patch.  A 
couple of Nova-t 500 users in Melbourne were about to give up on the card.


Any idea why this card/chip is sensitive to this broadcasting problem?  
Other cards, STBs, and tuners in TVs don't have any problems with these 
channels ... it's only this card.


If I knew how to describe this better, I would try to let the 
broadcaster know that they can fix the problem.  Did you get any 
specific details that I could pass on?


Thanks again,

[linux-dvb] DVICO Dual Digital 2 - Chris Pascoe's Test branch

2007-04-11 Thread Damien Dusha

Hello All,

I've been with the DViCO dual digital saga for a while and was happily
working around the frequency offset bug, but I decided to branch out and try
Chris's new branch that fixes the problem.
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pascoe/v4l-dvb-test

I am running FC6 with kernel 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6, (x86_64) and I compiled and
installed the hg tree without error.

However, when I did a make load, I get the following error:

insmod: error inserting './cx88-blackbird.ko': -1 No such device
/sbin/insmod ./dst_ca.ko

Which doesn't seem to be a problem, becasue I can see and tune both of the
dvb adaptors using tzap -a0 and tzap -a1, with the frequency offset problem
fixed.  We owe you a beer, Chris!

However, when I reboot, I am perplexed that I can only see one DVB
adaptor.   make reload certianly makes the other appear (and be tunable),
but before then, it doens't want to know about the other adaptor.

I have included the contents of my dmesg at http://www.pastebin.ca/434477
Note that includes the boot (where one adaptor is missing) and after make
reload, where both adaptors are usable.

And I most certainly have the firmware for the USB part in /lib/firmware.

Evidently, something is missing.  I'd be great if someone could push me in
the right direction.

Best regards
Damien Dusha.

[linux-dvb] Frontend-problem with Twinhan VisionPlus

2007-04-11 Thread Andreas Nettsträter

Hello,

i own a DVB-T Twinhan VisionPlus card and it used to work properly. But 
 for a few weeks a frontend cannot be found for this card. I think this 
coincide with a debian update using apt. I am not able to get the card 
back working. Here is the accordingly dmesg output, I am using a 2.6.18 
kernel with debian testing:

Damien,

You only have one dvb adapter showing up because the cx88-dvb module does not
load automatically in the version of the repository that you are using.  To
resolve this, add cx88-dvb to your init scripts.  This is distro-dependent.
In most cases, you can simply add modprobe cx88-dvb to /etc/rc.modules ...
but, again, each distro has its own method.

Please keep in mind that Chris Pascoe's new test branch was new many months
ago.  His repository is dated as two months ago, because at that point he
updated the repository with the changesets from the master branch.

We were looking for feedback as to whether or not his rounding fixes for the
dvb-pll module did the trick for tuning in Australia -- Thank you for this 
feedback.

Cheers,

Michael Krufky

[linux-dvb] requesting public review of the HVR3000 framework changes

2007-04-11 Thread Simon Santoro
Hello all!
I am probably the wrong person to do this, but I own a Haupauge
HVR-3000, and I am using Steven Toths driver[1][2] since a few months
with no problems (except disecq support) with kernel 2.6.17.
Currently that tree does not compile against 2.6.20 - it is 6 months
old, and it would be really sad to see support for that card go away.
So as asked by Steven himself[3] i'd like to urge the public review of
the HVR3000 framework changes (whatever that means :)).
I don't know by whom this tree should be reviewed, but can please
someone that has the skills other than Steven himself have a look at it?

Thanks, and I hope I did not make an idiot out of myself with this mail.

Hi,

Unfortunately I'm not the right person to review the changes, but I too 
have been using Steven Toths driver for a few months with kernel 2.6.18. 
 Analog and DVB-S are working fine for me (don't have a DVB-T signal to 
test with).


I'd also like to see these changes reviewed and hopefully get integrated 
into the mainstream DVB tree(and into the kernel tree as well) - it 
would be a shame to loose support for this card.


Robert.

[linux-dvb] MSI DigiVOX mini II

2007-04-11 Thread Jan Kuenstler

Hi all,
I am new to the list and new to dvb-t in general. I bought an MSI
DigiVOX mini II.

I searched the archive and found a an interesting part:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@linuxtv.org/msg21893.html

I used the firmware attached to the first post and compiled latest
from source: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~aapot/m920x?ca=2bfda2098748;type=bz2

Now dmesg shows:

usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 32

kaffeine works fine, beside the sound. I have (all ~30 channels) no
sound. Then I discovered one channel (ProSieben) where i can switch
from 306(deu) to 312(ac3). Now in ac3-mode sound works. The
problem is: It is the only channel where I get this option from
kaffeine.

DVB just transmits data, you probably would get no picture if something
at driver level were bad. Buggy hw pid filtering could cause something
like that...

You can disable hardware pid filtering by commenting lines 704-709 of
m920x.c . Let me know if this helps with any of the problems you've had.

...to fix the TUV1236d code, bringing it up to speed with the kernel.  ...I
imported that changeset directly from hg on kernel.org, so I forgot to add the
'kernel-sync' tag before pushing it up.  (otherwise, I would have asked for the
pull earlier) ...  but given the demand, and the fact that I'll be away from my

Please just make note of the fact that [PATCH] nxt200x: fix rf input switching
 is a kernel-sync patch, that Linus already has it in his tree.

As for 2.6.22 ...  I have an alternate idea that I sent to Trent in private for
his review...  He expressed some ideas on ways to improve my patch.  Trent and I
are going to discuss this a bit before I post the new patch to the mailing list.

After that is all done, pending approval by the other dvb developers, then I'll
send it on to you.

Also, please note:  m1k.net is down, and it might be permanent.  Please refrain
from using my @m1k.net email address (at least, for now), as it's unlikely that
I'll ever receive that mail.

Re: [linux-dvb] DVICO Dual Digital 2 - Chris Pascoe's Test branch

2007-04-11 Thread Luke Rosenthal
Michael,

 Please keep in mind that Chris Pascoe's new test branch was new many
 months ago.  His repository is dated as two months ago, because at that
 point he updated the repository with the changesets from the master
 branch.

 We were looking for feedback as to whether or not his rounding fixes for
 the dvb-pll module did the trick for tuning in Australia -- Thank you for
 this feedback.

I was following this problem some time ago too, but could not get my Dual
Digital to tune SBS no matter what offsets I used.  At the time I put it
down to poor reception but out of curiosity last week I did a hg clone on
the master branch, compiled, make rmmod, make insmod.  To my surprise SBS
now tunes but at the expense of another station.  As well, another channel
I previously needed an offset to tune actually tunes now.  Peculiar, but
given that you are talking about fixes for rounding, it makes sense.

I can't pull Chris's tree right at the minute as everything is in pieces
(waiting for a new antenna, cable  wall socket to be installed,
ironically) but when it's put back together, in a few hours, I'll
recompile  report back some more info.

Is there anything in particular I should be looking for when testing?  If
I'm going to try channel frequency offsets, should I add or subtract? 
Would multiples of offsets help?  Is there some tool which can automate
some of this task?

Thanks for your feedback  suggestions ( patience with us australians).

Luke

Re: [linux-dvb] patch, which supports some new DVB-C budget cards

 That would work.

 Better patch splitting would be 

 1. Remove the polarity switching of the clock for the DVB-C cards in
budget-av.c. This hack is no longer necessary because the saa7146 can
do the job to remove the additional FEC bytes from the TS.

 2. Add support for the frontend TDA10023 and add cards that need the
tda10023.

 3. Make the inversion setting configurable. The KNC ONE V1.0 uses
non inverted setting for the inversion and add the KNC ONE V1.0 card.
   

I've split the patch like the description above. The split patches
aren't completely independent from each other. They should be attached
in the sequence of their last number.

Sorry I wasn't more timely - I finally built a new media centre over the
weekend after my old one let out the smoke late last year :)

Have these changes been incorporated back into the main hg tree?  If so,
I'll give that a shot tonight.

Certianly, you can tick off SBS and Channnel 9 in Brisbane.  Hopefully the
other cities woerk as well.

Thanks for your help

Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] [linux-dvb] ati hdtv wonder in gentoo amd64

2007-04-11 Thread Brett Taylor

well last night I was successful in getting my card to work, and to get it
to tune QAM channels.  I changed back to gentoo sources and upgraded them to
2.6.20-gentoo-r5 (i was on r3 before).  using the kernel modules I could not
tune to any channels.  So, I emerged v4l-dvb-hg, which actually emerged this
time.  Then CityK walked me through how to use hg and obtain the kernel-sync
sources.  Once I had those modules compiled and installed, the card worked
great.  I still have a few channels that won't get any sound (and I tried
adding (ac3) to the kaffeine dvb list as was suggested earlier), but I do
have a handful of channels that work great (QAM).

Thanks for all the help.

hi,

markus your way would not work on gentoo systems using emerge/portage
to compile sources.

it uses a sandbox. you cant just change the behaviour (ok, there is a way,
but not form normal users).

it checks outs sources from repositories, unpacks, configures...
everything.

@brett
can try to check out the sources manually and compile them?

regards
marcel

In regards to those errors we saw, see btw 20:02-20:10 in the IRC log:

This might be indicative of that error Mike was thinking about in
cx88-mpeg, but I'm not sure. 

Anyway, another test you can try is use azap + mplayer, and add the
audio pid to the command line, but try an aid that is one off the video
pid  I've seen in the past where people have used an aid one lower
then the vid and find that that is indeed where the audio stream is.

Q: who is your cable provider?

Although, thinking about it, I believe that was with OTA  but
doesn't hurt to try I suppose

I have a patch in that would bein the curent master for dvb-pll rounding.
There was a small change to the thomson dtt7579 tuner data, which is what I
think your device uses.

I don't think this change would make any difference.  What frequency
exactly is it that works now but didn't before?  I can see if dvb-pll is
programming a different value than it did before.

[linux-dvb] [Proposal] Unification of the v4L dvb wikis

2007-04-11 Thread CityK
Time, after time, after time, I have seen users express confusion about
information fragmentation.  Lets put an end to this.

I propose that there is no better time then the present to begin the
merger of the v4l  dvb wikis together under one roof - the LinuxTV
wiki.  I also propose the creation of an active administrative body to
govern over the new wiki.

I have crafted a mock up of what a unified wiki could look like, as well
as outlined (in point form) some rationale for my proposals.  But if you
want a reason in a nutshell -- it just makes sense to do so.  Please see
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/User:CityK for further details.

Looking forward to resultant comments and discussion (hopefully all
positive!)

Cheers
