Re: [linux-dvb] DiB0700 device report
Hi, I previously submitted my hardware details quoting some remaining stability issues. Since then I have however had over a week mythtv uptime. This could be down to one of three reasons. I might not have unloaded the firmware fully from the stick before trying the new one by resetting the machine and not disconnecting it physically (although I thought I had) I have improved my antenna setup, receiving much more consistent signal. I have hidden the device from IR sources as I was also receiving many dmesg entries with dib0700: Unknown remote controller key which have since stopped. Hope this helps iron out any further issues. dh On 1 Oct 2007, at 11:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Send linux-dvb mailing list submissions to linux-dvb@linuxtv.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of linux-dvb digest...

To: linux-dvb linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi! I would like to by a dvb-s usb device. Are there any especially well supported ones for linux (more as listed in the wiki, which are just 2, where one is actually not working). I would really like to have one for my laptop. Besides Firewire or ExpressCard suggestions are also welcomed, but it needs to be dvb-s.

Bizarrely, my system has been running with no problems for about a week without any problems at all! When I initially updated to the new modules and firmware, I had a couple of hard lockups in the first day or so. Since then, I have changed nothing... I have had my suspicions that this is a signal level issue, i.e. poor signal quality causes the lockups, but this is difficult to test! Maybe I'll start waggling the aerial lead to see if it kills it! ;) Cheers, Laz ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
Re: [linux-dvb] DiB0700 device report
Hi, Can I ask you a few questions about the TD stick, 1. How is reception compared to the nova-t 500 2. What firmware do you use for it I bought and returned a TD yesterday, it didn´t find a single channel, tried both in windows and in linux, kaffein detected all channels but none worked, w_scan didn´t find a single channel. I have 60% signal strenght on my t-500 but I suspect that somnething else was wrong. /Henrik On 9/29/07, Jonas Anden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1) system (uname -a) Linux ragnyr.garth.anden.nu 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Aug 30 13:47:21 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux 2) lspci-output 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ/P/PL Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ/P/PL PCI Express Root Port (rev 02) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 01) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GB/GR (ICH7 Family) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family) SATA IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 01) 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 04) 01:01.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Re: [linux-dvb] DiB0700 device report
Can I ask you a few questions about the TD stick, 1. How is reception compared to the nova-t 500 I think it is pretty similar, though I don't have any exact numbers to give you at this time. I'm going to do an overhaul of my cabling (with a better quality amplifier and splitter); I've got a small aerial antenna which is partially blocked by trees that feeds my four inputs and the current splitters and amplifier are pretty tacky, so any differences in reception is likely to be more dependent on the cabling than the tuners. I'll try to get back with better numbers when I have better surrounding equipment. That being said, depending on which multiplex I tune to I have very varying reception on the Nova-T 500. My reception on mux 1 (with SVT channels) is usually between 70-80% according to MythTV (with the internal LNA enabled), while mux 5 (with the local channels) is varying from 40 to 60%. 2. What firmware do you use for it I now use the 1.10 firmware. Using the 03-pre1 firmware I had similar problems to yours; dvbscan found plenty of channels but MythTV failed to get a lock. // J ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
