Hi! I have a very annoying problem with my Technotrend DVB-C 2.1 card, it almost always takes two attempts to tune a channel.
This is after loading the drivers (latest cvs) pvr2 build-2.6 # czap "bbc world" using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' 36 BBC World:314000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6875000:FEC_NONE:QAM_64:4130:4386:1019 36 BBC World: f 314000000, s 6875000, i 2, fec 0, qam 3, v 0x1022, a 0x1122 status 1f | signal 9696 | snr e3e3 | ber 00029220 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eded | ber 00029220 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eeee | ber 00029220 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eeee | ber 0003b97a | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eeee | ber 0003b97a | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eded | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eded | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eded | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK All i did now was killing czap and wrote the above. pvr2 build-2.6 # czap "bbc world" using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' 36 BBC World:314000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6875000:FEC_NONE:QAM_64:4130:4386:1019 36 BBC World: f 314000000, s 6875000, i 2, fec 0, qam 3, v 0x1022, a 0x1122 status 00 | signal d4d4 | snr 6f6f | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal ffff | snr afaf | ber 00000000 | unc ffffffff | status 00 | signal ffff | snr afaf | ber 00000000 | unc ffffffff | status 00 | signal ffff | snr a5a5 | ber 009ffff6 | unc ffffffff | status 00 | signal ffff | snr adad | ber 009ffff6 | unc ffffffff | status 00 | signal ffff | snr abab | ber 009ffff6 | unc ffffffff | And on the next attempt again it will tune most of the times. pvr2 build-2.6 # czap "bbc world" using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' 36 BBC World:314000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6875000:FEC_NONE:QAM_64:4130:4386:1019 36 BBC World: f 314000000, s 6875000, i 2, fec 0, qam 3, v 0x1022, a 0x1122 status 1f | signal 9797 | snr e3e3 | ber 009ffff6 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eeee | ber 009ffff6 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eded | ber 009ffff6 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eeee | ber 0003c924 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eded | ber 0003c924 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eeee | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eded | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr eeee | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK Tuning the same channel again or a different one makes no difference, there is another thread with the same card and same country/cable provider (comhem in sweden) http://www.mail- archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg14939.html the original poster also has bad reception and i experience this in one computer in both linux and windows but on another i get great reception in linux and windows. In windows i never have the tuning problem so i really don't know what to do next, any help is appreciated. -- Daniel -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
