I cant really tell, the mulriplexs here are on 474, 498, 522 554, 578 & 690MHzHallo Both! =) Hello Ben, Hello Peter. (what a monstermail, ive snipped it...)
Ive done that all on my sources in /usr/src/. But it cant be the worst idea to secure the original kernel-tree... Mainly i did that all like Peter show here. The kraxel-patch patches just the bttv-driver (and some other things) and put the avermediatv in it with the right id. So i would say it makes no sense anymore to give the card-option with it - it should autodetect. Im still unsure about that i2c_hw-switch.
What i want to ask you, Peter, is: Is it posible in your area to tune on
frequencies smaller/equal 230Mhz ?
Although Im still having trouble tuning to some of them, 474 690 and 578 work but these do not have an offset. The remaining multiplexs have a negative offset and dont tune. Perhaps this is a common cause??
We got around 7 or 8 Programs on 177,5Mhz and 191,5Mhz here in Berlin. AreWell the zarlink data sheet says it works on VHF and UHF, and my Avermedia box says the same. So I guess it should work, probably a bug lurking in the code somewhere.
there any channels located on
that frequencies in your area? I still have the problem that i cant tune
those channels. The package say, it
support those frequencies. If it will not, this card is mainly useless for
Berlin. I didnt tried this piece
in a wintel box yet, so i cant say... any idea here?
If there is anyone outside that could tell me if the card REALLY supporting the 2 frequencies above? Anyone that tried this thing in a Wintel-PC?
Btw. i find the tuning-speed is damn fast with that card. Much faster than the tuning speed of the technotrend card (which also runs in my pc).
Crazy that you should hack your mt352.c. It works out of the Box for me, with just an error while inserting:
*** mt352_read_register: readreg error (ret == -121) ***
Im not sure if that's maybe the cause that it wont tune under 230Mhz (i mean i never ever get a lock. The status switches from 01 to 05 and back, but no lock).

Hi Ben
While its still fresh in my mind. This is what I did.
1) Untar 2.6.7 Linux kernel sources to a dir 2) checkout linux tv dvb-kernel module 3) run makelinks from the dvb-kernel dir on the linux srcs (makelinks /home/peter/tmp/dvb/2.6.7) NOT the src in /usr/src or the src in the dvb-kernel dir 4) apply the kraxel patch. ( cd /home/peter/tmp/dvb/2.6.7 then patch -p1 <patch-2.6.7-kraxel
5) config + build the kernel as normal.
Note I hacked mt352.c before step 5 as i was experiencing tuning problems. commented out line 420
Hope this helps a bit.
Peter

Hi Andreas,
Still cant get anything out of zap. Driving me nuts. Anyway, I am not sure I am applying the bytesex patch correctly. Should it be applied to the linux src in /usr/src/linux, or should it be applied to the dvb-kernel tree?
What is the command you issue to apply the patch?
Thanks, Ben
