[linux-dvb] Poor reception with tuners but fine on regular DTV??
Dual pci Nova-T's, Ubuntu Gutsy. Just moved house recently, set my machine up and reception was very poor on a particular multiplex (the itv ch4 one) I assumed I'd need to rescan as maybe I need to be tuning to a different transmitter now. Did a full scan with MythTV but still poor reception and ITV missing. Tried a scan with dvb-utils 'scan uk-Mendip' and got the same result. I assumed the reception in this area was poor but I took the aerial out of the pc and plugged it into my lcd dtv and the reception was fine and it found all channels with a full signal strength (mythtv reports 20-25% strength) I was on mendip transmitter previously, moved further north to Bristol area and it still seems to be tuning to mendip(same freqs) and not the closer but weaker Kings Weston transmitter. I assume doing a full scan in myth would just choose the strongest signals or do I need to specify I want some mplexs from one transmitter and the others from another? Any advice greatly appreciated as I'm a bit stuck. Obviously it's not my aerial feed as my regular tv is fine.

To: Discussion about mythtv [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone else have a Nova-T500 tuner and still getting mt2060 I2C write errors? I'm running CentOS5 (2.6.18 kernel + RedHat updates) with new v4l-dvb drivers taken from linuxtv.org a couple of weeks ago and the latest firmware. I still get mt2060 I2C read and write errors. As far as I can tell the read errors don't seem that serious, but the write errors seem to break tuning somehow so that I end up with a failed recording. Thus far I've resolved this by stopping mythbackend and unloading and reloading all the dvb modules whenever I've seen a writer error. This seems to work ok, but it's a pita. Yesterday, more out of irritation than any real understanding of the code, I changed the mt2060 driver code that calls write_regs to retry if the first attempt fails. Thus far I've had a couple of fails that have worked ok on the second attempt and I've had no failed recordings. I'll be watching things over the next few days to see what happens. What I've done is without doubt a hack rather than a genuine fix, but if it mostly resolves the problem for me, I think I can live with that until such time as someone who understands the problem properly can do the job right.

Re: [linux-dvb] stv0297: improvement for qam256 modulated channels
Hi Oliver, Hartmut I have to modify my last statement concerning this patch. I forgot that I had to use a frequency shift in av7110.c to achieve a good reception. If I set this shift to 0 and use the new value of initial_demod_freq I get a lock again on QAM256-channels with reception as good as before. As this freq shift also improved reception on QAM64-channels I'm at the moment using 6718 for QAM256 and QAM64 with resulting BERs in the same range as with unpatched stv0297.ko and a frequency shift of -25. Maybe this also sheds some light on the discussion about shifting frequencies on vdr-portal.de Oliver Endriss schrieb: Hi, Oliver Endriss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: e9hack wrote: I did eavesdrop the i2c-bus on the TT-C2300 on windows.

Re: [linux-dvb] Pinnacle PCTV Sat HDTV Pro USB (PCTV452e)
You can change the GPIO1 initialisation to 0x02 instead of 0x82. this will switch the led to green when the frontend gets open()'ed. To switch it back to orange insert stb0899_write_reg(state, STB0899_GPIO01CFG, 0x82); in the stb0899_sleep() function. (this should be somehow limited to the pctv452e as the GPIOs might have different meanings on other devices) Dominik I've recently updated perl script to get the correct reg names and uploaded a typical output from the script for tuning to BBC1 as output.log this shows the order in which the registers are being set typically under the win environment to give us some more clues I just spotted the above in the log for GPIO01CFG and tried this out in the driver and it now works :) I had the values the wrong way round for orange / green which is a relief (I was worried there might have been a bigger problem somewhere with setting the registers) I've now set the light to come on during tuning / device access (this is usually the same time when there is power for the LNB) updated the patch for stb0899_reg.h with a couple more minor changes (probably makes no difference) based on the output of the win driver / the order the registers are set in pulled off a newer release of stb0899 as the Unlocking error seemed to be a bit random but this check has been removed recently I think for szap the one I've been using is located here http://abraham.manu.googlepages.com/szap.c this is the latest one mentioned by manu I've put up a small tar.bz2 file containing a script and the needed files to compile, just to make this easier for anyone who wants to try this at the moment I'm slowly working my way through the registers and manu's code to try and work out how everything fits together I think I've got diseqc figured out now at least from looking at the log pulled the diseqc specs from here http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/4_5_5.html The win driver appears to probe for any diseqc devices attached to the Bus using E2 00 00 the 00 specifies all devices on the bus and the E2 requires a response from any slaves attached looking at the specs when nothing is found, the LNB power is switched on then the following command is issued E0 10 38 f0 I think this means set the switcher to the first position based on szap / specs this looks like it's always the same which makes me think the win driver is ignoring the diseqc setting at the moment and always selecting the first switch option Also I think that when we init the FIFO register at the beginning this doesn't output onto the bus as it looks as if the precharge bit has to be set within DISCNTRL1 before anything is output It also looks as if the win driver writes values in a slightly different way I think with the current linux code we enable precharge set one byte then disable precharge to send one at a time with the win driver it looks as if it's possible to send more than one byte at a time into FIFO set precharge, send in all the bytes to FIFO, unset precharge DISSTATUS then counts down to zero, I think using the first 4 bits (could be wrong on this) the 5th bit is set to on when data is still being sent (0x13, 0x12, 0x11) then the 6th bit is set as well when the fifo is marked as clear (0x30) still if it isn't broke don't fix it, if it works as is at the moment in the linux driver then this is good enough for me :) I haven't got a switch in place but I do have a motor I'll need to experiment with different commands later on to see if I can get the thing to move and twirl around using vdr --Richard - Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Re: [linux-dvb] [v4l-dvb-maintainer] FWD: [Patch] saa7146/budget*/dvb-ttpci: Remove V4L1 dependencies
Hi Oliver and Marco,
The patch looked good to me.
Some comments:
IMO, instead of creating an emum for vidmode, I would instead just store
v4l2_std_id there.
if (std-id V4L2_STD_PAL) {
- av7110-vidmode = VIDEO_MODE_PAL;
+ av7110-vidmode = AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_PAL;
av7110_set_vidmode(av7110, av7110-vidmode);
}
else if (std-id V4L2_STD_NTSC) {
- av7110-vidmode = VIDEO_MODE_NTSC;
+ av7110-vidmode = AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_NTSC;
av7110_set_vidmode(av7110, av7110-vidmode);
}
I dunno if av7110 does support PAL/60, PAL/M or PAL/N. I did a quick
look on a datasheet I found at the net for
av7110(http://www.cdaniel.de/download/AV711x_3_1.pdfs). It seems that
the only supported PAL ones are PAL/BDGHI. If this is true, the above
code is perfect.
However, if the driver supports other PAL standards, the above code
won't work, since a few PAL standards are not marked as V4L2_STD PAL
[1]. If this the case, the above code is not correct.
[1] On V4L2, V4L2_STD_PAL means only PAL/BGDKHI. IMHO, this is one of
the weird things at V4L2 API.
To support also PAL/60, and PAL/MN, a better coding would be:
if (std-id V4L2_STD_SECAM) {
printk(KERN_ERR Secam is not supported\n);
else if (std-id V4L2_STD_NTSC) {
av7110-vidmode = AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_NTSC;
av7110_set_vidmode(av7110, av7110-vidmode);
} else {
av7110-vidmode = AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_PAL;
av7110_set_vidmode(av7110, av7110-vidmode);
}
Or to use V4L2_STD_525_60 (for 60 Hz standards) and V4L2_STD_625_50 (for
50 Hz standards).
Also, please review the patch with scripts/checkpatch.pl.
Cheers,
Mauro

[linux-dvb] Support for AverMedia Super 007 DVB-T card
Greetings, I have a AverMedia Super 007 DVB-T Card (because my supplier was out of stock of the card I requested and swapped in this card instead). I'm running Fedora 6 with MythTV, and I found the patch to enable this card, did the kernel rebuild etc., but there are a couple of problems: - The remote is flagged as TODO. I don't mind doing something in order to make it work, if someone could provide a bit of a hint how to go about this (if anyone knows). - It appears to scan channels and find them, but I haven't managed to get any video out of it yet. If anyone has this working under MythTV (especially with Fedora 6), let me know. Cheers, Andrew McRae. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
Re: [linux-dvb] [v4l-dvb-maintainer] FWD: [Patch] saa7146/budget*/dvb-ttpci: Remove V4L1 dependencies
Mauro Carvalho Chehab wrote:
Hi Oliver and Marco,
The patch looked good to me.
Some comments:
IMO, instead of creating an emum for vidmode, I would instead just store
v4l2_std_id there.
if (std-id V4L2_STD_PAL) {
- av7110-vidmode = VIDEO_MODE_PAL;
+ av7110-vidmode = AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_PAL;
av7110_set_vidmode(av7110, av7110-vidmode);
}
else if (std-id V4L2_STD_NTSC) {
- av7110-vidmode = VIDEO_MODE_NTSC;
+ av7110-vidmode = AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_NTSC;
av7110_set_vidmode(av7110, av7110-vidmode);
}
Basically the enum is not required.
Everything works fine without replacing VIDEO_MODE_xxx by
AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_xxx. (VIDEO_MODE_xxx is defined in videodev.h.)
On the other hand, I like the enum because it defines the interface
between firmware and driver in a clean way. video_tuner-mode defines
should not be used here because anything except VIDEO_MODE_PAL or
VIDEO_MODE_NTSC are not valid for the firmware. In the future the enum
might be extended to display NTSC content on a PAL TV...
I dunno if av7110 does support PAL/60, PAL/M or PAL/N. I did a quick
look on a datasheet I found at the net for
av7110(http://www.cdaniel.de/download/AV711x_3_1.pdfs). It seems that
the only supported PAL ones are PAL/BDGHI. If this is true, the above
code is perfect.
It's ok. Currently we don't support those PAL standards in the firmware.
However, if the driver supports other PAL standards, the above code
won't work, since a few PAL standards are not marked as V4L2_STD PAL
[1]. If this the case, the above code is not correct.
[1] On V4L2, V4L2_STD_PAL means only PAL/BGDKHI. IMHO, this is one of
the weird things at V4L2 API.
To support also PAL/60, and PAL/MN, a better coding would be:
if (std-id V4L2_STD_SECAM) {
printk(KERN_ERR Secam is not supported\n);
else if (std-id V4L2_STD_NTSC) {
av7110-vidmode = AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_NTSC;
av7110_set_vidmode(av7110, av7110-vidmode);
} else {
av7110-vidmode = AV7110_VIDEO_MODE_PAL;
av7110_set_vidmode(av7110, av7110-vidmode);
}
Or to use V4L2_STD_525_60 (for 60 Hz standards) and V4L2_STD_625_50 (for
50 Hz standards).
Also, please review the patch with scripts/checkpatch.pl.
Will do so.

Oliver
