RE: [linux-dvb] S-1500 + CI
6 channels with SMIT? You are lucky, the most I have ever gotten is 5 ( actually 11 pids ). Aston claims they can do 12 services (24 pids) the most I have ever gotten out of them is 17 pids (actually 16 pids working well and one more glitching pid) I have also tested PowerCAM - same story, can actually do about 2/3 of what they claim. -original message- Subject: [linux-dvb] S-1500 + CI From: Ahmad Issa issa@gmail.com Date: 10/05/2010 17:24 I have S-1500 + CI installed at openSuse PC , used with SMIT Pro CAM thats suppose to descramble 8 channels at same time. I am not able to get more than 6 channels. Smit claimed that is a limitation of the CI, I also tried OneCam Infinite (8 channels too), same results. I have contact technoTrend and below is their reply: *it's not a limitation of the CI, as it's a silly device, just parsing the stream over CAM. Maybe it's a limitation in Linux drivers, which we don't support, due to open source. Maybe you get in touch with the Linux community first ...* Any Body can help?

Re: DVBWorld DVB-S2 2005 PCI-Express Card
I have a very similar problem with DVBWorld 2006 DVB-S2 card. The v4l-dvb ( freshly pulled ) compiles and loads, firmware is loaded, but when I actually try to use it ( dvbstream commands ) the following appears in /var/log/messages: Jan 4 18:30:24 november kernel: i2c_sendbytes: i2c error NAK or timeout occur Jan 4 18:30:24 november kernel: ds3000_readreg: reg=0xd1(error=-1) Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: i2c_sendbytes: i2c error NAK or timeout occur Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: ds3000_readreg: reg=0xd1(error=-1) Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: i2c_sendbytes: i2c error NAK or timeout occur Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: ds3000_writereg: writereg error(err == -1, reg == 0xf9, value == 0x04) Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: i2c_sendbytes: i2c error NAK or timeout occur Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: ds3000_readreg: reg=0xf8(error=-1) Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: i2c_sendbytes: i2c error NAK or timeout occur Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: ds3000_writereg: writereg error(err == -1, reg == 0x03, value == 0x12) Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: i2c_sendbytes: i2c error NAK or timeout occur Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: ds3000_tuner_readreg: reg=0x3d(error=-1) Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: i2c_sendbytes: i2c error NAK or timeout occur Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: ds3000_writereg: writereg error(err == -1, reg == 0x03, value == 0x12) Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: i2c_sendbytes: i2c error NAK or timeout occur Jan 4 18:30:25 november kernel: ds3000_tuner_readreg: reg=0x21(error=-1) ... and many more of this. Actually I have to say I already tried DVBWorld 2006, NetUP dual DVB-S2 and TwinHan VP-1041 ( like the Technisat card ) but no success at all. DVBWorld is giving me errors like above, NetUP's driver loads but doesn't want to tune to anything, Twinhan can tune to one transponder and scan the channels but for reasons far beyond me fails to tune to anything else. DVB-T ( Leadtek WinFast ) is working for me perfectly, but DVB-S is an exercise in frustration... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
MANTIS / STB0899 / STB6100 card ( Twinhan VP-1041): problems locking to transponder
Hello linux dvb gurus, I've got the following setup: 1. current Mythbuntu 9.10 ( kernel 2.6.31-16-generic-pae ) 2. current v4l-dvb drivers ( freshly checked out from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb ; I've also tried with Liplianin drivers from http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin with the same effect ) 3. a TwinHan VP-1041 DVB-S2 card. My signal comes from ASIASAT-5 satellite. You can see all the stuff this satellite provides in http://www.tvro.com.tw/SATELLITE/100.5/100.5d.asp ( the page is in Chinese, but you can see it has - among others - two transponders which I am going to talk about , one is at 4000H freq 1150 sr 28125 fec 3/4 and another on 3960H freq 1190 sr 27500 fec 3/4 ** Now, I want to stream a whole transponder via UDP. So I try with a first one: $ dvbstream -c 1 -f 115 -s 28125 -udp -i 224.224.224.1 -r 1234 8192 dvbstream v0.6 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004 Released under the GPL. Latest version available from http://www.linuxstb.org/ Tuning to 115 Hz Using DVB card STB0899 Multistandard, freq=115 tuning DVB-S to Freq: 115, Pol: Srate=28125000, 22kHz tone=off, LNB: 0 Setting only tone ON and voltage 18V DISEQC SETTING SUCCEDED Getting frontend status Event: Frequency: 115 SymbolRate: 28125000 FEC_inner: 9 Bit error rate: 0 Signal strength: 65336 SNR: 93 FE_STATUS: FE_HAS_LOCK FE_HAS_CARRIER FE_HAS_VITERBI FE_HAS_SYNC dvbstream will stop after -1 seconds (71582788 minutes) Using 224.224.224.1:1234:2 version=2 Streaming 1 stream and the transponder correctly appears in 224.224.224.1:1234, 100% success rate. Now I want to do the same with the other transponder, so I try: $ dvbstream -c 1 -f 119 -s 27500 -udp -i 224.224.224.1 -r 1234 8192 dvbstream v0.6 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004 Released under the GPL. Latest version available from http://www.linuxstb.org/ Tuning to 119 Hz Using DVB card STB0899 Multistandard, freq=119 tuning DVB-S to Freq: 119, Pol: Srate=2750, 22kHz tone=off, LNB: 0 Setting only tone ON and voltage 18V DISEQC SETTING SUCCEDED Getting frontend status Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency dvbstream will stop after -1 seconds (71582788 minutes) Using 224.224.224.1:1234:2 version=2 Streaming 1 stream ... and it always says 'Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency' , and even though it says 'Streaming 1 stream' , nothing appears in the network. Now , some more info: 1. I've connected a satellite set-top-box to the signal and the STB can tune to and watch channels from both transponders with no problems at all. That IMHO proves that the signal is all right and the problem lies in the drivers, or maybe in dvbstream. ( or hopefully between the chair and the keyboard ) 2. I can ONLY tune to the 'freq 1150 / sr 28125' transponder. All others fail. But with that one I have no problems at all, I tunes 100% of the time; I got it to stream for 4 days straight with no problems. 3. You can see that both transponders are C-BAND , H polarization, so theoretically, AFAIK, if I can tune to the '1150' transponder, I should be able to tune to the '1190' one with no magic at all, am I wrong here? Could anyone shed some light on this? best, Leszek -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
