Soeren Well, it did help thank you very much! Now I finally have four DVB-T and four DVB-S2 adapters that can take any transponder I have access to without problems. I haven't looked into your patches yet but I hope the problems get solved in the main linuxtv tree soon, one way or the other.

I would be happy to hear if anyone has tried both the NOVA-TD and the NOVA-T. The NOVA-T has always worked perfectly here but I would like to know if the -TD will do the job of two NOVA-T's. And there also seems to be a new version out with two small antenna connectors instead of the previous configuration. Anyone tried it? Does it come with an antenna adaptor cable? http://www.hauppauge.de/de/pics/novatdstick_top.jpg Thankful for any info. Well I've this usb stick with these two small connectors - and it runs just fine. Though I think there is some problem with suspend/resume recently (2.6.32-rc5) and it needs some inspection. But it works just fine for dual dvb-t viewing. And yes - it contains two small antennas with small connectors and one adapter for normal antenna - i.e. 1 antenna input goes to 2 small antenna connectors. zdenek, your nova-td stick works just fine for dual dvb-t viewing? I always had this problem: When one channel is streaming and the other channel is switched on, the stream of the already running channel gets broken. see also: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg06376.html Can you please test this case on your nova-td stick? I'll recheck in the evening whether there are no regression, but I've been able to get 3 dvb-t independent (different mux) TV streams (with the usage of the second stick Aver Hybrid Volar HX proprietary Aver driver) with 2.6.29/30 vanilla kernels played at the same time on my C2D T61. Ok - I could confirm, I'm able to play two different muxes at the same time from this USB stick. And I do not experience any stream damage. I'm running Fedora Rawhide with vanilla kernel 2.6.32-rc5, kaffeine 0.8.7 for the first adapter and relatively fresh mplayer compilation for the second adapter Thought there are things to be reported and fixed (some USB regression I guess) - I'll handle this via lkml. Anyway here is dmesg USB stick identification (labeled WinTV Nova-TD) USB device found, idVendor=2040, idProduct=5200 USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Product: NovaT 500Stick Regards Zdenek Very strange. Playing of two different muxes is also no problem for me, as long as no new stream is started (of course after switching off one of the streams before). In the start moment of the new the stream the already running stream is disturbed and I see a demaged group of pictures in the old stream. After these few pictures the stream is running fine again. I cannot imagine that this is a specific problem of my stick, however, thank you for testing! Hmm - well I haven't made a close inspection (frame by frame) of every frame during the startup of second player. Kaffaine seems to have blocked screen refresh because Xorg gets locked via starting mplayer. So there is definitely frame skipping viewing experience - but that's the flaw of Xorg - sound is played just fine. If I should check whether there are no TS stream errors only at the moment of startup, I'll need to grab both streams and make a better analysis. My current statement was purely based on the fact, that I could watch both channels without any picture artefacts or sound distorsion - but during startup there is surelly a period, when some frames are not even visibile, because kaffeine cannot even refresh playing window - but that's another story Zdenek Hi again. Just got my two new NOVA-TD's and at a first glance they seemed to perform well. Closer inspections however revealed that I see exactly the same issues as Soeren. Watching live TV with VDR on one adaptor while constantly retuning the other one using: while true;do tzap -x svt1;done gives a short glitch in the VDR stream on almost every tzap. Another €100 down the drain. I'll probably buy four NOVA-T's instead just like I planned to at first. /Magnus H -- 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

Magnus, you want to support dibcom with another 100EUR for there poor performance in fixing the firmware? Please test my patches, the nova-td is running fine with these patches, at least for me. Patrick, any progress here? Will dibcom fix the firmware, or will you integrate the patches? Or what can I do to go on? Regards, Soeren Thanks Soeren, maybe I jumped to the wrong conclusions here. I actually thought this came down to bad hardware design instead of a driver/firmware issue. Unfortunately your patches made no difference here but I won't give up that easily. If they made your problems disapperar there should be hope for me too and I'll be glad to help in the development. I can live with the glitches in the mean time if there's hope for improvement since I mostly watch DVB-S these days. I'm running the stock Ubuntu Karmic 2.6.31 kernel and standard linuxtv drivers from hg. I also have four TT S2-1600 cards in there. /Magnus -- 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
TT S2-1600 and NOVA-HD-S2 tuning problems on some transponders
Hi. I have two S2-1600 and one NOVA-HD-S2 with a quad LNB at 1.0W (http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/canaldigital.html) and excellent reception on most transponders running 2.6.31.1 and dvb drivers from latest hg. I have troubles with both cards, though. The NOVA-HD-S2 does not lock on transponders with SR's of 25000 and 3, but on all others (24500,27800,28000). Any ideas what causes that? The 3 I can understand, but 25000? The S2-1600's are more inconsistent. They have problems tuning to 11421, 12130, 12226 and 12341 MHz. Sometimes they do and once locked, they run forever with perfect reception. I don't understand why there's a problem with these transponders since they tune just fine to transponders with the same SR, polarisation and nearby frequencies. Very greateful for any input.
