[linux-dvb] [OT] UHF masthead amp power supply location
This this OT, but I don't really know where to ask. And after all, the odds are that I will find a person with that sort of knowledge here. I currently have a masthead amp for my DVB-T antenna. It uses a power supply in the house that inject current through the antenna cable. I am now installing my Sat DVB-S system properly (i.e. not with a cable going through an open window), and I'd like to use a combiner/splitter system as I cannot lay a new cable from the dish to the tuner for the satellite signal (very old granite house), and I would like the existing cable going under the floor. I am afraid that the masthead amp power supply will be bothering the whole deal. I cannot get rid of the amp, my DVB-T reception is too weak without it. Here are diagrams of my 2 options: http://www.youplala.net/~will/htpc/Satellite/masthead_amp-where.png Option A - This is the easiest for me to achieve, but the position of the power supply worries me. Option B - I'm confident that this is technically sound, except that the necessary physical location of the power supply in this case has no power plug nearby... My question is: can Option A fly?

Re: [linux-dvb] Going though hell here, please provide how to for Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick 330e
hmmm... guys. First thing: on a Debian or Ubuntu system, I never needed the full Linux sources to compile a v4l-dvb tree. The headers were always enough. Second thing: when you compile a v4l-dvb tree on the side, I do not think that it is adding anything in the headers. So, if you subsequently need to compile a driver that needs stuff from a recent v4l-dvb tree, it won't find it. Third thing: That weird driver of yours is probably looking for its stuff either int the headers (were there will not be anything good to find because of the point made above) or in an available kernel source tree (where it will probably not find anything that will make it happy because your recent v4l-dvb tree is elsewhere). May I suggest to get a kernel source tree (from the appropriate package), incorporate the v4l-dvb tree in it, then try to compile your weird driver against this. Getting rid of the headers may help.

Please refer to the other thread [wintv nova-t stick, dib0700 and remote controllers] for more info. Here is a brief summary of the problem as far as I can understand: - when a keypress event is received the device stores its data somewhere - every 150ms dib0700_rc_query reads this data - since there is nothing that resets device memory if no key is being pressed anymore device still stores the data from the last keypress event - to prevent having false keypresses the driver reads rc5 toggle bit that changes from 0 to 1 and viceversa when a new key is pressed or when the same key is released and pressed again. So it ignores everything until the toggle bit changes. The right behavior should be repeat last key until toggle bit changes, but cannot be done since last data still stored would be considered as a repeat even if nothing is pressed. - this way it ignores even repeated key events (when a key is holded down) - this approach is wrong because it works just for rc5 (losing repeat feature..) but doesn't work for example with nec remotes that don't set the toggle bit and use a different system. The patch solves it calling dib0700_rc_setup after each poll resetting last key data from the device. I've also implemented repeated key feature (with repeat delay to avoid unwanted double hits) for rc-5 and nec protocols. It also contains some keymap for the remotes I've used for testing (a philipps compatible rc5 remote and a teac nec remote). They are far from being complete since I've used them just for testing.

[linux-dvb] A positive comment - Commercial detection
In those days of highlighting shortcomings and bitter comments, I'd like to express my satisfaction with MythTV. I've had a history of bad reception of the local DVB-T signal. It was bad enough to make the dumped MPEG-2 files quite ugly and corrupted. Because of this the commercial detection process did not really work. It was choking on the mpeg crap. I have corrected my reception. And the commercial detection is working like a charm. Very impressive. Yes, MythTV has legacy to clean-up. Yes, it has ugly sides. Yes the interface and setup can be quite scary. Yes, Elisa looks very cool. Yes other projects are attractive. Yes, there are other great projects out there. But they are all motivated by MythTV, they all have quite a way to go before they provide the level of features, functionality and adaptability that MythTV has today. And when there is no competition, things are not as good, heh? So MythTV community, way to go, and keep it up! And when is 0.21 going to be released? Just kidding...

By the way you can try to make some test writing the keymap on your
own.
Just edit dib0700_devices.c about at line 400, look at the other
keymaps
to have a model:
for example if the key you logged was the UP key you have to add a
line
like:
{ 0x13, 0x7E, KEY_UP },
and so on for the other keys, after that see if the keymap works with
evtest.
Between this discussion and some wiki rework I have been doing today on
all dib0700 equipped hardware, i am starting to understand where Patrick
was coming from regarding all that hard-coding of specific remote
keys...

Re: [linux-dvb] Nova-T 500 issues - losing one tuner
Well... You can now laugh at me, the supposedly problem-free user... I managed to get my nova-t-500 to lose a tuner too! MythTV was recording on tuner 1. I was channel surfing on tuner 2. After flipping through a few channels, I got a black screen. I looked at the logs. MythTV is complaining that the file it uses to watch TV (in fact you never watch the stream from the card, MythTV records the channel in a file, then plays that file) is invalid. You bet it is invalid, it's mostly not there, or with a size of zero. I guess that the tuner became non-responsive and thus outputs nothing. Getting out of LiveTV and coming back does not fix it. Trying to go to another channel serves no purpose, MythTV must be desperately trying to get any sort of response from the tuner before sending it any new command. That was a long me too, but a me too all the same. Dang ! Oh, my reception quality that used to be ugly has been fixed. I am now a user of a 26dB gain masthead amplifier.

[linux-dvb] Kworld DVB-S 100 status check
Hi, There is a Kworld DVB-S 100 PCI for cheap at the local Maplin. In the hg tree I've seen the following: v4l/cx24123.c:Support for KWorld DVB-S 100 by Vadim Catana [EMAIL PROTECTED] It looks like support is there, more or less confirmed by a search through the list. The wiki has no entry for it, apparently. Is there anything I should know about its use ? I'd be using it in my Mythbuntu system (2.6.22 + hg v4l-dvb, 64-bit). There is that video-in (composite/s-video) stuff on the board. It looks interesting as I could use that to import some old LD (yes, LaserDisc!) using this. Is it supported?

Some may be hacks that probably have a good reason to be, but with a weird implementation and may need some additional work. Could someone with experience give it a look and review what's good or not? Cleaning up that part, thus making it easier to make it work consistently, will make the Nova-T-500 even more appealing to DVB-T users. Many thanks !

My only analogue TV-card experience is with the Hauppauge PVR-350 which is a very good card and the ivtv drivers are mature. If you have a DVB-T broadcast antenna relatively close-by then a Nova T500 should work fine. If you scan this mailing list you will find the this card might be problematic in bad weather conditions and or if the reception is bad in general. I'm living about 1.5km away from the sender, so I think I cannot comment on that. This card, outside of very poor reception, has reached a pretty good level of stability, thanks to the great people on this list. As you can read in the recent posts, it appears that only small tweaks are needed here and there. Dual tuners are great, and with MythTV supporting the recording of multiple channels inside a single mux (i.e. more than 2 recordings at the same time if the channels are sharing muxes), in trunk, things are even better.

I don't remember that behaviour in my initial usage. Kaffeine sees 2 devices too. How normal or not is it?

[linux-dvb] Remote key repeat on Nova-t-500 - Logitech Harmony
This has been a nagging issue. Not a show stopper, but now that the system is quite stable, i'm willing to look at it. The remote for the Hauppauge Nova-T-500 has no repeat whatsoever. If you press the button and keep it that way, the card give one and only one command. I have tried the repeat=x option for my .lircrc file without any impact. Is there anything that can be done about that? As a work-around solution, there may be the Logitech Harmony avenue, that may have been used by someone on the list. I am a user of such a remote. the cool thing is that the on-line database of devices for the Logitech setup tool knew about the remote, no learning or IR codes was involved :o) But it acts the same wrt repeat. I have seen that there is some manual fine-tuning available on that tool. did anyone use it and manage to get repeated commands from the remote, using a permanent key press, that way? Thanks for your help, I'll be posting the message on the mythtv-users list too, and cross-post an eventual solution from them here.

[linux-dvb] BBC Freesat in the UK and DVB-S2
Hello all, Now that my DVB-T setup is mostly clean and stable, it is probably time to introduce some new stuff ;o) I really have 3 questions. In DVB-S in general, can I have one receiving card and 2 LNBs with a DiSEqC switch (2 dishes on 2 different satellites)? Is the BBC Freesat in UK in DVB-S or in DVB-S2, especially regarding eventual HD content? I think the PCI DVB-S cards are mostly well supported. It appears that DVB-S2 is still up in the aire regarding Linux support. Any special recommendations for PCI hardware? Thanks for your help and pointers.

Nico ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb BBC/ITV Freesat is DVB-S. BBC HD is also still available in DVB-S, but it's possible BBC HD will move to a DVB-S2 transponder in the future. It's hard to say if (or more likely: when) that will happen. BBC HD is h.264. Channel 4 and Five are still encrypted in Videoguard. Channel 4 will most likely go FTA soon, the future of Five is unclear. I think it's best to pick up those channels from DVB-T for now. In DVB-S in general, can I have one receiving card and 2 LNBs with a DiSEqC switch (2 dishes on 2 different satellites)? Yes. For recommendations: I would prefer the Technotrend S-1500. The board design is a bit better compared to the KNC1, the CI cable can be replaced when broken (standard SCSI cable where KNC1 uses something I've never seen before) and it has a remote control. If you're going to use a CAM, stay away from Twinhan. If you just want some FTA-card, I'm not sure which one would be best. You could obviously save some money by not taking a CI if you're not planning on using a CAM anyway. For DVB-S2, Technotrend S2-3200 seems the safest choice, but AFAIK it doesn't run as smooth on Linux as, say, the S-1500. Thanks very much for your answer. OK, as a safety measure and I'll go and invest less in the Technotrend S-1500 as initially planned; better support, option to go CI/CAM if I ever want to for some French TV package. I'll plug it to a Diseqc switch, one dish toward a bird with FTA French channels, another towards Astra and getting BBC HD while it lasts. The rest will be coming from DVB-T.

To: Hauppauge, manufacturer of complete TV solutions To: Microtune and Dibcom, manufacturers of discrete elements used in the above solutions Copy: Linuxtv.org DVB mailing list, representing the linux users of above equipment, and the current developers of drivers I am a user of an Hauppauge WinTV-T-500 DVB-T dual tuner card. I am also a Linux user, trying to build a home-made Home Theater PC (HTPC). This letter is an individual effort, not reflecting the official policy of any other group or body of persons. Nevertheless, I hope that other users will make the effort of sending you equivalent requests. The WinTV-500-T is a very attractive piece of hardware with a feature set that matches many of the needs of HTPC builders, especially due to its dual-tuners capabilities. It has become very popular. Unfortunately, the current drivers available, developed by individual efforts, through reverse engineering or limited corporate efforts are still not fully working and are not completely usable, due primarily to disconnecting USB devices or tuning difficulties. Such problems could easily be corrected if efforts were made by the manufacturers, both of the card (Hauppauge) and of the components (Dibcom and Microtune). I understand that the Linux users of your equipment are still a fringe of your user base, but please keep in mind that this situation is rapidly evolving, with the growing success of the platform itself, partly driven by the growing popularity of custom HTPC applications. I am sure that a solid and vendor-supported set of drivers would only accelerate the success of Linux around the TV applications. Please, take a look at the situation and assign official and sufficient resources (humans, coders, development hardware and lab, multi-parties communications, time, money, salaries) in order to achieve complete and solid support for your hardware under the Linux kernel. These efforts wil allow you to grab a reward, the capture of a fast-growing market where you would be the first to grab an audience. The Linux users and developers community will certainly be eager to support these efforts and provide all the feedback you may need.

Well, then add your own layer and send a similar email to the same list of companies. Complaining here will only take you so far... It's really a pity that the support for this card is still incomplete these days. Specially having in mind that (I think) we are very close to have a fully functional driver, as the USB disconnects (without plugin in the remote captor) are really very marginal. Once more, complaining here will only take you so far... However, plugin in and using the remote controller is a total different story, a nightmare I'd even say: system locks, frequent disconnects (not solvable by restarting the mythbackend - I need to do a full poweroff and even unplug the power cord to force a firmware reload on the card sometimes...), etc... Is there any possibility that we get a better support for the Nova-T 500 remote any day? Complain to the right people, which is not here. It'd really be the perfect card if only this issue were solved... True, tell them that. Nico ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Nothing plastic, ugly little metallic boxes are usually better. since I have 2 TV-cards. - Would is good to replace the 1-2 splitter at the server with an amplifier with 2 outputs?? Nope, this is not the place it would amplify the signal as well as any noise inserted by the cable, splitters, connectors, etc... - Should I maximize the output level on the top-level amplifier (I don't remember what level it has right now)? If you can, this is the best place to do it. Check your cables, the connectors (switch to well mounted F everywhere), check for the status (rust and all) on the connections outside... Minimize anything that could deteriorate the signal on its way to your tuners. When I moved into my current house, I changed all connectors, got rid of ugly splitters, trashed a supermarket amp+splitter close to the TV and replaced a few cables. I have gained 15% signal :o) Next, I will replace the main antenna cable, change the antenna with one with more elements and an amp at the mast, and make sure all connectivity is protected from the beautiful scottish weather. I should easily get a jump of 20% more signal, mostly by cleaning the path. - Can electronic devices be damaged by too much amplified signal?? If you stick to your antenna-mounted amp, you should be OK. Nico ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

The current code absolutely needs the new firmware. You cannot use the previous firmware with this code. In order to downgrade, you would need an old revision of the code, which I guess is a possible thing to get, but you would bump into a lot of problems it had, like remotes not being available, more tuning problems, etc... We all hope that Patrick will have had good discussions with his colleagues/friends, and will come up with new stuff to sort out the last few things that are annoying with this device right now.

A bunch of times per second. Until the next valid key code is received. And this happens as soon as I use any unsupported device (like power on/off my surround system). The Nova-T IR receiver gets the IR code by accident and as a result the module starts screaming. I'm not sure but this screaming possibly killed (rebooted) my box as well. I applied the new code, tested it for a few hours, and then went to bed last night. When I woke up the box had rebooted (no mentions of why in syslog, though). After applying the attached patch, my system has been stable (about a 10 hours by now). I've tried this patch. Thanks Jonas. It didn't apply (Hunk failed) on a current tree, but it is simple enough to do by hand. It seems to calm down the messages, indeed. Is it good in the grand scheme? I am not able to judge. Is it good in the long term? Let's see. At least, it didn't break anything basic and obvious right away.
