Re: [linux-dvb] TeVii S470 periodically fails to tune/lock - needspoweroff
Thanks for that Karsten, I have checked the temperature and seems normal . It does not look like it is getting overly hot . I have been keeping a close eye on it and it looks like I get more failures when using Diseqc . I notice when going to another satellite then coming back I seem to get more no-locks . My suspicion is that there may be some issues with diseqc function that will crash the card . After a full power down is done card is back in operation with no problems . Could this be a firmware thing ? Best Regards Milorad On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 6:46 PM, Karsten Siebert karsten.sieb...@transplaneta.com wrote: Check the temperature of the adapter.

Re: [linux-dvb] TeVii S470 in mythtv - diseqc problems
Hello Hans, Much thanks for your advice . I have done that options setting and it helped with my other issues . I have just worked out this problem . It was connected with the changing of the DVBS card that I used for years with a new DVBS2 and Mythtv . I thought that it was the drivers issue - but it is not . My apologies to the DVB developers ( sorry Igor for doubting ) . The issue is that Mythtv when dealing with DVBS2 card will need to access an additional parameter from the dtv_multiplex table which is mod_sys . In my mod_sys column there was only 1 , instead of a proper setting such as DVB-S . After updating the table , mythtv was able to execute a tune properly .

What utility to use to scan dvbs2 transponders
Hello Guys What is the tool of choice to use to scan dvbs2 satellites ? I tried dvbscan but it only picked up dvbs transponders , the dvbs2 ones it failed to tune . I saw that there used to be this utility scan-s2 , but looks like it was abandoned a couple of years ago and has not been maintained since . So how do you guys do a transponder scan for dvbs2 ?

TeVii S470 in mythtv - diseqc problems
Hello Guys, Just installed a S470 into my mythbox , fedora 12 kernel 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686.PAE . Myth is .23 the most recent fedora package , the drivers for dvb card I have at the moment were pulled in 2010-04-01 . I assume they are pretty current . The problem that I have is as follows : Most of my viewing is done on a Satellite connected to diseqc port 2 , and myth tunes into that with no probs at all , but occasionally I try to watch a channel that is on a second satellite - port 1 and here things fail . Myth tries to tune into the channel - then times out with error , during this the dvb driver crashes , and when I try to retune again with myth there is no lock on either satellite . So I need to restart pc , then everything comes back on port 2 and myth is able to tune again channels within that first satellite . Any one else experienced diseqc issues with this card and myth ? Second question what is the tool of choice to use to scan dvbs2 satellites ? I tried dvbscan but it only picked up dvbs transponders , on dvbs2 it failed to tune . I saw that there used to be this utillity scan-s2 , but looks like it was abandoned a couple of years ago and has not been maintained since . So how do you guys do a transponder scan for dvbs2 ?

Re: [linux-dvb] Support for Compro VideoMate S350 - Testing Results

I decided to install the whole lot as it was a bit hard to workout just the ko's responsible for the S350 .

I was able to tune into my favourite satellite with mythtv with no problems . I also was able to tune to another satellite using the mythtv configuration for 4 way diseqc . So 4 way diseqc works fine for me . Picture is satble and very good , sound also is ok . I will just run it now to see how the system stability is over a longer period of time . One small issue I have noticed : and that is in mythtv the signal strength indicator shows very low with S350 now . Before I was getting with TT1500S around 79 to 89% while now with S350 I see about 18% for the same channel .

Re: [linux-dvb] Support for Compro VideoMate S350
Thanks Igor, I have tried the second version of the 12096 patch and it applied perfectly . Also I ran a make on the dvb drivers , and they all compiled without error . So everything is good now . Next step is to install the drivers and the Compro S350 card into the PC . One question please , I only need these new drivers to get the S350 working , so which .ko's do I need to install ? I am quite happy to have the other stuff such as webcams ...etc. from the kernel .

Re: [linux-dvb] Problem with video4linux
Hello Mauro, After using the mythtv setup for a few days now with kernel 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 and v4l modules from 2009-01-06 as well as 2009-01-16 I have noticed some problems with sound . I use exclusively optical spdiff passthrough from my motherboard asus 5b (intel chips for audio) to the AV Receiver for audio . And with either of those two v4l sources are installed I start getting no audio on the spdif . Without them , using the dvb support that comes with the kernel all is ok . Maybe it could be related to that ALSA issue ? Could you please tell me which svn pull of the v4l source the 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 kernel comes with ? In the last six months there have been a lot of changes to the dvbs api , and knowing what the kernel comes with would help me compile additional sw that I need for my myth box . Otherwise it involves a lot of trial and error .
