I don't know if it's just Crystal Palace, but one of the multiplexes

'scan' unless one reorders the frequency list.
Having done the scan, one then needs to replace 'QPSK' by 'QAM_64' in
the output.


I reported the issue through my channels and the issue was fixed earlier 
this evening. The DVB-SI tables have been updated so that now the 
constellation type has been changed from 0 (QPSK) to 2 (64-QAM).

Re: Updated tuning file for Crystal Palace transmitter, UK

2012-03-13 Thread Thomas Kernen


I'm surprised that it is providing you with AUTO values, if you look at 
most other entries for tuning files, everything is clearly marked and 
there are (virtually?) no AUTO parameters in use. The whole point being 
that we remove the guessing.


I'll update it next time I'm in the London area and have some time to 
generate the output.


Cheers,
Thomas

Any chance we can get more specific parameters for the T2 transmissions
than AUTO/AUTO/AUTO/AUTO/AUTO/AUTO?

It should be using UK Freeview Mode 6:
QAM256, 32K, FEC=2/3, guard= 1/128

Chris can you confirm that is what you are seeing?

I seem to recall that some time ago we tired to enforce using the
specific tuning parameters for all the options.

Re: Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T-500 support

So I've tested a WinTV-NOVA-T-500 model 283 (SL-283-V2.0-GER) which 
according to the wiki isn't suppose to work:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500

Anyhow, the revision I own, (WinTV-NOVA-T-500, 99101 LF, Rev D8B5) I 
seem to have no issues with support, no errors on loading the modules or 
tuning to the different DVB-T tuners. I'll go ahead and update the Wiki 
page to add a note that this revision actually does work and that the 
blanket statement claiming all model 283 are not supported.

Has anyone done any attempt at contacting TBS to see if they can release their

could be that their patch is so trivial that we could just include it in the
stock Linux kernel without asking them for license clarifications... but
obviously, if we can get a green sign from them, it would be even better.


It is always the other way round.

In the end they need a green sign from us.


Well... I guess we are both right. :-) They need to assert ownership
and license the code under the GPL, and we need to ensure that the
quality of the code is high enough (driver is working and does not
interfer with other parts of the code base...).


We I asked TBS' support about this question they told me they would like 
to get it out under GPL as it has been done with other cards they sell 
but that right now it was not possible due to legal contraints related 
to some of the code in use by some of the chips on the board. No further 
details were provided.





BTW, the TBS dual seems to be fine on m$, but there are some mysterious
lockups without any trace, if used in conjunction with some prior
S2/HDTV cards. I can't tell yet, if that it is evenly distributed over
amd/ati and nvidia stuff or whatever on win7 ... , but people do spend
lifetime in vain on it.


This is pretty interesting, do you have any references? (forum links
or similar)
In my particular case, I was thinking about using it as the only S2
card in the machine, later possibly adding a DVB-C card if/when we get
cable... so, it might not be a problem for me, but it still doesn't
feel really good. I guess the card is pretty new, so maybe (hopefully)
it will get fixed by a new firmware release.

Do we have any readers of this list who own the card and use it in
Linux (with the drivers from TBS)? Could you please share your
experiences: is the picture quality good? Sound? Does the tuner work
well? (e.g. can you receive all channels you normally receive...)


Yes I use the card. Have had it for a couple of months now running in a 
server that acts as a video head-end in my test network. I only tune to 
specific transponders when I boot the server so I can't really comment 
on tuning time and related issues. Yes I've used it for S and S2 feeds 
and so far it fits my requirements.

With their V4L I can only get as far as a successful channel scan.

I got my card today and have installed it. Works fine with the drivers

unfortunately I can't help you with MythTV since I don't use it.

Is someone already working on supporting the TBS 6980 Dual DVB-S2 PCIe 
card? http://www.tbsdtv.com/english/product/6980.html


Chips in use appear to be:

- NXP/Conexant CX24132 (DVB-S/S2 tuner)
- NXP/Conexant CX24117 (DVB-S/S2 demodulator)

I know there is code in v4l-dvb for the CX23885 but I don't think I've 
seen any for the CX24132 and CX24117.


Any insight into supporting this card would be great

Which gcc version are you using?
If you run a gcc 4.4 could you try to compile the v4l-dvb tree with a gcc-4.3 
and see if it helps?


Hi Julian,

I did recompile with gcc-4.3 as you suggested and yes that solved the

Since gcc 4.4 is the default GCC version with Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), I

Ubuntu Karmic is missing some Firewire/IEEE1394 files in the

Workaround:
in the v4l folder, open the .config file, find the line with

Ubuntu kernel 2.6.28-11/13 and KNC One clone

x86_64 GNU/Linux and Ubuntu update system offers 2.6.28-13.


I take the upgrade and notice that in 2.6.28-13 the budget-av module

The only diff is that -13 will not have the last 2 lines. Nothing in

Is this worth reporting to the Ubuntu QA team or already old news?

Thomas,

The maintis driver currently doesn't support CI. Unfortunately I
bought a Twinhan SP300 (1034) before I knew this, so I now have a
DVB-S card that is effectively useless to me, but I'm hopeful someone
will fix the driver one day (although I bought the card months ago and
I'm close to cancelling my sat subscription since the set top box I
have is crap, so I don't watch it enough to justify the monthly fees).

In mid May, Manu, who I think is a (the?) mantis developer, posted on
this list saying he hadn't had time to work on mantis CI for the 2
months prior to that. I haven't noticed anything new since then, so I
don't know where it's at.



Andy,

Thanks for the feedback, that was what I feared (CI not supported). 
Better to know ahead of time that after ordering such a card


Manu,

Any chance you would be able to comment on the planned roadmap for the 
CI support on the Azurewave/Twinham 1034 based cards?


All,

Are there any known working PCI based solutions that have the CI slot on 
the card itself? I'm attempting to find something that can be self 
contained within a single PCI slot.

Hello all,

I'm attempting to find a supported DVB-S PCI card with an on-card CI 
(ie: not a seperate daughter board) to contain all in one slot.


Based on the wiki and mailing list archives I seem to come up with the 
Twinhan AD-SP300(1034): http://www.twinhan.com/product_satellite_1034.asp


But the wiki entries seem to refer to a 1030A version:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Twinhan_VP-1030A

Are these the same boards and/or different revisions? Are they supported 
by the Mantis driver including the CI? This part I wasn't able to 
confirm from my search.


Are there other suggestions for such cards that are 100% supported?

Thanks,
Thomas

Am I missing a point here? I can't find anything that addresses this in 
the LinuxTV wiki or in the archives of the mailing list.




It would appear that I enjoy speaking to myself on this mailer ;-)

Anyway, good news is that the issue had to do with a defective cable 
that was bridging the Budget CI and the TT S-1500. It is now functional 
and descrambles the Viaccess streams I needed to test against.


Later today I will update the wiki pages with the details of my setup:

CAM initialisation failing

2009-06-01 Thread Thomas Kernen


Dear community,

After finally getting my Mystique SaTiX DVB-S2 PCI card (clone of KNC1 
DVB Station S2), I'm now facing trouble with the CAM initialisation 
(KNC1 CA daughter card, PowerCam Pro CAM and Viaccess card)


All of the hardware (DVB-S2 PCI card, sat card, CI, CAM) has been tested 
under Windows with any issues, hence I suspect this is a module related 
issue.


To try and better understand the issue, I added some debug statements to 
the following modules:

options dvb-core cam_debug=1 debug=1
options budget-core debug=1

And this is the output I'm getting:

[9.146782] DVB: registering new adapter (KNC1 DVB-S2)

[   15.050037] dvb_ca_en50221_wait_if_status succeeded timeout:0
[   15.050038] dvb_ca_en50221_read_data
[   15.050084] dvb_ca adapter 1: DVB CAM link initialisation failed :(

So if I understand correctly the CAM is ok but the en50221 module is 
times out when trying to read the card, is this correct?


Any
