[BUG] TDA10086 : Creatix CTX929_V.1 : TS continuity errors with good RF signal input

2010-02-26 Thread thomas schorpp
Hi, 


Issue is already confirmed here:
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=93268

Linux 2.6.32.8, 80cm dish.

Do we have any Tuner/Decoder optimization points in the FE code?

This is not OK:

Low signal strength values are AGC-loop misinterpretation as usual?

I just started to try to look it up, but don't have ground yet.

I reported unexpected bad performance under GNU/Linux for that card
previously.

Can you point me to the fix?

I just started to try to look it up, but don't have ground yet.


Look for tda10086 changesets in the stable branch git repository at kernel.org 2.6.32.7...33 
and linux-media repository ?


If there's no applicable change then I've misinterpreted the fix for the clear sky tonight :D  
but I'm pretty sure the issue occured at any weather with hours of clear sky periods last week, 
there's not been a minute without TS errors in VDR as long as the card has been in use.




I reported unexpected bad performance under GNU/Linux for that card
previously.


On this list? Give weblink pls.



Can you point me to the fix?

Low signal strength values are AGC-loop misinterpretation as usual?

  I'll report if issue reoccurs and try to finetune crystal based 
  tuner/demod parameters, then.

  I just started to try to look it up, but don't have ground yet.
 
 Look for tda10086 changesets in the stable branch git repository at 
 kernel.org 2.6.32.7...33 
 and linux-media repository ?
 
 If there's no applicable change then I've misinterpreted the fix for the 
 clear sky tonight :D  
 but I'm pretty sure the issue occured at any weather with hours of clear sky 
 periods last week, 
 there's not been a minute without TS errors in VDR as long as the card has 
 been in use.
 
  
  I reported unexpected bad performance under GNU/Linux for that card
  previously.
 
 On this list? Give weblink pls.

No, but here is
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg15335.html

I know for sure, that I was totally baffled, when Manu, Oliver and
Hartmut did start talking about big head room for improvements on the
tda826x, given the results I had on the tda8261 compared on m$ for both.

The flaw on linux was on the tda8261.

I'm sure I did not shut up, but don't have a link for now.

Thanks to Julian in the first place I would expect.

Cheers,
Hermann

We always will have bugs.


  
  Can you point me to the fix?
  
  Cheers,
  Hermann

  Do we have any Tuner/Decoder optimization points in the FE code?
