Re: [vdr] [PATCH] vdr-1.7.21 & DVB-T2 support
Ok I agree "pure luck" plays a part on my behalf. All my DVB-T2 channels are QAM256 so none of the other DVB-T cards would ever be selected to tune to a DVB-T2 channel, at least in the UK at present. --- On Thu, 22/12/11, Rolf Ahrenberg wrote: > From: Rolf Ahrenberg > Subject: Re: [vdr] [PATCH] vdr-1.7.21 & DVB-T2 support > To: "VDR Mailing List" > Date: Thursday, 22 December, 2011, 11:24 > On Thu, 22 Dec 2011, Stuart Morris > wrote: > > > I'm running 1.7.21 with a DVB-T and DVB-T2.

Well, your T2 channels are most propably using PLP id 0 and your driver is defaulting to that one, so your working setup is pure luck until the broadcasting systems are getting more complex :) Also without the patch there's no mechanism to prevent your DVB-T cards tuning to DVB-T2 channels.

I believe Rolf's patch (see below for original) is more about adding full DVB-T2 spec compliance. The fact that Freeview HD channels you've added manually are working isn't the same thing :) On 17 November 2011 23:05, Rolf Ahrenberg wrote: > Hi, > > here's my attempt to provide a native DVB-T2 support for VDR. > > - added initial libsi support for the required T2 delivery system descriptor > - updated bandwidth, modulation, transmission, guard settings to match > DVB-T2 specs > - added a new PLP id to channel parameters and tuning mechanism > - requires DVB API 5.3 > - implementation is analog to the current DVB-S/S2 extending the existing > delivery system field > - shortcomings: PLP id can be found also in DVB-T channel configuration (but > doesn't affect anything) and the new channels.conf values could be a bit > more intuitive > > It seems to work here in Finland with my limited access to local DVB-T2 > muxes, but no guarantees. :) > > BR, > -- > rofa > ___ > vdr mailing list > vdr@linuxtv.org > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr > ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] [PATCH] vdr-1.7.21 & DVB-T2 support
I'm running 1.7.21 with a DVB-T and DVB-T2. The only patch I have is for decoding the compressed EPG for UK Freeview HD. Does DVB-T2 need special handling in VDR? That's not been my experience. I suspect it depends on the tuner driver. I'm using a PCTV nanoStick 290e. --- On Wed, 21/12/11, Rolf Ahrenberg wrote: > From: Rolf Ahrenberg > Subject: Re: [vdr] [PATCH] vdr-1.7.21 & DVB-T2 support > To: "VDR Mailing List" > Date: Wednesday, 21 December, 2011, 14:24 > No comments?

Re: [vdr] [PATCH] vdr-1.7.21 & DVB-T2 support
No comments? Am I really the only one running such a DVB-T + DVB-T2 system? Anyway, this has worked quite nicely for a rather long time on my setup, and therefore I strongly suggest the integration of the patch into the official VDR tree before the next stable release.
