I have a pcHDTV 3000 (ATSC) using the DVB drivers included with the 2.6.12
vanilla kernel.org release. I also tried 2.6.12-rc6 a couple days ago,
and had a patched up 2.6.10 using the original release of the cx88 dvb
stuff from CVS that behaved the same way.
I can use azap to tune the card just fine. A good signal is indicated and
a lock is shown. MythTV can also do this.
monmotha@enlight:~$ /usr/src/dvb-apps/util/szap/azap -r WFYI
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 515000000 Hz
video pid 0x0000, audio pid 0x0000
status 1f | signal dcab | snr cd37 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal f2af | snr fbff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal f603 | snr fc09 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
I have also tried other local stations (including WTHR, WISH [VHF], and
WXIN for those going and looking up the Indianapolis area). All behave
the same.
Assuming there's no inversion in the numbers going on and higher is better
for both signal level and SNR, that would appear to be a pretty stellar
signal quality. However, no data is passed through /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
(kernel messages confirm that the pcHDTV is adapter0). I am using the -r
option to azap. I have checked that no data is being passed using
dvbtraffic (sits there and does nothing) and test_sections from the testsuite:
monmotha@enlight:/usr/src/dvb-apps/test$ ./test_sections 0
test_sections: using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
PID 0x0000
Filter 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

0x00 0x00 0x00
MythTV also can acquire a lock on all my local stations, but then sees no
PID information and gives up.
The test apps (from dvb-apps) being used are all from CVS. Kernel is
again 2.6.12 final, but older revisions behaved in the same way.
I've also tried QAM with my cable provider and the same thing happens:
tune, lock, no data.
