Hello there.
I have spent the best part of 6 hours trying to get a WinTV-Nova-T PCI
card working on my system (amd64, gentoo kernel 2.6.12-r7 patched with
the latest downloadable patch for DVB).
I don't even seem to get any error messages. I can tune OK, i think:
---
ben@localhost ~ $ tzap "BBC ONE"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 505833330 Hz
video pid 0x0258, audio pid 0x0259
status 00 | signal f9f9 | snr 0000 | ber 0000ffff | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal 2b2b | snr b8b8 | ber 00004dc9 | unc 00000010 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 2b2b | snr b2b2 | ber 00004dde | unc 00000011 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 2b2b | snr b3b3 | ber 00004c9b | unc 00000003 |

there's nothing of note in dmesg:
---
saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:07.0[A] -> Link [LNK4] -> GSI 3 (level, low)

it is a saa7146 card:

BUT, when i do:
---
ben@localhost ~ $ mplayer "dvb://BBC ONE"
...
Playing dvb://BBC ONE.
FE_GET_INFO error: 22, FD: 3
DVB CONFIGURATION IS EMPTY, exit
Failed to open dvb://BBC ONE
---
and in dmesg:
---
ioctl32(mplayer:11022): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(80a86f3d){00}
arg(ffff8e80) on /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
---
also when i do:
---
ben@localhost ~$ dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer -
---
i just get
---
Reading from stdin...
Cache fill: 0.00% (0 bytes)
---
and nothing in dmesg. (running the dvbstream command without the pipe
just gives the normal header output and Streaming 2 streams.. then nothing.)
ANyone have any idea where I may have gone wrong/what i should try and fix.
FYI: I am using the CVS version of dvbstream
will gladly provide any additional information :p
Kind regards, and thanks in advace,
Ben
