Hi All,
Ok the signal strength thing looks like it's inversed for this card.
Ie I have modded my cx22702.c to be like the following:
static int cx22702_read_signal_strength(struct dvb_frontend* fe, u16*
signal_strength)
{
struct cx22702_state* state = fe->demodulator_priv;
u16 signal = (cx22702_readreg (state, 0x23) << 8) |
cx22702_readreg (state, 0x23);
*signal_strength = ~signal;
return 0;
}
At least we get a meaningful figure out of it now.
Cheers
Dave
