I have already going through: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-September/004871.html The card can tune and scan. But no picture. I have try: peterr-alfa2 ~ # czap "RTL 5" using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' reading channels from file '/root/.czap/channels.conf' 4 RTL 5:340000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6875000:FEC_NONE:QAM_64:1910:1911:2009 4 RTL 5: f 340000000, s 6875000, i 2, fec 0, qam 3, v 0x776, a 0x777 status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 6e65672d | unc 34312e36 | status 1f | signal 0000 | snr 3200 | ber 6e65672d | unc 34312e36 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 0000 | snr 3200 | ber 6e65672d | unc 34312e36 | FE_HAS_LOCK And: peterr-alfa2 ~ # cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > /data/test.ts The test.ts is 0 bytes and wont play. And: Mplayer dvb://"RTL 5" Mplayer crashed because it can't read the stream. If I start the czap command this will written in the dmesg (a peace of it): rdc_reset_state: Resetting state machine dst_gpio_outb: mask=[0002], enbb=[0002], outhigh=[0000] dst_gpio_outb: mask=[0002], enbb=[0002], outhigh=[0002] writing [ 09 00 05 30 20 00 1a db 40 6d ] dst_gpio_outb: mask=[ffffffff], enbb=[0000], outhigh=[0000] read_dst: reply is 0xff dst_wait_dst_ready: dst wait ready after 2 read_dst: reply is 0x9 0x0 0x5 0x30 0x20 0x0 0x1a 0xdb 0x40 0x6d dst_comm_init: Initializing DST. dst_gpio_outb: mask=[ffffffff], enbb=[0001], outhigh=[0000] rdc_reset_state: Resetting state machine dst_gpio_outb: mask=[0002], enbb=[0002], outhigh=[0000] dst_gpio_outb: mask=[0002], enbb=[0002], outhigh=[0002] writing [ 00 05 00 00 00 00 00 fb ] dst_gpio_outb: mask=[ffffffff], enbb=[0000], outhigh=[0000] read_dst: reply is 0xff dst_wait_dst_ready: dst wait ready after 2 read_dst: reply is 0x0 0x5 0x0 0x32 0x0 0x5c 0x0 0x6d dst_comm_init: Initializing DST. dst_gpio_outb: mask=[ffffffff], enbb=[0001], outhigh=[0000] rdc_reset_state: Resetting state machine dst_gpio_outb: mask=[0002], enbb=[0002], outhigh=[0000] dst_gpio_outb: mask=[0002], enbb=[0002], outhigh=[0002] writing [ 00 05 00 00 00 00 00 fb ] dst_gpio_outb: mask=[ffffffff], enbb=[0000], outhigh=[0000] read_dst: reply is 0xff dst_wait_dst_ready: dst wait ready after 2 read_dst: reply is 0x0 0x5 0x0 0x32 0x0 0x5c 0x0 0x6d dst_comm_init: Initializing DST. dst_gpio_outb: mask=[ffffffff], enbb=[0001], outhigh=[0000] rdc_reset_state: Resetting state machine dst_gpio_outb: mask=[0002], enbb=[0002], outhigh=[0000] dst_gpio_outb: mask=[0002], enbb=[0002], outhigh=[0002] writing [ 00 05 00 00 00 00 00 fb ] dst_gpio_outb: mask=[ffffffff], enbb=[0000], outhigh=[0000] read_dst: reply is 0xff dst_wait_dst_ready: dst wait ready after 2 read_dst: reply is 0x0 0x5 0x0 0x32 0x0 0x5c 0x0 0x6d There is one thing I didn't try, because I can't find: > try changing the dst_tlist[] (for DCT-CI ) > .type_flags = DST_TYPE_HAS_NEWTUNE | DST_TYPE_HAS_FW_2 > only and see what happens.
