Hi folks, I've installed my new(ish) HD5000 card, generally following instructions I've found in other posts (thanks to the various posters!). Kernel is 2.6.15, with Gentoo patches and a few others for ACPI DSDT reloading, and forcedeth and snd_hda_intel upgrades. I've replaced the kernel dvb drivers with those in CVS. This all seems to be working, in that I can watch TV in mplayer. However, the signal strength etc are missing from azap output, thus: test atsc # ./azap -c /tmp/my_channels KNTV using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' tuning to 207000000 Hz video pid 0x0000, audio pid 0x0000 status 00 | signal 0000 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal 0000 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 0000 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 0000003c | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 0000 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 0000 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 0000 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK Now I've seen mention of a patch, hd5000-cleanup.patch. I can't tell whether this has incorporated into the latest CVS code. The code in CVS seems to have some calculation of signal strength in files frontends/nxt2002.c and b2c2/stv0297_cs2.c, but as you can see above it isn't doing much. Unfortunately, the hd5000-cleanup patch doesn't seem to be available online any longer, not at its original location on digitalregime, nor anywhere Google has indexed. Any suggestions, or does anyone have a new pointer to the patch? Or is there some more reasonable way to try to determine signal strength? :/ Thanks in advance, glen _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
