Hi,
I've got a Pinnacle 300i, which I can't get working. I was on
ubuntu breezy
stock (2.6.12-10-k7) kernel, which didn't work, so I tried
applying patches
i found on the mailing list, to no avail.
Last night I compiled latest 2.6.12-ck9, which behaved
identically
to the
old kernel (with regard to the pinnacle). I've just tried the
patch from
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-May/010152.html
there, but that makes no difference either. So I'm currently
running latest
hg pull, with that patch, and i get these messages in dmesg
(these have been the same regardless of what kernel/patch i've
been running):
[snip]
Any ideas what's going on here?
(The card works in Windows, so I don't think its a DOA)
Hmm, strange - the card was reported as working with that latest
patch. Has it
ever worked in linux? (I saw you tested it in windows so at
least
the
hardware is ok)
Nope, never worked. Always that same error, too. Makes me
wonder if
there's something unique about my box. No idea what though...
Can you send details of an example channel you're trying to tune
under linux?
Perhaps the demod requires tweaking...
Ok, I think is what you mean (but I'm not sure)...
gm@kimiko:~$ tzap -c channels.conf 'BBC ONE'
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 722166670 Hz
video pid 0x0258, audio pid 0x0259
status 00 | signal ffff | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
status 00 | signal 000f | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |

status 00 | signal 000f | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
...(every further line identical).
This is accompanied by a whole load of mt352_pinnacle_init called
messages in the logs.
The frequency is right (pulled out of a channel.conf from a working
machine).
ok, can you send the BBC ONE line from your channels.conf as well
please?
ah, sorry. Yes:
BBC
ONE:
722166670:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_3_4:QAM_16:TRANS
MI
SSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE:600:601:4170
Hmm, just noticed something odd in the driver -
linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/mt352.c/mt352_set_parameters()
line 283, it says:
buf[3] = 0x50; // old
// buf[3] = 0xf4; // pinnacle
Wanna try swapping those over and see if it does anything? I'll
find out what
thats actually doing in the meantime.
Uhm. My (wonderful*) housemate unplugged my aerial cable.
Things seem to work now. I'll just have a fiddle and see if I can
find what fixed it.
Sorry to be so stupid.
Greg
*no seriously, he did tidy the lounge. It's just that involved
removing my long cable.
