terraTec Cynergy 1200 DVB-T configuration problems.

[Marcus Fihlon <marcus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I have a TerraTec Cynergy 1200 DVB-T (PCI card) working perfectly with Windows XP Professional SP2 and TerraTec Home Cinema Software 4.09 -- so hardware installation is fine. But "unfortunately" I switched from Windows to Linux (openSUSE 10.1) and now I have problems watching and recording TV.

My system is a Pentium 4 with HT and 2.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 120+160 GB SATA and 200 GB USB2 Harddisks (all about 50 % free space and working fast enough) and a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card (AGP, 128 MB).

My DVB-card seems to have a SAA7146 chip and is using the "budget_av" driver (that's what YaST hardware information module is telling me). As I saw this I was happy - The card was recognizes and a driver loaded. A "lsmod" shows me the modules "budget_av", "budget_core", "dvb_core", "dvb_pll", "firmware_class", "saa7146", "saa7146_vv", "stv0299", "tda10021", "tda1004x", "ttpci_eeprom", "v4l1_compat", "v4l2_common", "video_buf" and "videodev" were loaded. In "/dev/dvb" I got the directory "adapter0" (it is the only one, correct) with the device files "ca0", "demux0", "dvr0", "frontend0" and "net0". They are owned by "root" and belong to the group "video", where I am a member of.

Important: Inside "/lib/firmware" I have already the files "dvb-fe-tda10045.fw", "dvb-fe-tda10046.fw", "dvb-ttpci-01.fw-261f" and "ttlcdacc.dll".

Now I start "kaffeine". Inside "kaffeine" I configure my recognized DVB-card (shown in "kaffeine" as a "Philips TDA10046H DVB-T") to use "de-Kiel" (which worked in Windows very well). But when I go the channel configuration and start the channel search, no channels are found. Starting "kaffeine" directly from the terminal shows me the following output:

Two statements make me feel unhappy: "Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency" and "dvbsi: Cant tune DVB". Any Ideas what I can do without reinstalling Windows, which is gone already? I hope someone can give me a tip becaused I unsuccesfully spent three days searching the whole Internet for help and this DVB-card is the only solution for me watching TV (my TV is broken and I'm waiting for the and of the soccer world cup, maybe I can buy a cheap LCD TV than... ;-)

Thank you all
Marcus
