Fwd: FusionHDTV Dual (PCI+USB) tuning problems

["Daniel Deptford" <linuxtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

 

I have the aforementioned board installed on a gentoo system, using the vanilla 2.6.17.6 sources.  In case you don't know, its a PCI+USB combo board and it is connected to my motherboard via an internal USB connector.

 

I've managed to finally get all the drivers recognisning my board, but dvbscan moans at me (using both -a0 and -a1) with:

 

MediaPC dvb-t # dvbscan uk-CrystalPalace
scanning uk-CrystalPalace
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 505833333 0 3 9 1 0 0 0
>>> tune to: 505833333:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_AUTO:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
>>> tune to: 505833333:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_AUTO:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE (tuning failed)
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
ERROR: initial tuning failed
dumping lists (0 services)
Done.
 

I thought it might have been a range thing, so i found a definition of a transmitter about 2 miles away:

 

MediaPC dvb-t # cat uk-Guildford
# Carlton / LWT Region Guildford
# T freq bw fec_hi fec_lo mod transmission-mode guard-interval hierarchy
T 833000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM16 2k 1/32 NONE
 

Still no dice:

 

MediaPC dvb-t # dvbscan uk-Guildford
scanning uk-Guildford
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 833000000 0 3 9 1 0 0 0

dmesg log:

 

MediaPC firmware # dmesg |grep "dvb"
cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.5 loaded
cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based dvb card
dvb-usb: found a 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB' in cold state, will try to load a firmware

dvb-usb: DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB successfully initialized and connected.

 

 

checking the devices are present:

 

MediaPC firmware # ls /dev/dvb
adapter0  adapter1
MediaPC firmware # ls /dev/dvb/adapter0/
demux0  dvr0  frontend0  net0
MediaPC firmware #
 

 

I'm completely at a loss.  Before trying the board out under linux, I used the vista beta media center and that did find the channels alright (but I plan on using MythTV).

 

I would really appreciate any help you could give me!

 

Thanks

 

Daniel
