Hi Mark, Some news: I have gotten 2.6.18-rc2 to work - I just used my .config file from 2.6.17.6, which worked a treat :) Hope this didn't kill a whole lot of new stuff. I can't say I'm all that much of a kernel hacker :) I have to agree with you - I am getting the same sort of thing. Here's what I did: 1) Got 2.6.18-rc2 working... 2) tzap -a0 "ABC HDTV" returns a good SNR 3) tzap -a1 "ABC HDTV" returns a good SNR Btw, I am using Chris Pascoe's channels.conf from his website: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/ 4) Now, I have tried recording using: tzap -a0 -r "ABC HDTV (in another terminal) cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > testvideo.mpg This will record a file. I can tune in using Kaffine and get a picture (though not in MythTV, not that I tried all that hard) 5) And, tried the same thing with adaptor1 tzap -a1 -r "ABC HDTV (in another terminal) cat /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 > testvideo.mpg Which results in a zero length file. Curiously, Kaffeine thinks it can record on this adaptor (I had a look at the text, and it opened up adaptor1 to record), but playing back results in nothing. No such problem with adaptor0. 5) Downloaded the latest hg v4l sources, cleaned, compiled, installed, rebooted. 6) Now I have a problem... won't recognise either of them... dmesg | grep dvb returns: Dvb_usb_cxusb: disagrees about version of symbol cx22702_attatch And a whole bunch of others. A short google search says (if I am interpreting it right) that there is a conflict between two different versions. I'm going to have a look at this and see what I can work out.... To answer a previous question, my dvb apps is from a yum install, it says it's version 1.1.1, release 3.fc5 Cheers Damien. -----Original Message----- From: Mark [mailto:test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, 30 July 2006 9:51 PM To: Mark Cc: Damien Dusha; linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Dvico Dual Digital Card... Problems gettingUSBWorking Hi Damien, I have made a bit of progress. Since the PCI side of my card is working. I decided to produce my channels.conf file. I ran dvbscan -a1 /usr/share/dvb/scan/dvb-t/au-sydney_north_shore > channels.conf. Copied hte channels.conf to .tzap/channels.conf I then tried tuning the PCI part of the card which I knew would work. mythbox ~ # tzap -a1 -r 'ABC TV Sydney' using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0' reading channels from file '/root/.tzap/channels.conf' tuning to 226500000 Hz video pid 0x0200, audio pid 0x028a status 00 | signal 8004 | snr 1414 | ber bfa47d64 | unc bfa53a68 | status 1f | signal 8004 | snr e5e5 | ber bfa47d64 | unc bfa53a68 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 8004 | snr e2e2 | ber bfa47d64 | unc bfa53a68 | FE_HAS_LOCK And it did. Out of curiousity I tried to tune the USB part of the card as well. mythbox ~ # tzap -a0 -r 'ABC TV Sydney' using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' reading channels from file '/root/.tzap/channels.conf' tuning to 226500000 Hz video pid 0x0200, audio pid 0x028a status 01 | signal 8004 | snr 0000 | ber bff1aa34 | unc bff26738 | status 1f | signal 8004 | snr f1f1 | ber bff1aa34 | unc bff26738 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 8004 | snr f0f0 | ber bff1aa34 | unc bff26738 | FE_HAS_LOCK And weirdly it tunes and locks as well. If I try to capture from the card by running # tzap -a0 -r 'ABC TV Sydney' and in another window # cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > testvideo.mpg This results in a 0 byte file. Doing this on the PCI part of the card results a proper mpg file.... Just thought that you may try the same as long as the frontends are comming up.
