patch contains correction for viterbi monitor flag, wrong SYNC register
bit used before in ves1820.c(?).
cant use hg head - doesnt build dvb-ttpci.ko dont know why, yet.

tom
<schorpp> lo
<schorpp> I am on the qam256 problems with some FF cards dvb
<schorpp>
<schorpp> created a diagnostics patch for ves1820.c
<schorpp> after trial'n'error with AGCCONF register the register readings are wrong although the register accepts my values
<schorpp> Aug 2 14:51:28 tom1 kernel: ves1820: VAGC 0xff
<schorpp> Aug 2 14:51:28 tom1 kernel: ves1820: AGCCONF 0x13
<schorpp> Aug 2 14:51:28 tom1 kernel: ves1820: PWMREF 0x13
<schorpp> it always reads 0x13 whatever i write to the reg
<schorpp> may the av7110 firmware interfere?
<schorpp> not opened the box yet
<schorpp> PIN VAGC is connected to AGC input of fusi dvb-c, right?
<schorpp> seems no regulation IMPL
<schorpp> dev-list says why
<schorpp> many different tuners
<schorpp> source says of a pwm data member
* timonator (n=timonato@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) has joined #linuxtv
<schorpp> it is configured used to control PIN FEL
<schorpp> what do you control with pwm value?
<schorpp> ADC input of tuner PLL?
<schorpp> ?
<KeefR> aren't there some registers, that are write-only?
<schorpp> KeefR, yes but..
<schorpp> none of those i used
<schorpp> and no if then only read only
<schorpp> ...
<schorpp> 1st i want to try is AGC working
<schorpp> 2nd filters adaption if neccessary
<schorpp> need AGC cause incoming signal is out of ADC capture range (clipping)
<schorpp> ves1820 ADC
<schorpp> Aug 2 14:51:28 tom1 kernel: ves1820: VAFC -3
<schorpp> normal, works on qam64 channels
<KeefR> got a ves1820, too, but qam256 works here
<schorpp> KeefR: manufacturer and type of card, driver version?
<schorpp> cable provider? ;)
<schorpp> which
<schorpp> ...
<schorpp> yes much things DO WORK FOR ME too ;)
<schorpp> ok showing code..
<schorpp> heres the diag patch:
<schorpp> http://paste.lisp.org/display/23544
<schorpp> http://pastebin.com/761837
<schorpp> pls review
<KeefR> schorpp: hauppage dvb-c rev 2.1, kable-bw, cvs driver (6ebb57bfac7d)
<schorpp> old cvs or hg ?
<schorpp> :)
<schorpp> list states there were problems with this card
<schorpp> around may 06
<schorpp> interesting
<KeefR> hg
<KeefR> but i have probs tuning to higher frequencies, not enough snr, some channels aren't even revognized
<schorpp> no relevant changes for this problem 2.6.17.7...hg head
<schorpp> probs?
<schorpp> which cable provider? 2nd Q
<KeefR> kabel-bw
<schorpp> me too :o
<schorpp> <-- karlsruhe süd
<KeefR> status 1f | signal ffff | snr ecec | ber 00100824 | unc 00000001 | FE_HAS_LOCK
<KeefR> fta radio with 256qam at 650mhz
<schorpp> ber too high
<KeefR> muehlburg ;-)
<KeefR> it works
<schorpp> hehe
<KeefR> but higher than 650mhz there are more probs, orf with 256qam at 450mhz is no probs
* schorpp gives KeefR a cold fresh beer
<KeefR> no beer today...had enough the last two days
<schorpp> *whine* cant get orf1
<schorpp> FE: VLSI VES1820 DVB-C (DVBC)
<schorpp> status SCVYL | signal ffff | snr ecec | ber 004bb310 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK
<schorpp> status SCVYL | signal ffff | snr e3e3 | ber 004dc0d8 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK
<schorpp> :(
<schorpp> house amp is wisi vx63
<KeefR> status 1f | signal ffff | snr eeee | ber 0002fc42 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
<KeefR> orf1
<KeefR> don't know about the house amp
* schorpp gives KeefR a coffee
<schorpp> go downstairs ;)
<KeefR> but normal cables didn't work, had to make one myself
<schorpp> yeah me too, from mükra shop
<schorpp> unchristian expensive :[
<KeefR> well, last weekend i bought one at familia...10 euro for 3m, but that one works as well as my selfmade
<schorpp> :/ LOL
* alan|philo has quit ("Leaving")
<KeefR> i'm thinking about buying an amplifier
<KeefR> but I'll probably try to rent a dvb-c receiver first and check with that one
<schorpp> yeah
<schorpp> me too looking for someone who has got latest kabelbox version
<KeefR> at least the house amp isn't limited to 450mhz
