activy dvb-t: Card should be recognized but...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I have a dvb-t card Activy DVB-T Budget (based on SAA7146 and lsi l64781).
There's driver for all these chips I think but I have some problems
with this card I explain:

first it wasn't detected by the driver so Christophe (on linuxtv irc
channel) writes me a patch wich makes the card detect (see dmesg
below).

If I do a dvbscan it says:

scanning be-Charleroi
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 754000000 0 2 9 1 1 2 0
tune to: 754000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_AUTO:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_8:HIERARCHY_NONE
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
tune to: 754000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_AUTO:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_8:HIERARCHY_NONE
(tuning failed)
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
ERROR: initial tuning failed
dumping lists (0 services)
Done.

Params are OK because a friend has the same and it works ;-)

One output of tzap:
status 01 | signal 3535 | snr 0000 | ber 0000ffff | unc 00000000 |

(status is sometimes 03)

Christophe says that bit error rate: 0000ffff should be 0


So my question: all chips should be recognized and detected so why
this doesn't work at all ?


If you want to see the card and chips: http://ato.linux-charleroi.be/dvbt/

see the patch in attach (the loop was to be sur about the adress I think)

dmesg:

I think I have all information needed... ;-)


Thanks for help
