Re: Problem with Kworld ATSC-110

Finished testing...  Looks like the patch did not switch over to the second RF connection.

Could be related to this issue..  The Kworld device does display a picture for a split second
then it goes black with various green boxes shooting around the screen.  The picture is only displayed
on the digital RF connection.  If the antenna is put on the analog RF connection, I only get static for a split
second.

I tried both patches to make sure.

buf[3] |= 0x08;

and

buf[3] &= ~0x08;

Thanks, I'd be happy to test it out. It's not working
for me but I want to make sure I did it right.

The links says the following.

static int nxt200x_set_pll_input(u8 *buf, int input)
{
-    if (input)
-        buf[3] |= 0x08;
-    else
-        buf[3] &= ~0x08;
+    buf[3] |= 0x08;
    return 0;
}

Does this mean remove the code that has the minus and
add the one with the plus so the resulting code is.

static int nxt200x_set_pll_input(u8 *buf, int input)
{
    buf[3] |= 0x08;
    return 0;
}

>From there, make the changes then as root

cd /usr/src/uname -r
make M=drivers/media/video/saa7134

Take the resulting saa7134-dvb.ko and move it to the
/lib/modules/uname
-r/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134

All the other modules in the lib directory are
compressed so take the saa7134-dvb.ko and compress as
saa7134-dvb.ko.gz

Did I do this correctly?
