Re: TT-1500 / TDA10046

I have removed the jumper on the card that provides the amp (there is only one jumper).

But as to whether or not the antenna still shorts I'm not sure. Can I check with a multimeter?

I read about turning off the amp (I2C 0x65) which means little to me! It's on the wiki.

What type of antenna you are using?
My TT-1500 will not get good signal, if the antenna shorts the 5V feed
for antenna amp from
the cards antenna in -connector.

I have had real problems getting the TT-1500 (DVB-T) working.

I have been using dvbtune for some diagnostics.

The following should yield BBC Multiplex on my local transmitter

dvbtune -c 0 -qam 16 -gi 32 -cr 3_4 -bw 8 -tm 2 -f 722000

It does not, I tried adding 166Khz (722166) but no luck.  So I tried
just working my way through some frequencies.  I can get the
FE_STATUS to report FE_HAS_SIGNAL on some frequencies.  I even get
FE_HAS_CARRIER on occasion but never any more than that.

Does this mean the tuner is getting *something*.  It's not random for
sure, I always get this result on the few frequencies I have tried.
I am using 2.6.18.1.  I know the signal (antenna) to be OK as I get
no issues with a CX based DVB-T module, on any frequency I pick.
This has to be a driver or settings issue.  I compile the relevant
modules into the kernel, I get valid firmware loads in dmesg (version
20).

I can insert relevant debugging code if needed - if anyone has any
ideas what might help.  I can send a TT unit out if anyone needs one
to test with.
