Problem tuning with Freecom USB DVB-T receiver

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

 



I'm having some trouble getting a Freecom-branded USB DVB-T receiver
working properly.  It gets firmware loaded, and is detected seemingly
correctly.  This is where the fun ends:

Using a channels.conf generated by dvbscan with a properly working PCI
card, tzap fails to lock when trying to tune to BBC1:

$ tzap 'BBC ONE'
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/home/mru/.tzap/channels.conf'
tuning to 489833330 Hz
pmt pid 0x1043, video pid 0x0258, audio pid 0x0259
status 20 | signal ffff | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
status 20 | signal ffff | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
status 20 | signal ffff | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |

status 20 | signal ffff | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |

status 20 | signal ffff | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 

Some frequencies seem fine, though:

$ tzap 'Film4'
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/home/mru/.tzap/channels.conf'
tuning to 570166670 Hz
pmt pid 0x6a00, video pid 0x02bd, audio pid 0x02be

status 1f | signal 3e3e | snr b3b3 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

status 1f | signal 3e3e | snr b3b3 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 3f3f | snr b3b3 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 3f3f | snr b3b3 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 3e3e | snr b3b3 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 3f3f | snr b3b3 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

Testing all frequencies in my channel list, I get these results:

489833330 BAD
513833330 BAD
530167000 OK
545833330 BAD
562166670 OK
570166670 OK

Does anyone have an idea what's going on here?  I've tried the drivers
that come with Linux 2.6.20 and the latest development tree, getting
the same results with both.  I'm getting no error messages from the
drivers.

Is there any other information I might provide to help get this fixed?
