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 | 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 | 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 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 3e3e | snr bfbf | 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 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. dmesg: usb 2-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 22 usb 2-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice dvb-usb: found a 'WideView WT-220U PenType Receiver (Typhoon/Freecom)' in cold state, will try to load a firmware dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-wt220u-fc03.fw' usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_dtt200u usb 2-5: USB disconnect, address 22 dvb-usb: generic DVB-USB module successfully deinitialized and disconnected. usb 2-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 23 usb 2-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice dvb-usb: found a 'WideView WT-220U PenType Receiver (Typhoon/Freecom)' in warm state. dvb-usb: will use the device's hardware PID filter (table count: 15).
