Hi Harmut

Few weeks ago, i modified the driver to support the LNA on this card.
So can you please try the recent version of the driver? You might
set the option debug=1 for the modules tuner and tda827x.

Another possible cause is that many drivers ignore the channel
parameters while the tda10046 doesn't. You can set all to auto
except bandwidth.

Best regards

i've installed new driver from mercurial this morning.
Then loaded modules tuner and tda827x with debug=1.
On modules loading this is kernel output

tuner 2-004b: chip at addr 4b is a tda8290
tuner 2-004b: Setting mode_mask to 0x0e
tuner 2-004b: chip found @ 0x96 (saa7133[0])
tuner 2-004b: Calling set_type_addr for type=54, addr=0xff, mode=0x04,
config=0x01
tuner 2-004b: set addr for type -1
tuner 2-004b: defining GPIO callback
tuner 2-004b: tuner 0x4b: called during i2c_client register by adapter's
attach_inform
tuner 2-004b: defining GPIO callback
tuner 2-004b: setting tuner address to 61
tuner 2-004b: type set to tda8290+75a
tuner 2-004b: saa7133[0] tuner I2C addr 0x96 with type 54 used for 0x0e
tda827x: tda827x_attach:
tda827x: tda827xa tuner found
DVB: registering new adapter (saa7133[0]).
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Philips TDA10046H DVB-T)...

Later as you said i've try to scan on differnt settings particulary

T 482000000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO NONE
T 506000000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO NONE

During scan kernel output is :

tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock
tda1004x: found firmware revision 20 -- ok
tda827x: tda8275a AGC2 gain is: 10
tda827x: tda8275a AGC2 gain is: 10
tda827x: tda8275a AGC2 gain is: 10  ......

and this last message is continuely repeated during scan

Result is :
Filter timoet for frequency 506 and channels from 482 ( and other
frequencies)

With w_scan, i'm also able to see many others channels unfortunately
xine give me a message :
input_dvb: ERROR: Trying to get lock...

kaffeine with its scan, show me only few channels (20 on 70), probably
because it find during scan more noise than good quality signal on some
channel
and unfortunately i can't use channels.conf from scan because it's not
compatible with kaff.

Thanks

You log shows me 2 things:
- you seem to have a very low antenna energy (or there is something
  wrong with my LNA handler. I don't have such a card, so i can't test)
- You should download the firmware from Lifeview. It is more recent (2.9)
  and locks better on bad signals.
In my personal repository http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hhackmann/v4l-dvb
there is a bug fix which might affect your card as well. I originally
considered it minor but this seems not to be the case.

Can you please check this before we continue?

Hartmut
I have replaced my firmware with new firmware from lifeview and then i have pull down your personal repository, compiled and installed it. Result is the same, xine and mplayer are both blocked (tryng to get lock ) i can view channel only in kaffeine. Scan give much more result from "kaffeine scan" but i can't test it because as i said mplayer and xine doesn't works. Scan results and log from kernel is the same from previous maybe a little number channel ( those that have bad signal) from scan result now are not present.

no new channel and timeout pid from some frequence 506.

Now I use a new (3 month) central antenna from the top of building.
Today i will test another antenna (a little mobile) to discovery if something change.

Because u have not this cards, if u wanna test something (new code etc) also in the future, mail me, there's no problem.
I can test for u send the output....

Best Regards
