Lifeview Hybric PCI problems mainly with dvb-t

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

 



hi,
   Yesterday I bought Lifeview Hybrid PCI(Analog TV, DVB-T and radio FM).
The problem with this card is that I cannot tune to dvb-t channels.
I run 2.6.20.3 and used latest mercurial snapshot for v4l.

$lspci -vvv :

05:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)

dmesg output:
 The module seems to find the firmware somewhere but it isn't anywhere
 in my system as a single file (dvb-fe-tda10046.fw).

 Later I pulled the firmware using the get_dvb_firmware perl script but that 
 didn't make dvb-t to work so I deleted it.
 I tried both tda10046lifeview and tda10046 firmwares.
 I don't run hotplug though..

I can watch analog tv with no sound.I did some tests with sox
with both saa7137-alsa and saa7137-oss but no luck here.
I haven't tried the radio yet.
I see nothing for the remote at /proc/bus/input/devices.
But the feature that I desperately want to use is dvb-t because I kinda
bought it more for it to do some recording of next week's shows starting
on Sunday :) .

Using scan with latest (mercurial snapshot) dvb-apps I get the following:
Settings of gr-Athens file are correct.
(Didn't have any luck with kaffeine either.)

$./scan ./gr-Athens
scanning ./gr-Athens
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
ERROR: initial tuning failed
dumping lists (0 services)
Done.

(After the scan dvbsnoop reports that inversion is off.)
I assumed it was a singal strength problem so I installed Windows and
the card worked ok with dvb-t.
On the card there is a SAA1733 chip but on the wiki I didn't find any other card
with that chip so that I cound try parsing it as a parameter and check dvb-t usage.

Any ideas primarely on how to get dvb-t to work ?


PS:If it is to look at the driver code, should I be looking at
TDA10046 , SAA1734 or both ?
