Thanks, I tried but I get a load of compilation errors. I don't know if I have a mt2060.


Look in the syslog, you should see an "MT2060: successfully identified" or if you have a qt1010 "Quantek QT1010 successfully identified.".

I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, I tried


Oop, there's an error there. In the second block between #if 0...#endif there's a "if (strong) {" line, change that to "if (state->strong) {"

debugging it but my little PHP knowledge is not enough to debug C code. I just uncommented everything that said something about the strong signal, maybe I uncommented too much?


there are just two sections of code in function af9005_fe_read_status enclosed in "#if 0" just change that to "#if 1".

To the rest of the list, maybe there should be a standardized way to adjust tuner gain in dvb_tuner_ops or is the mt2060 the only tuner with adjustable gain (even if in its current incarnation mt2060.c doesn't do it)?

Bye


Sorry, I forgot to add the linux-dvb address. But that should be in the reply-to field anyway imho, or available as a setting. I simply forgot to add.

What, top-posting? Wikipedia is helpful.. I didn't know, I prefer top-posting, saves scrollingtime. In fact I was wondering why you were bottom-posting. I'm used to forums, not to mailinglists. On forums you decide yourself if you want to see everything top or bottomposted.. Seriously I didn't know it was a crime!

So I understand I have to change the 0 into a 1 and change state->strong to temp? Not remove the # for if? If that's all correct I guess it didn't really help. Maybe you just get what you pay for then.. On other receivers I get signals from 60 kilometers away, on the afatach vitually nothing (closest transmitter is 27 kilometer). Are you supposed to tape the antenna to the transmitter?

But wait.. *looks at laptop*, suddenly the afatech stick reads the channels from Wavre, Belgium. That's over 80 kilometers away and a pretty weak transmitter. The much stronger signal from Schoten (35 kilometers or so) is blissfully ignored. The image contains some blocks but it's better than the radio I had earlier.

Strange stuff..
