Hi all,

I have discussed with the people involved with Hauppauge at DiBcom and
wanted to know the problem.

They explained me, that the actual problem/mistake is the broadcaster:
They are using SFNs (single-frequency network, a DVB-T mux is transmitted
by several, geographically different, transmitters) and each transmitter
has its own cell-id in the TPS. As the channels are the same, the cell-id
should be the same as well.

I have the register settings for the dib3000p and dib7000p (no rev-eng
necessary) which disable some algos to work-around that. However I would
like to make that a module-load option, because here in France and afaik
in Berlin, Germany, the SFNs are OK and disable the algos may cost other
performance problems.

I will try to prepare a patch for that as soon as I can.


Hi Patrick,

I'm also affected by this region specific problem (in Melbourne,
Australia) and have been following this thread.  I was about to give
up on the card, and dare I say, admit defeat and sell it off to a
Windows user!  It's good to see that you have a good relationship with
the chip manufacturers and have managed to secure the knowledge to
resolve the problem as they have done so with the windows drivers.

I don't have any driver development experience so I can't assist you
here on the code side but I'd be more than happy to apply any
diffs/patches and test as appropriate.  Also assisting with
documentation might be another way I can reciprocate.  Please let me
know if I can help out in any way.

Cheers,

Chris
