Hello Marcus,
This is not correct. I have been using Roger's replacement version of
xc3028_DTV7_2633.i2c.fw (original file + xc3028.au.fw - 1 byte). I was
experimenting with capturing my own firmware about a week ago but gave
that up when I was not making any progress.
Hi Daniel,
in case of the xc3028-tuner the base firmware is a mixture of "the
real base firmware" and device specific settings, in case of the
format specific firmwares there are extra firmwares for australia
available, I received a patch for adding full firmware 2.5 support for
Geniatech devices (in the end it won't help much for your device) and
read some comments about it in the code.
+ {BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ ,"xc3028_8MHz_init0.i2c.fw",
"xc3028_DTV78_2620.i2c.fw" },//fw25 Germany,Spain
+// {BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ ,"xc3028_8MHz_init0.i2c.fw",
"xc3028_DTV8_2620.i2c.fw" },//fw25 UK, France
+ {BANDWIDTH_7_MHZ ,"xc3028_8MHz_init0.i2c.fw",
"xc3028_DTV78_2620.i2c.fw" },//fw25 Germany,Spain
+// {BANDWIDTH_7_MHZ ,"xc3028_8MHz_init0.i2c.fw",
"xc3028_DTV7_2620.i2c.fw" },//fw25 Australia
+ {BANDWIDTH_6_MHZ ,"xc3028_init0.i2c.fw",
"xc3028_DTV6_QAM_2620.i2c.fw"},//fw25Taiwan
the problem are the device specific settings, not all manufacturers
will tell us the correct settings so this is the first specific part
we usually have.
you need to have some luck if you're able to get it work with some
other firmwares.
Anyway do you know the exact difference between DVB-T in Australia and
other countries?
Markus
