Assistance writing patch for Nova-T 500 stuttering problems

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

 



Hi there,

The Nova-T 500 has some serious problems with some channels in various 
locations around Australia. These channels show serious video 
break-up/stuttering like there is poor reception, however this is not 
the case.   Using other tuners (e.g. other cards, or tuners in TVs), or 
using the Nova-T 500 on Windows doesn't exhibit these problems.  I 
raised this issue 3 or four months ago 
(http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-April/017065.html).

Patrick Boettcher indicated that it relates to some peculiarities with 
the DVB broadcast 
(http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-April/017102.html).    
The Hauppauge windows drivers now have a registry key 
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HCW99BDA\Parameters\FixSFN) 
that can be used to modify the tuner's behaviour to fix this problem.

I'd like to work on a patch for the drivers to add a module option 
"fix_sfn", that does the same as the windows drivers.  But need to know 
what registry settings need to be changed.  If Patrick or someone from 
Hauupauge or Dibcom could give me this information, I'd like to develop 
the initial patch.

Thanks in advance,
Matt
