Thanx! Now it works!!

Watching some Danish (Dansk) channel, about Napoleon.

Thanx again, for mocking me up.. It was the channel.conf, that was wrong

The channel.conf -file that I used before, was 6 month old and from my previous computer. (Now "dvbscan" doesn't detect anything on that bandwidth. And that "TV6" was on that..

If I run dvdscan against the closest mayor city (Malmö in my case, here in south Sweden), it only tunedin encrypted channels. BUT, against all of Denmark (file "dk-All") I get a some..

Its strange though.. I CAN SEE "TV6" unencrypted, but in Windows XP. But there with A program called "PowerCinema" is used (in XP OS). (tuning is a fuzz there also, I believe "PowerCinema" download channels and guides and what, from the internet. It would maybe be a point to retrieve its (channel) configure file. I have looked, but found none.

Another question now, how is all these "initial-tuning-data" created??

Can I compose one, of these by myself (from other nearby citys), or how?

Hello Jonas Andren.
(Kom inte o säg att Anden är dansk)

The Harware I have, I have said. Its the media-card, is this: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Asus_My_Cinema-P7131_Hybrid (running on a amd64, mother-board m2a-vm.. Inköpt på Kjell&Co byggsats för 2 veckor sedan...

I also said that the same Media-card did function (somewhat) on my old computer (a PII330MHz, though with terrible video result). And it works in Windows XP. So, the Media-card function.

I downloaded&installed linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.1.tar.bz2 <http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.1.tar.bz2> (and all so called utils: "dvbdate" "dvbtrafick" "scan" and "zap" worked. BUT, nothing under the test)

you should prefer dvb-apps from mercurial, but that is not so important.


There is a deb-package called "mercurial".
(I suspect it doesnt have anything, todo with this, no?)

First of all I would like to see relevant "dmesg" stuff for the card
and tuner to see if it is still likely the same card, auto detected and
eeprom content unchanged and all chips alive. If you enable i2c_scan=1
you look first for the devices found.
I used the linux-kernels-source. in its documents for this. Downloaded the firmware.. (I include dmesg output in the end of this email, anyway. The revision is 20, and not a LifeView fabrication..

Also we never saw, if your firmware upload is successful and if you use
preferably revision 29 with such a card with Low Noise Amplifier.
If not, download it from LifeView with the script in /Documentation/dvb
and do a cold boot. (recent stuff is in a v4l-dvb mercurial snapshot)

Antenna input for DVB-T is FM/RF input.

Can you point to the initial tuning file you are using or to what you
believe is a valid channels.conf file for you?

It is always worth a try to set all to AUTO in the initial tuning file,
except frequency to tune and bandwidth and then use "scan" to create a
channels.conf.

Yes, now my system is relatively fresh, again (I dont load any kernel-module with any extra options).

If still not, we install the recent v4l-dvb, remove all old modules and
might try to debug from there.

Cheers,
Hermann




I also tried to compile the kernel (there was this option there VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG). But unfortunately I cut away so other stuff, soo the new kernel got panic at bootup. Another story..

It was the "channel.conf" that was wrong.. Thx again!
(what a fuzz)
