Hi, Matthias
Hi Eduard!
I've been performing some tests using your patch for this card.
Right now neither dvbscan nor kaffeine are able to find any channel on
Astra (the sat. my dish points to).
However, Kaffeine has been giving me some interesting results: with your
driver "as is" it's getting me a 13-14% signal level and ~52% SNR when
scanning. Then, thinking that the problem is related to the low signal I
have I've changed the gain levels used to program the tuner: you were
using default values of 0 for all (in zl1003x_set_gain_params()
function, variables "rfg", "ba" and "bg"), and I've changed them top the
maximum (according to the documentation: rfg=1, ba=bg=3). With that, I'm
getting a 18% signal level, which is higher but still too low apparently
to get a lock.
I've stopped here, because I really don't have the necessary background
to keep tweaking the driver. I just wanted to share it with you, as
maybe you have some idea on how to continue or what else could be done.
So I can do only this guess:
I changed demod driver to invert the Polarization voltage for a700 card.
This is controlled by member-variable voltage_inverted.
static struct mt312_config avertv_a700_mt312 = {
.demod_address = 0x0e,
.voltage_inverted = 1,
};
Can you try to comment the voltage_inverted line here (saa7134-dvb.c: line
865).
BUT: If this helps we need to find out how to detect which card needs this
enabled/disabled.
Regards
Matthias
Hi,
Nothing :(. Removing (or setting it to 0) the voltage_inverted member
doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm starting to suspect that there
is something wrong with my antennae setup, so I'll test it later using
an standalone STB or by plugging the card into a Windows computer and
using the supplied drivers.
Regards,
Eduard
Hi again...
Just some more feedback: I've unplugged the card and put it onto a
different PC running both Windows and Gentoo. In Windows the card runs
perfectly, I can see all the (free) channels, so I can be sure there's
no problem with my antennae setup.
In Linux it doesn't work, neither in this PC (P4 running Gentoo 32) nor
in the mediacenter PC (AMD AthlonXP running Gentoo 64). It seems we are
missing something fundamental here... :(
Best regards,
Eduard
