Hi! After two defective devices I got now a working one from pinnacle support (I tested it in Windows and it works fine). But under Linux I could not get a positive scan or channel-lock. Could please anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I read the list and searched the list archive and did everything described here, but my device isn't working. I followed the instructions of the wiki about this device: hg clone http://www.jusst.de/hg/multiproto wget -O pctv452e.patch http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/attachments/20080125/b9e1d749/attachment-0001.patch cd multiproto patch -p1 < ../pctv452e.patch make ; # there might be a few warnings. cd v4l insmod dvb-core.ko insmod dvb-pll.ko insmod stb6100.ko verbose=0 insmod stb0899.ko verbose=0 insmod lnbp22.ko insmod dvb-usb.ko insmod dvb-usb-pctv452e.ko # in case some insmod complains about unresolved symbols: modprobe firmware_class I can compile multiproto and install the modules. The device ist recognized when plugged in: syslog tells this: Feb 21 17:01:42 dev kernel: usb 3-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Feb 21 17:01:42 dev kernel: usb 3-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Feb 21 17:01:42 dev kernel: dvb-usb: found a 'PCTV HDTV USB' in warm state.

I downloaded the dvb-apps: hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps I downloaded the patched scan: wget http://jusst.de/manu/scan.tar.bz2 I downloaded the patched szap: wget http://abraham.manu.googlepages.com/szap.c I updated version.h and frontend.h in the include path with the version of multiproto. Everything compiles fine, but finally nothing works. When I scan for channels, this is the output after some time: scanning dvb-s/Astra-19.2E using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 12551500 V 22000000 22000000 ----------------------------------> Using 'STB0899 Multistandard' DVB-S Tune to frequency 12551500 DVB-S IF freq is 1951500 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! Tune to frequency 12551500 DVB-S IF freq is 1951500 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! ERROR: initial tuning failed dumping lists (0 services) Done. In the syslog I got this entry several times: Feb 21 17:06:15 dev kernel: _stb0899_read_reg: Reg=[0xf41b], data=ee Feb 21 17:06:15 dev kernel: stb0899_write_regs [0xf41b]: ee Feb 21 17:06:15 dev kernel: stb0899_search_carrier: Derot Freq=0, mclk=1510 Feb 21 17:06:15 dev kernel: _stb0899_read_reg: Reg=[0xf41b], data=ee Feb 21 17:06:15 dev kernel: stb0899_write_regs [0xf41b]: ee Feb 21 17:06:15 dev kernel: _stb0899_read_reg: Reg=[0xf43a], data=08 Feb 21 17:06:15 dev kernel: stb0899_check_carrier: --------------------> STB0899_DSTATUS=[0x08] Feb 21 17:06:15 dev kernel: stb0899_check_carrier: -------------> NOCARRIER ! So what can I do to make things work? What am I doing wrong since other people here report successfull working devices? I have several lines of this in the syslog: Feb 21 17:06:56 dev kernel: lnbp22_set_voltage: 2 (18V=1 13V=0) Is this OK or ist this an error (set_voltage 2)?? If 0=13V and 1=18V what is 2??
