Hello,
This report describes a small bug in dib3000mc and dib7000m with DVB-T tuners.
The problem does not exist with dib7000p.
In both faulty drivers, when reading back the tuning info (ioctl FE_GET_FONTEND),
the returned value is incorrect for the bandwidth parameter. All other returned
values are correct.
With dib7000p, the returned value for bandwidth is correct.
Distro: Fedora 8
Kernel: 2.6.24.7-92.fc8
Linux DVB: hg update June 9 2008
DIB firmware: dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw
The source code for a test program is included at the end of this report.
It take two optional parameters: the frontend device name and a frequency.
The program tunes on the specified frequency, leaving all other tuning
parameters to "auto". After ensuring the signal is locked, the current
tuning parameters are read and displayed.
This program was tested on the following three devices:
1) Pinnacle 72e 1100 (DiBcom 7000PC)
2) Hauppauge Nova-T 500 (DiBcom 3000MC/P)
3) Hauppauge Nova-T Stick rev 70001 (DiBcom 7000MA/MB/PA/PB/MC)
In all cases, the returned values are the expected enumeration values,
according to the specified transport (french DTTV network), except
for the bandwidth:
1) BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ -> OK
2) BANDWIDTH_AUTO -> actual bandwidth not returned
3) 8000 -> integer value instead of enum BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ
Complete output and source code follow.
Regards,
-Thierry
