Hi,
I am having a problem with the latest DVB drivers.
I have a Twinhan VisionPlus DVB-T card (and other DVB cards) in my
MythTv server running Fedora 8. This is running fine
with the Fedora stock kernel: 2.6.26.6-49.fc8.
However, I have now added a Hauppauge DVB-S2 and so have been
trying the latest DVB Mercurial DVB tree.
This compiles and installs fine and the two DVB-T cards and the
new DVB-S card are recognised and has /dev/dvb entries.
The first DVB-T card, a Twinhan based on the SAA7133/SAA7135
works fine but the Twinhan VisionPlus, which is Bt878 will not
tune in.
Any ideas ?
Has there been any recent changes to the Bt878 driver that could
have caused this ?
I have tracked this down to a bug in the bt8xx/dst frontend.
It appears that the front end tuning algorithm number as used in
dvb_frontend.c has changed format but the default setting in
bt8xx/dst has not been updated to match.
This patch sets the default algorithm to be software tuning as,
I believe, was the original setting. However, I wonder if
it should be set to use hardware tuning by default ...
Cheers
Terry
This is a better patch as it describes the integer values
that can be used as options.
