If there is a fault I will investigate. >Darron, looks you're the right person to ask: >How can I retrieve the REAL tuned parameters from the driver? >Looks like using FE_GET_PROPERTY returns cached properties that were issued >with FE_SET_PROPERTY before that. At present that's all there is. With the cx24116 it is actually possible to retrieve the actual FEC when requesting FEC_AUTO for DVB-S but it's not implemented. Such a feature though could be driver dependant in any case so probably unreliable. I have not looked. cya -- // / {:)==={ Darron Broad <darron@xxxxxxxx> \\ \ _______________________________________________ linux-dvb users mailing list For V4L/DVB development, please use instead linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
