Hi everyone, First post so please be gentle :-) [Resending to this list as linux-dvb is deprecated apparently and I wasn't a member of linux-media. Apologies if this gets to you multiple times.] I was wondering if anyone can help me please - I am trying to get a DVB-S PCI card working with Linux (Ubuntu 9.04). So far I can get the card recognised by Linux, but it won't tune - Kaffeine does tell me that there is 95% signal and 80% SNR, and I am using the same frequencies etc that a standard Sky box uses. The card is very common on eBay so I am sure there are plenty people who have tried this / would want this working. Some details that I hope will help someone who knows more than I do about this! The card is one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DVB-S-Satellite-TV-Tuner-Video-Capture-PCI-Card-Remote_W0QQitemZ130314645048QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW?hash=item1e575bae38&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1690|293:1|294:50 lspci: 03:09.0 Ethernet controller: Device 195d:1105 (rev 10) My dmesg output - looks ok?: $ dmesg | grep DVB [ 12.174738] DVB: registering new adapter (dm1105) [ 12.839501] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (ST STV0299 DVB-S)...

This is the correct satellite for my location (south UK), I believe. Have tried plenty. Nothing locks. I'm using the latest liplianin drivers - did a mercurial checkout and build today: $ modinfo dm1105 filename: /lib/modules/2.6.28-13-server/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dm1105/dm1105.ko license: GPL description: SDMC DM1105 DVB driver author: Igor M.

Finally, dvbtune appears to say I have signal but cannot lock: $ sudo dvbtune -f 1177800 -s 27500 -p v -m -tone 1 -vvvvvvvvvvv [sudo] password for shaun: Using DVB card "ST STV0299 DVB-S" tuning DVB-S to L-Band:0, Pol:V Srate=27500000, 22kHz=on polling....

Getting frontend event FE_STATUS: FE_HAS_SIGNAL FE_HAS_CARRIER So I am thinking that this could be a driver issue? If the card has good signal and SNR in Kaffeine, and dvbtune says it has signal and carrier - but cannot lock? Please can someone help me debug this? Thanks a lot!
