I'll post a request for testing soon.

I am looking forward to it.

Can you please try the drivers from here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pb/v4l-dvb/

In the best case they improve the situation for you. In the worst case (not wanted :) ) it will degrade.

Hi Patrick,

Could you give us a summary of what changes are included in you tree, what we should expect, what we should test for and report on?

Yeah, sorry, I'm not very professional:

booooo! ;o)


Let's list first the commits:

DiB8000: fix channel search parameter initialization
DiB0700: add support for STK807XP and STK807XPVR
DiB8000: added support for DiBcom ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb demodulator DiB8000
DiB0070: Indenting driver with indent -linux
DiB0070: Update to latest internal release

As you can see, there are a lot of new things, the most important for users of existing devices is the 'DiB0070: Update to latest internal release' . This change should improve reception conditions for devices based on the DiB0070-tuner (DiB7070P e.g) .

Fine.

Now, how do I measure this objectively so that I can give you meaningful results (before/after)?

My system is currntly working fine, using a hg clone from quite a few months ago, so if things are not directly visible...


We tried this driver with our reference boards and it works well, but sometimes DiBcom's customers are adding things, DiBcom is not really aware of. That's why there is a risk that it breaks supports for some cards.

Well, breakage is easier to notice!

I can test on the Nova-T 500.
