Probelms to tune pci dvb-s card

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello All,

I spent the last 4 days reading mailing lists and testing stuff in my
Mythbuntu installation.
I have a x86 machine running the latest Mythbuntu version, attached a
DM1105 PCI DVB-S card.

I read other trails from people having different kind of problems to
tune or lock a freq on this card... I am having similar problems, I
try to tune to well known and tested frequesncies and S Rates, with
out luck

This is what I get tuninmg to a tested freq, there is an unencrypted
channel on this tp:
***************************************************************************************
master@Main:~/DVB$ dvbtune -f 12092000 -s 28888 -p H
Using DVB card "ST STV0299 DVB-S"
tuning DVB-S to L-Band:0, Pol:H Srate=28888000, 22kHz=off

***************************************************************************************

In a different terminal, I ran dvbsnoop to check parameters, and here
what I get:
***************************************************************************************
master@Main:~/DVB$ dvbsnoop -s feinfo
dvbsnoop V1.4.50 -- http://dvbsnoop.sourceforge.net/

*********************************************************************


Looks like the frequency parameter set by dvbtune are not taken by the card.

I also tested with szap, with well known freq,SR, VPID, etc, with the
same result, nothing appears in /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

Any ideas about what to test is highly appreacited....
