[PATCH v2] V4L/DVB: faster DVB-S lock for mantis cards using stb0899 demod

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

 



hi list

This is a modified version of my previous patch [1] to improve the tuning algo 
of stb0899 cards using the mantis bridge.

With the kind help of Bjørn Mork I was able to keep it minimally invasive with 
the same effect.

Over the last month many testers in vdr-portal.de [2] reported positive 
results using the patch.

This should run fine with all sort of cards using the stb0899 demodulator.
