Hi, I've been experimenting with my new PCTV 290e DVB-T2 device this weekend, and have a couple of observations. For example, the device sometimes has trouble initialising itself: usb 4-2: new high speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd em28xx: New device PCTV Systems PCTV 290e @ 480 Mbps (2013:024f, interface 0, class 0) em28xx #0: chip ID is em28174 em28xx #0: Identified as PCTV nanoStick T2 290e (card=78) Registered IR keymap rc-pinnacle-pctv-hd input: em28xx IR (em28xx #0) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb4/4-2/rc/rc1/input10 rc1: em28xx IR (em28xx #0) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb4/4-2/rc/rc1 em28xx #0: v4l2 driver version 0.1.2 em28xx #0: V4L2 video device registered as video1 INFO: task khubd:1100 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Successful attempts are so rare that I am now forced to assume that I was merely lucky. The following parameters *should* be enough, but clearly aren't in practice: T 554000000 8MHz 2/3 AUTO QAM256 AUTO AUTO AUTO Cheers, Chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
