Yes, that I have understood. But from the threads on the MythTV lists
below, it seems at least one user has one or more 290e sticks running
fine in DVB-T (or T2) mode. Although that was on Ubuntu IIRC.
w_scan works? At least for me.
It was some time since I actually ran it. I'll have to try again
tomorrow as the backend is currently recording, and MythTV seems to
tie up the device even though it is not connected with any input in
mythtvsetup...
2012-05-13 17:25:32.385665 E FE_GET_INFO ioctl failed
(/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0)
eno: No such device (19)
I looked frontend code and I do not see where that error is coming.
Maybe there is no such file at all?
The file is there, as seen in the ls output I posted. And dvb-fe-tool
complains when mythbackend is running:
The system also has a Hauppauhe PVR350 and a Hauppage Nova-T 500, in
case that's relevant. The Nova works fine, although the reception is
poor (70%) which is why I got the 290e for DVB-C. :)
BTW, I see firmware being loaded for the Hauppauge devices. Is the
same needed for the PCTV 290e?
No firmware needed for that device. All used chips are firmware "free".
DVB-C is not officially supported by that device but it seems to work
rather well. Biggest problem is hard coded LNA but I think I am going to
resolve LNA and GPIO issues later this summer when enhancing DVB-CORE
frontend issues. My plan is to add internal API, GPIO callbacks for the
demod and tuner in order to allow use of LNA etc. And of course some
param to API which sets LNA AUTO/ON/OFF, maybe numeric value for gain also?
