AW: How to make a cannellist for the cable version of the Siemens card?

[Carsten Roessner <carsten.roessner@web.de>]

Hallo Ralph,

thank you very much!

Unfortunately I only see the OSD during stest.

One problem was, that "stest > TEST" produces a file with "wrong" lines at
the beginning (no problem):

Opened /dev/video0  fd=3
Opened /dev/vbi0  fd=4
Found: xxx
Found: xxx
Found: xxx
Found: xxx

LNB ID 1 TYPE 2

    TRANSPONDER ID 14 SATID 1 TYPE 2 FREQ 0 QAM 2 SRATE 6900000 FEC 8
      CHANNEL ID 0 TPID 14 NAME "xxx" TYPE 0 PNR 3c VPID 5ff PCRPID 5ff
      CHANNEL ID 1 TPID 14 NAME "xxx" TYPE 0 PNR 32 VPID 4ff PCRPID 4ff
      CHANNEL ID 2 TPID 14 NAME "xxx" TYPE 0 PNR 28 VPID 3ff PCRPID 3ff
      CHANNEL ID 3 TPID 14 NAME "xxx" TYPE 0 PNR 1e VPID 2ff PCRPID 2ff
      CHANNEL ID 4 TPID 14 NAME "xxx" TYPE 0 PNR 14 VPID 1ff PCRPID 1ff


I removed them but the FREQ flag was only 0. I corrected this to 418000000
but the output of "ptest 2" for instance produces nothing than the following
lines on the console:

Opened /dev/video0 fd=3
Opened /dev/vbi0 fd=4

The TV where I saw the OSD before remained black. I had to do "ctrl-C", to
get a console again.

By the way, any further call of "stest > TEST" produces at leased a file
with a correct FREQ flag.

What is to do?

When do you thing will the cable capable gVideo be released?

gVideo does not support cable yet.
A new version with better channel selection, editing, search, CI
support etc. and also cable support is being worked on.

You can use cable with the stest and ptest test programs in
DVB/libdvb. Edit stest to use cable, or better here is the complete
stest.cc for a cable channel search:


#include <iostream.h>
#include "DVB.hh"

main()
{

  DVB dvbd("/dev/video0", "/dev/vbi0");

  dvbd.AddLNB(1, FRONT_DVBC, 0, 0, 0, -1, NOID, NOID);
  dvbd.AddSat(1, 1, "TK-Cable", 322000000, 454000000);

  dvbd.scan();

  cout << dvbd;

  dvbd.osd.Close(1);

}


and start it like this "stest > TEST".

Then start "ptest" and type in hex numbers followed by return and it
should tune to the channel with that id.
Below is an example output of a scan where channel IDs between 0 and
50 would be valid.
