[linux-dvb] Re: Hauppauge Nova-T: problems tuning

Hi,

I've got a Hauppauge Nova-T, and I'm having trouble getting any
tuning application to achieve anything sensible. I'm using the linuxtv
drivers (rather than the Metzler ones), v1.0.0-pre2, with a
2.4.21-pre5-ac2 kernel. My experiences so far:

hrm@vlad:src $ /sbin/lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
dvb-ttpci 295312 0 (unused)
videodev 5856 0 [dvb-ttpci]
grundig_29504-401 3560 1
dvb-core 38980 3 [dvb-ttpci grundig_29504-401]
[snip...]

hrm@vlad:scan $ ./scan using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
add some of the transponders you can receive without any problems to initial.h in the ofdm section, then it should work...

Please send a patch when you get it working.


   I'm in Southampton, which should be the Hannington transmitter.
From [1], I tried dvbtune:

hrm@vlad:src $ dvbtune -c 0 -f 706167 -i
FD 6: fd_dvr DEMUX DEVICE: : No such file or directory
try the tzap test program in directory DVB/apps/szap/ before you start to scan, this is a bit more verbose. You'll have to create a channel list before, it's sufficient to enter one or two of the transponders you can receive under Windows w/o problems.


   No luck here either. It works (approximately) in WinXP: I'm missing
some of the multiplexes (I can't get ITV, C4 or C5 yet -- need a
better aerial I suspect). However, I am getting a strong enough signal
that I can pick up at least the two multiplexes carrying BBC1 and Sky
News, so signal isn't a problem for testing purposes.
Adjust your antenna a bit better or get another one with a little more gain, then you can maybe receive all transponders.
