[linux-dvb] Tune DVB card with new drivers...

[Ivan Linnik <hostmaster@ntlab-soc.com>]

Hello, linux-dvb!

    I have Sat-DVB rev. _1.5_ card and want to configure it to use
    PlaneSky service.
    I have downloaded Linux DVB driver release 1.0.0-pre2 and compile
    it (kernel 2.4.20). I followed instractions from INSTALL.

    After 'make insmod', I have next:
    
1. /var/log/messages

Mar 21 15:44:16 gw kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00
Mar 21 15:44:17 gw kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (Siemens/Technotrend/Hauppauge PCI rev1.3).
Mar 21 15:44:17 gw kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0a.0
Mar 21 15:44:18 gw kernel: stv0299.c: setup for tuner BSRU6, TDQB-S00x
Mar 21 15:44:18 gw kernel: DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (STV0299/TSA5059/SL1935 based)...
Mar 21 15:44:20 gw kernel: DVB: AV7111(0) - firm f0240009, rtsl b0250018, vid 71010068, app 80002610
Mar 21 15:44:20 gw kernel: DVB: AV7111(0) - firmware supports CI link layer interface

(as you saw driver found rev 1.3, not 1.5. Is it OK?).

4. I have created ~/.szap/channels.conf file. I don't really know
values of "vpid", "apid" and "?" so I set my values to one from
examples.

[root@gw szap]# cat ~/.szap/channels.conf
PlanetSky:11124:v:0:18386:0:0:1:515

After executing szap I have next picture:

[root@gw szap]# ./szap PlanetSky
zapping to 'PlanetSky':
sat 0, frequency = 11124 MHz V, symbolrate 18386000, vpid = 0x0000, apid = 0x0000
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
status 1f | signal de92 | snr b27d | ber 0000cb3c | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e37d | snr c7bf | ber 00000200 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e37c | snr c63f | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

Is it OK? Does it means that signal locked?

Quatation from INSTALL:
"Now you're ready to watch out for some real applications for your card.
Search the net for dvbtune, dvbstream, VDR, Enigma, Neutrino, tuxzap,
mplayer (incl. the DVB plugin), dvbsnoop..."

I have used already dvbtune tool, but now it is impossible to
compile it, because it use:

// DVB includes:
#include <ost/osd.h>
#include <ost/dmx.h>
#include <ost/sec.h>
#include <ost/frontend.h>
#include <ost/video.h>
#include <ost/audio.h>
#include <ost/net.h>

which are not in the new driver tree.

Can you give me suggestions how to tune card now?
