[linux-dvb] dvbtune in australia

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@cloud.net.au>]

Hi all,

I'm just starting to set up a DPANDA (Technotrends) DVB-T card in
Australia. I've got tzap tuning and working (budget-ci & tda1004x
modules), but:

1. /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 never returns any data;

2. dvbtune isn't happy either.

~/.tzap# tzap 'Nine Digital'
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 191625000 Hz
status 00 | signal caca | snr c6c6 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal caca | snr fefe | ber 00000230 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal caca | snr 0000 | ber 00000232 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal caca | snr 0000 | ber 0000021e | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
[etc]

But:

~/.tzap# dvbtune -f 191625000
Using DVB card "Philips TDA10045H"
tuning DVB-T (in United Kingdom) to 191625000 Hz
polling....
Getting frontend event
FE_STATUS: FE_TIMEDOUT
Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency

Trying ABC TV Melbourne:

~/.tzap# tzap 'ABC TV Melbourne'
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 226500000 Hz
status 00 | signal cbcb | snr c4c4 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal cbcb | snr fefe | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal cbcb | snr fefe | ber 00000002 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal cccc | snr fefe | ber 00000004 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

~/.tzap# dvbtune -f 226500000
Using DVB card "Philips TDA10045H"
tuning DVB-T (in United Kingdom) to 226500000 Hz
polling....

FE_GET_EVENT: Value too large for defined data type

~/.tzap# dvbtune -f 226500000
Using DVB card "Philips TDA10045H"

~/.tzap# dvbtune -i
<transponder type="T" freq="0">
Nothing to read from fd_pat
Nothing to read from fd_sdt
</transponder>

~/.tzap# dvbtune --version
dvbtune 0.3+cvs20030922

(from the debian package).


Thanks,
