[vdr] AW: Re: AW: Re: DVB-c channel tuning/locking does not work 100% since VDR 1.1.19



Jaakko,

There are no frequencies which finally do lock EVERY time! 
There seem to be NO offset also. The Problem just appears when tuning to
another frequency/transponder. In Germany just QAM64 is used but you are
right QAM128 is harder to tune.
It seems that my DVB-c needs a little longer to tune a channel and the
driver does not like this.
I will go on testing also an report @ dvb-linux ml.

Thx for your help

  David,

  What kind of pattern is there on the frequencies that finally do lock?
Can you see any consistent freq offset?  Are there some channels/QAM
values that consistently lock easily and some that do not?  I guess
QAM_128 channels are harder to tune, am I right?

  I am right now trying to read the AFC register in ves1820, and for
QAM64
channels it stays pretty much constant at 0.02 MHz or something if I
tune
it carefully to a frequency that gives the smallest AFC.  QAM128
channels
fluctuate between -0.5 MHz and +0.7 MHz.  There is a lot to do with
QAM128!

  Hmph.  Opening and closing the device too often also makes the machine
hang every now and then.  How frustrating.  I'll continue testing this
in
a couple of weeks and discuss the results in the linux-dvb mailing list,
which is maybe more appropriate place for driver problems.
