[linux-dvb] HVR-1800 failing to detect any QAM256 channels

[Eric Cronin]

Hello,

I have an HP Pavilion OEM'd HVR-1800 that I'm giving a shot at getting  
working (PVR-500 and HDHR are my production analog/digital inputs).

I'm running Mythbuntu 8.04 and have tried both with the bundled  
version of v4l-dvb modules and a hg copy from April 29, and both have  
the same problem:

The card is detected fine and /dev/dvb/* created.  When I run 'scan us- 
Cable-Standard-center-frequencies-QAM256' it detects nothing, even on  
frequencies which I know are QAM256 from the HDHR which is 12" of coax  
away from the HVR-1800.  Here is an example from the HDHR scan:

SCANNING: 759000000 (us-cable:118, us-irc:118)
LOCK: qam256 (ss=90 snq=52 seq=100)
PROGRAM: 1: 6.1 WPVI-HD
PROGRAM: 2: 10.1 WCAU-DT
PROGRAM: 3: 6.2 WPVI-SD
PROGRAM: 4: 6.3 WPVI-WX
PROGRAM: 5: 10.2 WX-PLUS

and from 'scan -v test-chan118' which has just 759000000 in it:

Done.

I have checked the physical connections best I can.  Connecting the  
HVR-1800's coax to the PVR-500 sees the analog side of things fine,  
and the correct jack on the HVR-1800 is being used.

I'm not sure where to go from here debugging things, any suggestions  
or more data I can provide?  The modprobe-produced info from dmesg is  
at the end of this message.

Thanks,
Eric
