Testing the setup
Cable TV
Tested with Ziggo Cable Television (Location Leiden) as input which uses this frequenties. As FM Antenna I used a Old S-Video Cable.
$ sudo apt-get install tvtime scantv $ sudo tvtime-scanner $ sudo scantv -C /dev/vbi0 -n PAL -f europe-west -o results.ini $ head -20 results.txt rvdzwet@sky:~$ head -15 results.ini [global] freqtab = europe-west [defaults] input = Television norm = PAL [Nederland 1] channel = 22 [Nederland 2] channel = 25 [Nederland 3] channel = 26
FM Radio (The Netherlands)
My antenna is not very good so I had to allow low-quality radio signals (-t 30)
$ sudo apt-get install fmtools $ sudo fmscan -t 30 Scanning range: 87.9 - 107.9 MHz (0.2 MHz increments)... 88.9: 56.3% 89.3: 62.5% 91.3: 50.0% 93.7: 87.5% 94.3: 50.0% 94.7: 50.0% 95.1: 56.3% 98.9: 62.5% 100.1: 50.0% 100.7: 50.0% 102.7: 56.3% 104.7: 50.0% 105.3: 50.0% 105.7: 62.5% 106.5: 50.0% 106.7: 50.0% 107.3: 50.0%
Experiences
Both tvtime and XavTV shows me perfect/clear moving images. To setup sound I had to enable a pulseaudio loopback device as instructed at ubuntuforums.org.
The tuner on the radio seems a bit slow takes like 2 seconds to get to the right channel.
$ fm -T forever 102.7
Misc
Q: if feasible "eeprom" output (from bttv tools)
A: I am not sure how-to retrieve this information. The bttv tools does not seems to apply to this chipset. But just [info@rickvanderzwet.nl let me know] and I be happy to retrieve it.
