Did anyone test the MIPS drivers from Sundtek for their DVB-C/T/analog MediaTV USB device?
I saw they are available now and someone here seems to be in contact with them??

Yeah I've spoken to them over on their forum but not had much luck yet with getting it to recognise my USB stick (a KWorld 350U - not the Sundtek one so might be their driver is only usable with their stick). If anyone does have their stick and can give their driver a try to let us know if it works/doesn't work for them that would be good ot know though - I'd be tempted to go for a DVB-T2 stick if they release one anytime soon.

Maybe there's something extremely simple I'm not finding, but I'm not able to get the /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 device created.

The Nova-T USB Tuner is being recognised by the kernel on startup, but whenever I try to use tv_scan, I get a "segmentation fault" that I think it's related to the dev file not being created. I've checked that the dvb.sh and dvb.rules files are in the /etc/udev/rules.d folder and they have the right permissions (755), but no way.

Anybody?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone tried using the Hauppague HD-PVR, using the hdpvr driver out of v4l-dvb repository?

I've not got access to any kit at the moment; but I suspect that you do not have all the drivers loaded. Typically, there are more than 1 .ko file that needs to be loaded, using 'insmod'. The tuner/modulator may use 1 or more .ko file, and the generic dvb drivers(dvb-core.ko, i2c-core.ko, dvb-usb.ko) must be loaded. Check, using 'dmsg' that no errors were thrown when the 'insmod's were run.

@globbertooth - some of the the more complex cards are likely to be trickier to get running, but not necessarily impossible. Some of the v4l-dvb stuff has dependancies on framebuffers/ananlogue tuners etc. which are not relevent on the popcorn. Without access to the relevent hardware, it is impossible for me to know where the gotchas are.

I have just read the very interesting topic about the HDHomeRun client for PCH which enables live streaming and recording HD-TV from the hdhomerun device (network stream tuner, hope I'm not wrong) with its own interface and so on. I was wondering whether there's a way to contribute and improve that project to add support for usb dvb-t tuners, based on our previous work and tests.

Hi all. I like to ask you all on this thread for some help with this "improvement".

I have a dib0070 based tuner here and i like to try it on my C200. Here comes the problem:

-Is not a DVB Tuner. Is a ISDB-Tb Tuner (Brazilian terrestrial digital tv.) witch works with MPEG-4 H.264 for video and HE-AAC for audio streams. I can open with no problem any TS recorded from this tuner on my c200.
-I tried to compile the kernel with instructions on the first post and with the c200 kernel (2.6.22 I think) but a got a problem with mips compiler that is not recognized by make modules command.

Anyone here has successfully compiled the modules for dib0070 based tuners for c200 kernel? If so, can you post the ko files for the tuner?

BTW, I'm a linux newbie.
Thanks to all.

Hello,

First of all, thank you guys for this great job. I finally get my USB detected and all drivers working (I have to install a new firmware version) with the /dev/dvb device created.

But after reading this thread and using different frequencies and configurations and I coudn't get my channel list (Spain)

./tv_scan -s -c ./spanish_channels.xml

status 20 | signal 85% | snr 100% | ber 0 | unc 0 | (repeats on and on and on...)

Anyone could help me in finding channels?

Thank you.

I was 'working' this weekend and after read carefully this thread I get some new Ideas.

Using some configurations I get the transponders, but I cannot get the any channel at all. My channels.xml using tv_scan with appropiate frequencies is:

It 'tunres' ok to all frequencies, but when tries 680Mhz it hangs saying again and again...

status 20 | signal 85% | snr 100% | ber 0 | unc 0 | (repeats on and on and on...)

Can I avoid this frequency and let tv_scan finish the channel finding?
I also try the flag -v 1 to get some log, but I see no error in log file.

Thank you.

Nobody?
No one compile the 2.6.22 kernel modules?

Hi,

Argentina has adopted the same protocol, if you find something please post it here!

Hi.. I have just compiled the 2.6.22-19 DVB_USB / V4L stuff... But havnt tried it... If my wife aint giving birth tonight, I will try testing it and if it works, post some drivers..... and, if time permits, maybe add to CSI (I doubt I will get the time...)

Sounds very good. I just can't wait for this...LOL

Hi,
Thanks for the great work.

I have tried to follow your steps using A200 and a siano based DVB USB stick. I have hacked the original driver from 2.6.30 down to 2.6.19. The A200 uses kernel 2.6.22.19-27-4 so it is a little less work. I got to the point where all modules are loaded. I plug in the stick and get segmentation fault

This is the call stack I get:

[<84018910>] dma_alloc_coherent+0x6c/0x178
[<c02dd544>] smscore_register_device+0x118/0x40c [sms1xxx]
[<c0284a1c>] smsusb_probe+0x250/0x878 [smsusb]
[<842852a0>] usb_probe_interface+0x70/0xf4
....

Using printk I see that it tries to allocate 800k of coherent memory.

Do you have any idea why?
Thanks again.

Not much to go on ... this looks to be Siano specific.
drivers/media/dvb/siano/smsusb.c:358
drivers/media/dvb/siano/smscoreapi.c:365

800K = USB2_BUFFER_SIZExMAX_BUFFERS = 0x4000x50

- you could try reducing either/both of these; they are probably both very generous.
