[linux-dvb] Fusion HDTV 7 Dual Express

[linux-dvb] Fusion HDTV 7 Dual Express

[Jonathan Johnson]

Hello linux-dvb members,

I know another person posted a message similar to mine, but offered no diagnostic info, so I am.

DViCO device d618 using driver cx23885
Conexant Device 8852 (rev 02)
Base OS: SuSE 11.0
kernel manually upgraded to 2.6.27
checked dmesg, and all firmware(s) load.

 I have a FusionHDTV Dual 7 tuner, and it gets no signal at all, and some times no channels appear
when I scan from with in mythtv, and sometimes some of the channels appear.

1. First I tried hooking a ATI 650 to Vista and got 100% strength all the time, so it wasn't the antenna.
2. I then hooked up the FusionHDTV card to Vista and it also reported 100% signal strength.
Therefore the card is not broken.
3. I have 2 ATI HDTV Wonder that have always worked perfectly, so signal strength is good.


When trying to record w/ MythTV I get
---------
This occurs a couple times.
DVBSM(/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0), Warning can not measuer S/N
The following occurs many times:
DVBChan(3:/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0) Error:  Tune(): Setting Frontend using tuning parameters failed.
"eno: Invalid argument (22)"
-----------

Spent 1/2 hour looking thru google results.
I decided despite how horrible luck I have with compiling certain things, I would give it a go anyway.
The kernel always compiles for me at least.  I went to linuxtv.org and followed the instructions.
I did the make and make install and got the invalid symbols mentioned on the website, and it said
reboot.  So I did, and I recompiled again, for the heck of it, and still have invalid symbols. Read the
INSTALL text file, and tried a bunch of options.    I tried make kernel-(something), and recompile the
kernel(completely), and reboot,and still no go.  I tried re-compiling v4l-dvb and still nothing.
I eventually tried "make all" and the compile failed with errors.  Could not get it to compile, and now
v4l-dvb was un-usable.

I then installed and did a full compile of kernel 2.6.27.1 (released last night), and at least everything
now works.

I would like to try the development version to see if that fixes things, but I am not skilled enough to
resolved the unresolved symbol problem.  insmod and modprobe failed with the same error.


Later,
Jonathan

I too am having 0 signal strength with a Fusion HDTV 7 Dual Express.  scan 
(from dvb-apps) does find channels, but my application won't work because 
it is seeing no signal.  I tried rebuilding the drivers from repository 
tip but it doesn't help.  The kernel I'm using is 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686. 
lspci -v shows:

Are you sure you have zero signal strength, or just really low signal
strength?  I am pretty sure on the s5h1411, the signal strength field
is populated with the the SNR, which could be construed as very low
signal strength if you were expecting a percentage scaled from 0 to
65535.

Have you run femon to confirm that the strength field really is zero?

Hi ~
Did you try to do

>modprobe s5h1411
>modprobe xc5000
>modprobe cx23885
everytime you reboot the computer.?!

On some demods, the strength and SNR indicators are only valid if you
have a lock.

But why don't I get a lock?  I was getting signals with my pcHDTV3000 so I 
know it isn't an antenna problem.

I just looked back at your dmesg output, and I am somewhat confused.
Do you have multiple cards installed in the host at the same time?
Isn't the Oren OR51132 the other card?  I would assume that you would
need to be looking at the output of the s5h1411 frontend with femon if
you're trying to capture on the Fusion HDTV 7 Dual Express.  Or
perhaps I am just missing something here.

Yes, I do, but * was pretty sure devices zero and one was the dual 
express.  This is what happens when I pass -a 1 or -a 2 into femon

Re: [linux-dvb] Fusion HDTV 7 Dual Express

Then that means you're getting good signal== 012c (Hex) equal to
300(Dec) then that means your snr value is 300/10 = 30 dB

Great, that's much more like it (you're getting an SNR of 29.5dB).  I
should look at doing a patch so that the signal and SNR are zero when
there is no lock so that users don't get confused by the garbage
output.

I just got one of these cards and I was noticing the snr values
(generally 300 or 295) as compared to those from my HD5500 (which
reports large numbers that have to be shifted and scaled). The card
works great but I was wondering: Does every driver report SNR in its
own unique way? Is there a standard way to interpret the numbers other
than reading the driver code? Just curious, not flaming...

Also, perhaps OT, the remote is detected:

input: i2c IR (FusionHDTV) as /devices/virtual/input/input6
ir-kbd-i2c: i2c IR (FusionHDTV) detected at i2c-3/3-006b/ir0 [cx23885[0]]

I noticed the other thread about keytables and was wondering if there
is any testing I could do that might be useful.
