Problem with TeVii S-470

Problem with TeVii S-470

[Mike Mironov]

Hello!

I have this card http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TeVii_S470

I try to use it under Debian Squeeze, but I can't get channel data from it.

I try to use drivers from 2.6.38, 2.6.39 kernels, s2-liplianin drivers 
with 2.6.32 kernel, last linux-media drivers with 2.6.32

With all drivers I can scan channels, but then a I'll try to lock 
channel I get some error in syslog (module cx23885 loaded with debug=1)

cx23885[0]/0: [f373ec80/27] cx23885_buf_queue - append to active
cx23885[0]/0: [f373ebc0/28] wakeup reg=477 buf=477
cx23885[0]/0: queue is not empty - append to active

and finally a lot of

cx23885[0]/0: [f42c4240/6] timeout - dma=0x03c5c000
cx23885[0]/0: [f42c4180/7] timeout - dma=0x3322b000
cx23885[0]/0: [f4374440/8] timeout - dma=0x33048000
cx23885[0]/0: [f4374140/9] timeout - dma=0x03d68000

In other machine this work under Windows. Under Linux I have same effects.

It's problem in drivers or in card? That addition information need to 
resolve this problem?

Hello Mike, I have same device on same OS, try this:
mkdir /usr/local/src/dvbcd /usr/local/src/dvbwget
http://tevii.com/100315_Beta_linux_tevii_ds3000.rarunrar x
100315_Beta_linux_tevii_ds3000.rarcp dvb-fe-ds3000.fw
/lib/firmware/tar xjvf linux-tevii-ds3000.tar.bz2cd

I'll try use this drivers today, but for this devices drivers exist in 
kernel from 2.6.33. So it must work with in-kernel drivers.

P.S. Firmware from this archive I put in /lib/firmware before all tests.
$ md5sum /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-ds3000.fw

Hello again, actually, I am using this method for Tevii S660 and S470:

apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
mkdir /usr/local/src/dvb
cd /usr/local/src/dvb
wget http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin/archive/tip.zip
unzip tip.zip
cd s2-liplianin-0b7d3cc65161
make CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV:=n
make install

Both methods works for me on a Debian Squeeze (2.6.32). Here more
info: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TeVii_S470

Regards.

As your can see in quoted text I always try to use this drivers. Result 
is same. I'll always read WiKi link. I know that another users use this 
card without problems. I have good signal quality (88% signal and 79-80% 
snr). But in my 2 linux systems I can't get channel data. Scan work 
fine(!).
