Re: [linux-dvb] About Avermedia DVB-S Hybrid+FM A700

[bvidinli]

i can confirm that:
1- i tried free-to-air, non-encrypted channels, still no sound (i
mean, som meaningless/strange sounds is heard), and no (meaningless,
mixed) video, this seems like, a codec problem, or i may mis placed
some *.ko files... i am not sure, if you know, you may suggest which
files to place where...

2- i also tested freetoair, non-encrypted radio chnnels, but no result.

i cannot confirm that:
i dont know if i have a mpeg-2 decoder..  how may i check, and what do
i need to install ?

agai may i ask:
1- is make install problem solved  for ubuntu ? it does not work out of box...

2- is there a schedule for other inputs of fm a700 card ?

Note:
i worked for this card to work so much because, i plan to produce a
set-top-box in my region, and i will produce many of them once i get
success... any help is welcome... we may also make a business
agreement with whoever wants, regarding linux/video subjects...

thanks..
Bahattin,

Strange. I'm afraid I can't help you regarding where to install the modules
in Ubuntu, as I use Gentoo, but I know (by other threads in this list) that
this question is somewhat problematic due to the special way Ubuntu handles
kernel modules.

Regarding the audio / video problems: could you please be a little more
specific about what you are getting? I mean, ¿are you definitely getting any
audio or video results (even if erroneous) coming from the card?

Re: [linux-dvb] About Avermedia DVB-S Hybrid+FM A700

[Peter Meszmer]

Hello,

to my mind your card _should_ work. 
I'm using a DVB-S Hybrid+FM A700 card with zzam's driver since version 
20080204 without any problems on vanilla kernels 2.6.* and Gentoo-patched 
kernels. So I'm able to watch freeTV and listen to DVB-S-radio (Astra). 

Did you ever thought of building your own, fresh vanilla-kernel from the 
sources?

Regards
Peter

thanks, this is the only valid rule here :)

bvidinli, you can't file bugs against us from ubuntix.

This was only in case somebody may help, and for your information,

As you know, Ubuntu is the most used distribution these days....
i think you should care about it...
Thanks anyway, information provided was usefull.
i will retry soon about my card..

Re: [linux-dvb] About Avermedia DVB-S Hybrid+FM A700

[Peter Meszmer]

Hallo,

my tip was really meant as tip. I knew the problems which occur 
from "non-standard"-directories from my first SuSE-experiences.
If you want to build your own vanilla-kernel and need help, please drop me a 
note.

May I ask, which hardware are you using? If I'm copying lots of files, I'm 
loosing the picture too...

Regards
Peter
