Subject: [PATCH] media: cx231xx: fix si2157 inversion for Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-935C
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:19:17 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709211918.958471-1-dkerasiotis@gmail.com> (raw)
On the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-935C (USB ID 2040:b151) the si2157 tuner
is configured with inversion = true. On at least some hardware
revisions (tested: Hauppauge model 111519, rev G2I6) this is wrong:
tuner and demod probe successfully, firmware loads (si2157 patch
3.0.5, si2168 B 4.0.25), signal strength is reported correctly and
the Si2168 briefly reports FE_HAS_SIGNAL | FE_HAS_CARRIER, but it
never achieves lock on any DVB-T mux, on any frequency, regardless
of signal quality (tested down to -48 dBm, C/N 38 dB). The same
unit works under the vendor's Windows driver.
Setting inversion = false results in immediate lock (FE_HAS_LOCK,
postBER 0) and a successful scan of all eight DVB-T muxes receivable
in Attica, Greece. This matches the configuration already used for
the Evromedia Full Hybrid Full HD, which uses the same
cx231xx + si2168 + si2157 chip combination.
Tested on kernels 6.1 and 6.12 with identical results.
