[linux-dvb] Cannot switch polarization: Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2

[linux-dvb] Cannot switch polarization: Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2

[Andreas Bergstrøm]

Greetings,

We have just bought a Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2, and having followed http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000 
, I have gotten the card to work, well, half of the time.

It is unable to tune any channel with a vertical polarization, while  
horisontal works like a charm.

Could this problem be related to this card and this problem http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-February/008471.html 
  ? There is approximately 10 to 25 metres of cable between the card  
and the LNB. (Which is a 8-way LNB, which tunes vertically fine, as  
far as I can determine.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Someone started screwing with the isl1621 (?) driver after support for 
this product was released (probably to fix another vendors board), it 
broke Hauppauge support.

Thanks for your help. Having checked voltage, I was stumped to why it  
was not working, and it turns out that one of the recievers in our 8- 
way LNB no longer tunes to the horisontal polarization. (Its been  
tuning to the same vertical polarized channel for the last 2.5 years,  
so I guess something broke.) I tested with another cable, and it was  
able to scan both vertical and horizontally polarized channels.
