[linux-dvb] Multiproto DVBFE_GET_INFO and (not) locked

[linux-dvb] Multiproto DVBFE_GET_INFO and (not) locked

[Claudio Luck]

Hi Manu, hi all

I'm referring to the jusst.de/hg/multiproto tree. Working with a KNC1
DVB-S2 card to enhance the VideoLAN dvb plugin.

Testing showed that DVBFE_GET_INFO returns different frontend infos
(fec, mods) when the tuner is locked and when it is not (pasted below).

Is this the correct/expected behavior?


>From two separate runs, where the first leaves the tuner locked; first
run (femon says no lock at start):
