[linux-dvb] HVR-1600 multiple cards question

[linux-dvb] HVR-1600 multiple cards question

[Brandon Jenkins]

Greetings,

I currently have 3 HVR-1600 cards installed in my system. I am able to
get analog signal on all 3, but the ATSC scanning does not return any
data on the third card. I have swapped cables with a known working
card, but this does not resolve the issue.

2 of the cards are brand new, dmesg output seems to indicate no
issues. Does anyone know if there is an issue with 3 HD tuners? Is
there a method of trouble shooting I should follow?

Thanks in advance.

Brandon

Remove the two working cards and test the failing card, report back.

I don't know if it would help in this case, but it is generally a good idea 
to change PCI slots as well.

Change one variable at a time.  Either change PCI slots and retest or
remove two cards and retest.  Don't do both before retesting, as you
won't know which action "fixed" the problem, if the symptoms go away.

Appears to be a defective card. Removing all others didn't resolve,
nor did moving to another slot. Interestingly dmesg is normal compared
to the other cards.. I'll begin the RMA process with Hauppage,
hopefully I won't have to confirm it works in windows..

Scan command was: scan -A 1 -a 0
/usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/atsc/us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB

Thanks for the suggestions,

Brandon
