Re: [linux-dvb] Support for Compro VideoMate S350 - Testing Results

[O&M Ugarcina <mo.ucina@gmail.com>]

Hello Igor ,

I want to thank you for making those patches available . I have been 
able to patch the latest HG pull and to compile and install the drivers 
. I decided to install the whole lot as it was a bit hard to workout 
just the ko's responsible for the S350 . After installing the card I 
have this from dmesg :

I was able to tune into my favourite satellite with mythtv with no 
problems . I also was able to tune to another satellite using the mythtv 
configuration for 4 way diseqc . So 4 way diseqc works fine for me . 
Picture is satble and very good , sound also is ok . I will just run it 
now to see how the system stability is over a longer period of time .

One small issue I have noticed : and that is in mythtv the signal 
strength indicator shows very low with S350 now . Before I was getting 
with TT1500S around 79 to 89% while now with S350 I see about 18% for 
the same channel .

Best Regards
