Hello

I have a Anysee E30 Combo Plus USB device. It's capable of both DVB-C and
DVB-T. I currently use the device with ubuntu 9.04 64bit with mythtv. I have
problem with selction of mode for the device

The following way i can get DVB-T
1. Power up computer with E30 Combo Plus connected.
2. run dmesg
<dmesg shows>
...

...
</dmesg shows>
3. rmod dvb_usb_anysee
4. modprobe dvb_usb_anysee delsys=0
5. run dmesg -> stil dvb-t :(


The following way i can get DVB-C. But its kind of anoying to remove the
device during every boot.
1. Power up computer with E30 Combo Plus disconnected.
2. Wait until everything has loaded and gdm is seen on the monitor
3. Connect the E30 Combo Plus.
4. Device is detected as a DVB-C device
5. dmesg
<dmesg shows>

[   64.634715] usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_anysee

</dmesg shows>

Anyone experienced this problem? It would be nice to run DVB-C without
having to disconnect and connect hardware.

You are not alone.
Looks like it is GPIO related problem. I don't have currently that device...
It is a little bit hard to fix without knowing exactly how GPIO pins are 
connected in each device. There is too many different hardware revisions 
with different GPIOs, fix one break the other.

 From the anysee.c code you can find following entry:

	/* Try to attach demodulator in following order:
	      model      demod     hw  firmware
	   1. E30        MT352     02  0.2.1
	   2. E30        ZL10353   02  0.2.1
	   3. E30 Combo  ZL10353   0f  0.1.2    DVB-T/C combo
	   4. E30 Plus   ZL10353   06  0.1.0
	   5. E30C Plus  TDA10023  0a  0.1.0    rev 0.2
	      E30C Plus  TDA10023  0f  0.1.2    rev 0.4
	      E30 Combo  TDA10023  0f  0.1.2    DVB-T/C combo
	*/

Hello Benjamin

Thanx for the reply. Good to know that I'm not alone with the issue :-).

The idee to simply remove the dvb-t part from the code was something i have
thought of. However if you do that you need to build a custom kernel every
time a security update is released. This can be a real pain :)

However I came up with the following simple solution to the problem. I just
prevent the modules from being loaded. Just edit
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add the following at the end of it.

If you want dvb-c add this
blacklist zl10353

if you want dvb-t add this
blacklist tda10023

And then reboot the computer. Almost to simple :)
