TveiiS470 and DVBWorld2005 not working

TveiiS470 and DVBWorld2005 not working

[Guillem Solà]

Hi,

I come to this list as my last resort. I have two DVB-S PCIE cards and 
no one can get channels, but I have another computer with a PCI SAA7146 
that can get 1400 services from same dish.

* Tveii S470 *

One is the Tveii S470. I guess that the S470 should work because you are 
working in IR support.

I have tried V4L tip, drivers from website, from website and patched 
like in wiki says... but all I get is:

scandvb -a 0 /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E

scanning /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 12551500 V 22000000 5
 >>> tune to: 12551:v:0:22000
WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011
WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0000
WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0010it's going on

dumping lists (0 services)

Done.


* DVBWorld 2005 *

The other is the DVBWorld DVB-S2 2005. I have tried also latest V4l, 
liplianin branch... and I get the same: 0 services.


The hardware were I'm trying to run this is a Dell 1 unit Rack Server 
with RHEL with kernels 2.6.30, 2.6.31 and 2.6.32 patched by myself.

As I said I have another computer with a PCI dvb-s card that can get lot 
of channels so I thing that the disk is working well.


Any idea about what's going on?

Thanks in advance,

Guillem Solà

Hi Guillem,
I think you are missing firmwares, though you give too little information.

Sorry for the noise,

The sooner I wrote the email, the sooner my TeviiS470 started to work!

I did it work with the latest s2-liplianin tip, of course firmwares were 
in /lib/firmware dir.

Now I'm doing some compatibility tests. As I said I can get a few less 
channels than with the saa7164 that I'm using in old computers.

My aim is to certify it for the company I work for, so if there is 
something I could do testing it to help the community, I could do it 
during my work journey.

regards,

Guillem

Hi,

I have been testing my TeviiS470 against the saa7164 and basically what 
I get is that the signal and s/n ratio is lower tuning from the same 
dish with TeviiS470.

For example tuning the same channel on each one and comparing the femon 
output:

On saa7164 AragonTv from Astra works well

FE: ST STV0299 DVB-S (SAT)
status 1f | signal e600 | snr edba | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e4c0 | snr ed84 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e73e | snr ed5a | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e607 | snr ed0c | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e608 | snr ee02 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e607 | snr edf3 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK

On TeviiS470 the same channel have some problems :

FE: Montage Technology DS3000/TS2020 (SAT)
status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 51e0 | ber 00000000 | unc 00001010 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 51e0 | ber 00003f67 | unc 00005669 |

FE_HAS_LOCK

status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 51e0 | ber 00003ebb | unc 000056cb | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 51e0 | ber 00004057 | unc 00005507 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK

FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 51e0 | ber 00003fe9 | unc 000056be | 
FE_HAS_LOCK



Here femon output of a channel that works better than the last one

FE: Montage Technology DS3000/TS2020 (SAT)

status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 8f48 | ber 000003a3 | unc 00000000 |

FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal ec39 | snr e7d8 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal eaf4 | snr e7e4 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal eaf3 | snr e7b7 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK


Basically that's what happens on all the channels I tried, the signal 
strength and s/n ratio is lower with TeviiS470 than with saa7164.

Guillem
