Subject: scan/scan-s2 doesn't tune, but dvbtune does?
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:24:58 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B269F1A.30107@onid.orst.edu> (raw)

I can't get the scan/scan-s2 utilities to lock any transponders 
(DVB-S).  My test satellite is AMC1 103W, the Pentagon Channel tp. This 
is probably some simple user error on my part, but I can't figure it 
out.  I have a Corotor II with polarity changed via serial command to an 
external IRD.  C/Ku is switched by 22KHz tone, voltage is always 18V.  
Ku is with tone off, C with tone on.  Speaking of which, is there a way 
to manually set the tone from the arguments on the scan utilities?

Here's what I've tried and the results:

$ ./scan-s2 -a 0 -v -o zap -l 10750 INIT
API major 5, minor 0
scanning INIT
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

initial transponder DVB-S2 12100000 H 20000000 AUTO AUTO AUTO

...snip...

Same thing happens if I use just 'scan' and not 'scan-s2.'

If I use dvbtune, it works though..

$ dvbtune -f 1350000 -p H -s 20000 -c 0 -tone 0 -m

The tuning file 'INIT' contains only the following line:
S 12100000 H 20000000 AUTO

I'm using v4l-dvb drivers from the main repo as of about a week ago.  I 
am running kernel 2.6.32 on Debian testing.  Any help is appreciated 
..and hopefully it's just a simple flub on my part!
