Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-media-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 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-S 12100000 H 20000000 AUTO AUTO AUTO initial transponder DVB-S2 12100000 H 20000000 AUTO AUTO AUTO ----------------------------------> Using DVB-S >>> tune to: 12100:h:0:20000 DVB-S IF freq is 1350000 >>> tuning status == 0x03 >>> tuning status == 0x01 >>> tuning status == 0x03 >>> tuning status == 0x01 >>> tuning status == 0x03 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x01 >>> tuning status == 0x03 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 12100:h:0:20000 (tuning failed) DVB-S IF freq is 1350000 >>> tuning status == 0x03 >>> tuning status == 0x01 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 ...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 Using DVB card "Conexant CX24116/CX24118" tuning DVB-S to L-Band:0, Pol:H Srate=20000000, 22kHz=off polling....
