Anysee E30 Combo Plus failing to tune

Anysee E30 Combo Plus failing to tune

[Sami Haahtinen]

Hey,
I have a Anysee E30 Combo Plus and i'm having trouble getting it to
detect properly. According to various sources it should be supported,
but yet it fails for me. I've tried with the stock driver and the
backports one (one instructed in wiki) and neither work.

the device is as follows:

-------8<------
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1c73:861f AMT Anysee E30 USB 2.0 DVB-T Receiver
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               2.00
  bDeviceClass            0 (Defined at Interface level)
  bDeviceSubClass         0
  bDeviceProtocol         0
  bMaxPacketSize0        64
  idVendor           0x1c73 AMT
  idProduct          0x861f Anysee E30 USB 2.0 DVB-T Receiver
  bcdDevice            1.00
  iManufacturer           1
  iProduct                2
  iSerial                 0
  bNumConfigurations      1
-------8<------

Manufacturer has packaged it as Anysee E30 Combo Plus, which is listed
as supported. It could be that there have been changes in revision,
the device doesn't list it clearly anywhere and i've yet to take it
apart.

So far i've tried with both DVB-C and DVB-T. Out of the two, DVB-C
doesn't produce any errors, but fails to tune in to any known
frequency, even if the same device is able to tune in under windows.
As for DVB-T, i'm getting a bunch of nasty errors

these are the starting points, what info do you need to debug this? I
can also provide access to a host with this device installed if
required.

Ok, board revision is 1.4. Pictures of the board available here:

I think your device is newer model where is new DNOD44CDV086A tuner 
module and inside that module is TDA18212 silicon tuner which does not 
have working driver yet. If your device have antenna loop-through it 
does have this new tuner module.

Unfortunately I don't have this device model, I got older one :-(. But 
luckily enough I have got E7TC which is almost similar as E30 Combo. I 
have DVB-C and DVB-T picture out from E7TC, it is just up to few weeks I 
will get TDA18212 tuner driver ready.

Yup, it has a loop through. So it is most likely a newer model.

If you need one of these buggers for development use, I can arrange that..
