This patch would at least avoid having to modify dvb-usb-ids.h & af9035.c each time to test some git updates. * previously, in December, the signal level detection was fuzzy and not reliable. Now, the reported signal level is strictly at 0000 (good antenna RF signal confirmed with other device). I am aware A918R card is not the most requested one (Express card), but that's all I can add in case it can help, even for another card. Regards. see details below: ------------------------------------------ UPDATE April 8th 2013: result with modules compiled from git: tzap -r TEST using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' reading channels from file '/home/test_r/.tzap/channels.conf' tuning to 586167000 Hz video pid 0x0200, audio pid 0x028a status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | kaffeine from command line kaffeine(1584) DvbScanFilter::timerEvent: timeout while reading section; type = 0 pid = 0 kaffeine(1584) DvbScanFilter::timerEvent: timeout while reading section; type = 2 pid = 17 demux_wavpack: (open_wv_file:127) open_wv_file: non-seekable inputs aren't supported yet. net_buf_ctrl: dvbspeed mode kaffeine(1584) DvbScanFilter::timerEvent: timeout while reading section; type = 0 pid = 0 kaffeine(1584) DvbScanFilter::timerEvent: timeout while reading section; type = 2 pid = 17 net_buf_ctrl: dvbspeed OFF kaffeine(2186) DvbLinuxDevice::getSignal: ioctl FE_READ_SIGNAL_STRENGTH failed for frontend "/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0" kaffeine(2186) DvbLinuxDevice::getSnr: ioctl FE_READ_SNR failed for frontend "/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0" kaffeine(2186) DvbLinuxDevice::isTuned: ioctl FE_READ_STATUS failed for frontend "/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0" .../... kaffeine(2186) DvbLinuxDevice::getSignal: ioctl FE_READ_SIGNAL_STRENGTH failed for frontend "/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0" kaffeine(2186) DvbLinuxDevice::getSnr: ioctl FE_READ_SNR failed for frontend "/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0" kaffeine(2186) DvbLinuxDevice::isTuned: ioctl FE_READ_STATUS failed for frontend "/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0" demux_wavpack: (open_wv_file:127) open_wv_file: non-seekable inputs aren't supported yet. net_buf_ctrl: dvbspeed mode net_buf_ctrl: dvbspeed OFF kaffeine(2215) DvbDevice::frontendEvent: tuning failed ------------------------------------------
