[email protected]Hello,
I'm watching this list for quite a while now, looking forward to see my Avermedia AVerTV DVB-S Hybrid+FM supported. This card looks very similar to the Avermedia AVerTV DVB-S Pro [A700], so I tried the two existing patches. Finally, Matthias Schwarzott's (zzam) patch "
a700_full_20080204" did it.
Quoted 9 lines
DVB-S is working very well using Kaffeine 0.8.5, input via S-Video or Composite worked, since I bought the card, and is still working.
Is it possible, to add the cards ID (1461:a7a2) to the list?
Thanks for all the work you did! Ich ziehe meinen Hut!
Best regards,
Peter Meszmer
Hi,
¿Have you been able to make the DVB-S part work, so? I've been
trying these days using ZZam's patch only (Tino's one also mentioned in the wiki doesn't apply for now), and I was completely unable to get a lock on any frequency.
I thought it was because the driver was incomplete (without Tino's patch...), but if it works for you then I'll probably need to check my antenna, satellite, etc...
My card is the DVB-S Pro simple (not hybrid), but I don't think this makes any difference.
Best regards,
Eduard Huguet

Hello,
yes, DVB-S is working. I'm sitting here in Germany, using Astra 19.2E and Hotbird 13.0E. Scanning is possible with Kaffeine and scan (dvbscan on my Gentoo-box from media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-apps). So you should check your equipment. :)
Als far as I know, you can either use Tino's or ZZam's patch.
Best regards,
Peter Meszmer

Hi Eduard, Peter!
@Eduard:
Can you please compare the dmesg output (especially the eeprom dump) of your card to the one listed on the wiki-page.
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia_AVerTV_DVB-S_Pro_(A700)
@Peter:
1. Maybe you want to start a page in the wiki dedicated to your card. Or should we check for similarity and merge both of these cards into one page?
At least I am interested in the eeprom content of your card.
I should request some schematics from Avermedia to maybe get gpio controlling correct. (Like resetting chips, ir ...)

Hi, Matthias
Both lspci and dmesg EEPROM dump are exactly the same as the wiki.
Anyway, let's go with some feedback:
I've been trying the card with your patch. Apparently the adaptor
nodes are created (I solved yet the ordering issue), but I've been unable to find any channel by using neither dvbscan nor Kaffeine. In dvbscan I get these errors:
eduard@mediacenter ~ $ dvbscan -a 2 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E
scanning /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E

Done.
In Kaffeine I can also see (during scan) that the signal level is aproximately at 14% and SNR at 51-52%, but it doesn't find any channel. Theoretically I'm getting the DVB-S signal through my main house antennae cable (I double checked this with the installer), as the dishes are on the top of the building and pointed to Astra 19.2, but I don't know if maybe it's giving me a signal too slow for the card. ¿Do you know if there is any amplifier in the card that needs activation (Nova-T 500 does)?
Best regards, and thank you again for your hard work.
Eduard

Writing a page in the wiki sounds interesting, but I think, I shouldn't start this project. So I would prefer to merge the information of both cards.

I added this to the wiki-page about A700:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia_AVerTV_DVB-S_Pro_(A700)
Maybe we should rename the page to AverMedia_AverTV_DVB-S_A700 or anything similar.
* Could you load saa7134 module of unpatched driver, but with parameter i2c_scan=1.
* lspci -vvnn also should be interesting
* If you have a camera, could you do a picture, so we can get info about the used analog tuner. I guess it is some XC30??. But to get it running you should contact video4linux mailinglist.
