So I inserted the line into linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h by hand
#define USB_PID_PCTV_452E 0x021f

ok. this might happen if the file has been changed in repository since i have diff'ed.

Quoted 6 lines

I type make and all compiles with only a few warnings but now without any error.

When I install the modules and load them I get the following output from dmesg:

Hmm. i wonder why this happens: the stb0899 did not attach properly:
could you please load the stb0899 without verbose= parameter.
it will print more info what's going on.

Hi!

Well perhaps it is a hardware error in my device??
Loading the module without "verbose" parameter prints the following in the syslog:

Because of this line I think there is an error in the hardware:

Jan 30 19:37:22 dev kernel: stb0899_get_dev_id: Demodulator Core 

ID=[<B7><FF><FE>^E], Version=[-1207960059]

Also the light is always showing green (even if it is not connected with a pc).
I will test the device under windows this evening to see wheter it is working or not.

Quoted 5 lines

OK, I really think its a hardware problem. In Windows I get a bluescreen when I start the TV-Application (on 3 different PCs, so I think it must be something wrong with the hardware).
I will try again when I get a new device from pinnacle support.

Hi!

Finally I got a new device from pinnacle support today. I plugged it into the computer and the modules loaded fine (without an error). But now I have another problem. I scaned for channels and this works fine. After that I tried to tune. First try was "ProSieben HD" (Astra 19,2° E). I got a lock on this channel.
After this tuning (it works one time) I could never scan any more or tune to a channel.

This is the syslog from scanning for channels:

(these are the last lines, if you need others, please mail me).

Is there something that I can do?? It works one time scanning and one time tuning, after that never more (even after some reboots and plugging power off the device).
I don't know if I am doing anything wrong, because one time it works...

thx,

Jens

Re: [linux-dvb] TT Connect S2-3600 (was: Pinnacle PCTV Sat HDTV Pro USB (PCTV452e) and DVB-S2)

Hi all,

Manus multiproto HG tree (jusst.de/hg/multiproto) and the attached patch make the pctv452e work with DVB-S2 and DVB-S :)

Hi all,
I took Dominiks patch and added support for the TT connect S2-3600.

The S2-3600 is tuning to DVB-S and DVB-S2 but I still got some image distortions. I'm quite sure I got the correct firmware for the S2-3600 but I only did some quick testing last night. The patch may still have some quirks... so use at your own risk.

If anyone should volunteer to try the attached patch, please make sure to apply the patch for the PCTV 452e first! The firmware for the S2-3600 can be found here:
http://ilpss8.dyndns.org/dvb-usb-tt-connect-s2-3600-01.fw

I will also have a PCTV 452e for testing at the end of the week. So I can test both USB boxes with the driver.

André

Hi all,
I took Dominiks patch and added support for the TT connect S2-3600.

The S2-3600 is tuning to DVB-S and DVB-S2 but I still got some image distortions. I'm quite sure I got the correct firmware for the S2-3600 but I only did some quick testing last night.

What do you use to play back ? is the distortions seen with dvb-s2/h.264 only ?

Regards,
Manu

I'm using vdr-1.5.12 with Reinhard Nissls h.264 patch and xine. Just for comparison... Tuning with the TT S2-3200 works for DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels. The picture quality great, no distortion at all.

I managed to get a Pinnacle 452e for testing. The Pinnacle 452e as well as the TT connect S2-3600 show image distortions on all channels. There is no difference between channels on a DVB-S or DVB-S2 transponders. BER and UNC seem to be zero, if the femon output can still be trusted for the multiproto drivers.

My patch for the TT connect S2-3600 is far from perfect. I will hopefully be able to post a new version this week.

I just saw, that you have committed some changes to the multiproto tree a few days ago. I will check out the repository tonight and see how things are now.

André
