stb0899/stb6100 tuning problems
Hi,
Running kernel 2.6.39rc4. I've got trouble with tuning some transponders on Hotbird 13°E with a TT S2-3200.
The transponders have been emitting DVB-S until end of march when they now emit DVB-S2 signals. They are:
- 11681.00H 27500 3/4 8psk nid:319 tid:15900 on Hotbird 6
- 12692.00H 27500 3/4 8psk nid:319 tid:9900 on Hotbird 9
[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/244201/
[2] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09214.html
1) Patch [2] is merged into kernel 2.6.39rc4. Using scan-s2, I get no service available.
2) I applied patch [1] and still could not get any service with scan-s2 from those transponders.
3) I *reverted* patch[2] and now scan-s2 returns partial results. scan-s2 can tune onto the transponder on Hotbird 6 really quick and gives back the full services list.
But I have to run scan-s2 with scan iterations count set to as high as 100 to be able to get results from the transponder on Hotbird 9.
When those transponders were emitting in DVB-S, I had no problem at all.
Can someone try the same thing on those transponders and report please ?
Thx

As mentioned before, try to use [1] + [2] + following patch. I would expect this to be working. Please confirm.

Thx for your reply.
Applied [1] + [2] + your path.
Unfortunately, this does not work for me. scan-s2 can tune only on the 1st of those 3 transponders on HB13E
S1 12654000 H 27500000 3/4
S2 12692000 H 27500000 3/4 35 8PSK S2 11681000 H 27500000 3/4 35 8PSK
Please note that I can tune quick/fast on those 3 transponders with a ngene based card. szap will report a signal of 60% and snr of 70% for them. Problem is the CI support does not work for me.
I am wondering if there is a dvb-s2 card with ci support which flawlessly works on linux... ?
