Is there any issue with the latest opensource drivers?

i've updated but now diseqc is no longer working?

although it seems stuck on port 2 of my switchs? (i have 4 diseqc switches)

i used crazycat drivers and it went wrong, going back is now the same issue (could be a later tbs opensource commit that was merged into crazycat though)

--

original issue was i updated to crazycat but then my card would not scan, yet i could still tune onto the old transponders i'd scanned previously

investigating further - the diseqc works on first boot, and first tune - just like when wrong mode is selected.
using tbs opensource drivers i have the

create text file "/etc/modprobe.d/mxl5xx.conf" with line:
options mxl5xx mode=1

in there

Diseqc now fixed.

doing this from support -

Code: Select All Code
#wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/linux/media_build-0105.tar.bz2
# sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/
#tar jxvf media_build-0105.tar.bz2
#cd media_build
#./install.sh


but, i'm now getting the original issue i had - i can't scan channels in tvheadend, but i can watch all services i had previously scanned, any ideas?

think i figured out ..

the "Skip initial bytes:" in tvheadend was preventing scanning..

removing the numbers i had in there now makes it all work.. it seems
