Re: TBS5520SE LOCK LED and 5 Volt RF IN (OSS driver)

The LED is so bright that it is annoying. Yep. I thought the blue LED was a bit too bright, but the green LED is just unbearable. I used a piece of semi-transparrent tape to make it dimmer. Good idea :-)! It would be great to get the 5V out of the RF IN if DVB-T(2) is in use. I do not know whether ...

Re: TBS5520SE LOCK LED and 5 Volt RF IN (OSS driver)

Thank you. I've already got it in and it works. Offtopic The LED is so bright that it is annoying. Especially if tvheadend leaves it at a mux where it can tune and lock while not using any input/source of the tuner. A properly formatted patch: diff --git a/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/si2183.c b/driv...

Re: TBS5520SE LOCK LED and 5 Volt RF IN (OSS driver)

Yep. Looks like the open source driver can manage the green lock led with firmware command.

Re: Diseqc issue

Hi Ericed1965, maybe there is really a signal issue. How do you power your tbs5520se? You could also try to use the dvb-apps / dvb-utils instead of a fancier frontend like tvheadend to test things out. I managed to get a multytenne with 4 lnb and diseqc working, but I need to change the ~10m cables ...

Re: Linux driver issue

Hi lwis, great to hear that drivers and tvheadend are working now. Well, you already found the tbs5520se usb driver in menuconfig. This driver depends on further drivers for frontend (si2183, demod) and tuners (av201x for dvbs, si2157 for dvbc/t). You can see that in your trace (modules linked in) o...

Re: Linux driver issue

Hello, I had the same problem. The key point is that you should try to alter as less as possible to the (kernel) configuration! The command "make allyesconfig" is such a command that does not respect this. Even if it only rely on media sub tree, which contain dvb_usb etc. I think (and hope...

Re: si2183 5-0067: read_status failed=-11

Hi, I can confirm that issue. It is reproducible by switching from dvb-c to dvb-t2 which is okay but switching back from dvb-t2 to dvb-c produces the mentioned error. Done via tvheadend, no dvb-apps nor dvb-tools. I stopped tvheadend for about 10 minutes. after that and starting tvheadend again the ...
