7220: which module?

[quby]

Hi all!

I just bought this card and I wanna use it with tvheadend in a mint/ubuntu server (same issue).My lspci output is:

Code: Select All Code

quby-mint# lspci -v
02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Device 7220:0001
        Physical Slot: 0
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
        Memory at feb00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Capabilities: [40] MSI: Enable- Count=1/32 Maskable- 64bit+

        Capabilities: [80] Vendor Specific Information: Len=50 <?>
        Capabilities: [100] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0000 Rev=0 Len=088 <?>

I downloaded the latest driver package from here:http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v151105.zip , and I followed the instructions from here http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TBS6284. I used the ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh script at the begining. The compileing and install ran withut error, but the end I don't know which is the correct module for my card, and none of them worked what I tried. Itried with a saa716x_core, but I get an error:

Code: Select All Code

quby-mint linux-tbs-drivers # modprobe -v saa716x_core
insmod /lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/kernel/drivers/media/common/saa716x/saa716x_core.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'saa716x_core': Invalid argument


So please help, which is the correct module for me?

[quby]

Ok!

If I use both tbs-x86_64.sh and tbs-dvbc-x86_64.sh script at the begining, then compiled correctly and after reboot the saa716x_core module load correctly, but the card still doesn't work. If I want to make a scan with w_scan I get an error message (no available cable tuner present, or something like that). Reboot again, then the scan run correctly, but nothing find. Reboot again, then error message again. If the module loaded correctly I see the /dev/dvb/adapter0 device, and the tvheadend see the card as TBS62x1 but no channels found

What if I trying on windows?

I tried DVBviewer, TBSviewer, and DVBdream. The TBSviewer not work at all, the best was DVBviewer, so Itried that.
The situation on win is much better cause I saw a working Tvbroadcast, but it's very random.
I scan the 135500kHz SR:6000 b:256 (here is 2 channel in my country 1HD and 1SD) nothing found. Scan again, nothing found. Scan again, 2 channels found yeeeah. Great!!!! Let see the channels....Nothing. Try again: It works like a charm! Switch off the computer, and retry 30 minutes later. Doesn't work again. scan again, nothing found. Scan again, 2 channels found! And so on....
So scan, and the founded channels sometimes works, then disappear, then works again, absolute randomly.

Solution? Or mabye an idea for solution. I'm out of ideas....I'm sad....

Hi Quby

Please send your dmesg log file to our support#tbsdtv.com we will have a check
and what about your w_scan parameters.

Thanks

Kind regards
