6903X Problem Tuning

[bardoc]

Hello, everybody!
I have a problem tuning TBS6903X in Linux.
If I first tune the card to a DVBS2 transponder, then it doesn't tune to DVBS until rebooting the computer.

I am using the latest drivers from:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media.git -b latest ./media

Hi sir
what is the application and search parameters you used?
Could you show me that?

Best regards

Hello 'smile', thnx for your reply!
That's the example of my code tuning the 6903X card by steps.
(https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build/t ... ra/tune-s2)

1) I try to tune the card to some DVB-S2 signal. Result - the signal is locked.
2) After that I try to tune the card to some DVB-S signal. Result - the signal is not locked even after 20 sec waiting.
3) I reboot the tbsecp3 driver (or restart the computer).
4) I try to tune the card to the same DVB-S signal as in step 2. Result - the card is immediately successfully tuned to the DVB-S signal.

Could you try the dvblast?
dvbs :dvblast -f 172700 -s 27999000 -v 13 -5 dvbs -a 0
dvbs2 : dvblast -f 1804000 -s 30000000 -v 13 -m psk_8 -5 dvbs2 -a 0

I think you missed one parameter in tune-s2 in order to quit.
