6981 card never be able to lock any channel
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2011 10:17 am
Hi, I am running Ubuntu 10.10, 64 bit, and I compiled the kernel for the 6981 card, and I got following message from dmesg
sudo dmesg | grep cx23885

So I guess this means it is working, and I can see the front card showing in my /dev/dvb/ folder for two adapter0 and 1.
But I can never use it, I did this to lock the channel and got following error with 28.2E

Done.
The cable and satellite has been fully tested with known working set top box.
I also tried with Kaffeine to see if it can scan the channel. Same result, it always display no input error.
Any ideas?
