Hi, I'm using a TBS8921 on a dish pointing system (no TV watching, just measuring level and snr).
The board is installed on a mini-ITX x86 board running linux debian 6.0 (squeeze), 2.6.32-5 kernel.
I have compiled and installed the linux-tbs-drivers from tbs-linux-drivers_v120424.zip.
Although I don't need the signal locked, it seems that when there is no lock the snr measurement is unstable, and the problem is that it looks like when the board loses the lock it does not reacquire it unless I reinitialize it.
For example, if after getting a lock I move the antenna away from the sat, lock is lost. Then moving back to the correct pointing does not reestablish the lock, but stopping/starting the measurement (for example, szap-s2) makes the lock come back.
I attached a sample log using szap-s2 (comments marked with @@).
Is there anything (for example, resetting the front end whenever lock is lost?) I can do to avoid this problem?
Thanks!
