[linux-dvb] DVB-S and vdr in South Africa, part II
Hi
Hopefully everybody has spending spending a chunk of quality time away
from their computers these last few days!
After a hint from Micael I am now using the "alternate" driver from
http://www.linuxdvb.tv/
(http://www.linuxdvb.tv/driver/driver-20020228.tgz) together with the
TT firmware linked to on that page. I can tune to FTA channels now,
but am still not getting anywhere with the encrypted channels. I am
basically working with two applications: dvbtune and vdr.
There are some aspects of the DVB drivers and of their interaction with
the firmware that I do not yet understand, if someone could point me in
the right direction here I would be most grateful.
1a) How does the driver (or the firmware) know that a channel needs to
be decrypted?
1b) vdr has a ca.conf file, with entries for Premiere and GOD. What
can/must I enter here to make it talk to the encryption system used by
DSTV in South Africa? Do I need to change the code of vdr to match?
1c) How do set up the CA using programs other than vdr?
2) I have the following channel definitions for a free to air channel:
- channels.conf file for vdr:
EuroNews:11674:v:0:26652:260:261:0:0:108
- DVBtune command:
dvbtune -f 1924000 -s 26652 -p v -a 261 -v 260 -tone 0
- szap channels.conf
EuroNews:1924000:v:0:26652:260:261
For some reason, the first two work, but I cannot tune to the FTA
channel with szap. Is there some parameter which the DVB drivers need
which szap does not pass?
3) I cannot get the "scan" application which is a part of the driver to
compile, as it seems that the frontend.h file that comes with the
driver does not have the necessary definitions in it. Specifically,
the structure definition:
struct diseqc_cmd {
struct dvb_diseqc_master_cmd cmd;
uint32_t wait;
};
Cannot compile as the structure definition for "dvb_diseqc_master_cmd"
does not seem to exist. Am I missing something?
Thank you for the patience with me.
Kind regards
Alexis
