[linux-dvb] Re: Transport errors on Twinhan DST tuners (both DVB-S and DVB-T)

Hi,
		Have you tried the windows based stuff ? Make a comparison between the 
windows based stuff and the linux version.


		I got a reply from the company stating that in most of the cases it could be 
a software problem.

		When i pointed out that it could be problem with the frontend, they also 
seemed not to rule out the possibility of the same. What they say is that "we 
do not do anything much in the ASIC, we hab=ve some initialization stuff and 
we just get the stuff from here and pass it there ..... ". They also said 
they will take a look into the ASIC code. I can't ask them to open up the 
ASIC code though.
					With their closed binary only driver, they were complaining about 
hardware piracy, pressure from myself and jamie led them to open up their 
code.

		Transport errors once in a while could be considered common in a satellite 
link ? I'm not talking about large losses here.

		Patrick had a patch, that looked good, he tried to solve the issue, but the 
only problem was that patch was causing buffer overflows for me and a couple 
of other people. There could be some other way the same idea could be 
implemented.

		Please do let me know about your comparison. 

Regards,
Manu
