[linux-dvb] Re: [linux-dvb]ASTON CAM

[Antonino Sergi <voyaser@tiscalinet.it>]

Even if I don't get "ASTON" from init, with the official driver/firmware
and vdr, I get this when switching to an encripted channel:
Jul 28 14:12:50 desktop kernel: dvb0: AV7111 - firm f0240009, rtsl
b0250018, vid 71010068, app 00012503
Jul 28 14:12:52 desktop kernel: dvb: 1 dvb(s) found!
.......
Jul 28 14:14:17 desktop vdr[29946]: switching to channel 9
Jul 28 14:14:29 desktop kernel: dvb0: 0e 05 00 00 00 00
Jul 28 14:14:29 desktop kernel: dvb0: 0c 00 0c 08 2e 00 5e c5 00 00 ff
ff 2e 08 8f 84 00 00 00 90 00 00 00 00 2e 08 90 14 2e 00 de 33   . ^    
.           .   .  3

Since it is quite similar to what you get, I guess that the last part
would contain ASTON instead of ". ^     .           .   .  3", but it
doesn't, so I think that the problem is in the firmware (CAM and ARM
seem to talk in a different way)

In this case, could anybody update this firmware? The 'original' one,
that works under win, crashes.

Thank you
