[mythtvnz] HVR-2200 unable to tune

Sat Mar 2 01:19:10 GMT 2013

Hi All,

Have run into a strange problem yesterday. I've had this card for a long
time but have not recently used it (Was out of the system). Back then
(6mths ago) it was working fine but had signal dropouts due to a bad
antenna.

Fixed up the antenna a couple of weeks ago and having rocksolid signal on
other cards (HVR4400) so decided to bring out the HVR2200 again.

Plugged it in, and was unable to get the tuning going at all. Strange as it
worked previously in the exact same system/install before. Just had the
regular online updates (opensuse 12.1).

I've checked the logs, and initially it looked like
the dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw did not get loaded. Strange but easily fixed.

Now all looks good, the logs look good, but just get no signal. I've tried
the card in a different system using windows, same antenna+cables and works
fine.

I'm at a loss atm. especially as the system used to work fine with this
card. I've posted the logs below.. maybe someone has seen a similar
problem? I've searched the net/mythlist but no luck..

I have double checked/downloaded the firmware files and they were all up to
date and the same.  I'm only intrested in DVB-T so have not bothered
getting the analog fw to load etc. DVB should work fine without those afaik.

I tried tuning with "scan" and using MythTV.

- For the purpose of "Fresh" start, and easy to identify log entries first
I removed the modules. (eventhough they all loaded fine)
rmmod saa7164
rmmod tda18271

- reload modules
modprobe tda18271
modprobe saa7164

-investigate logs
