View Full Version : Unexpected DVB-T problem...

Hi,

I'm having problems with a new built of Mythbuntu where I cannot get either of my two DVB-T cards to load.

Background:

The cards in question are:
DVICO Fusion DVB-T Plus
Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 771

As far as I know both of them use the same module under linux, and in the past both have identified themselves as DVICO cards (even the Avermedia).

I have been using these cards successfully for some time just using 'out of the box' driver support in the latest kernels - so my current problem has me
scratching my head to say the least.

For info I run a combined backend/frontend.

Until yesterday I was running on a fully Ubuntu install, initially Fiesty, then Gutsy. The install was getting a little old and I wanted to try Mythbuntu,
so I did a clean install of Mythbuntu 7.10 from the livecd. Everything went well and I had two functioning DVB cards, correctly configured in Mythtv-setup
and working perfectly in the Frontend.

Unfortunately, I couldn't leave well enough alone and stipped the computer down for some annual component dusting. At this point my motherboard decided not
to play anymore and promptly stopped recognising the CPU.

So today I found someone selling basically the exact same motherboard secondhand with a faster CPU so I quickly snapped it up and threw it all together
tonight.

The only difference in hardware from my old system (which worked fine) is:

Motherboard changed from DFI Lanparty UT SLI-DR to DFI Lanparty UT Ultra-D
The only difference between these two boards is the Ultra-D doesn't have Raid (so 4 less sata connectors) and doesn't support SLI (which I didn't use before
anyway). I also changed the CPU from an AMD64 3200+ to AMD64 3800+.

In practice, the motherboard is identical and the cards all went back in the same slots I used to use them in before.

So long story short(er), when I performed a clean install on Mythbuntu 7.10 tonight, it appeared to all go well - until I tried to add the capture cards in
mythtv-setup. They aren't there (unable to open card) as they normally would be at this point and there is nothing under /dev/dvb/. Damn.

For fault finding I took the Avermedia card out and left the Dvico in.

A check of lspci reveals the card is seen at least:

When I peruse kern.log I find a few interesting lines but I'm not smart enough to make sense of all this (hence why I'm posting here). It's leading me to think it's an irq related problem or something along those lines. I've been through my bios looking for any obvious culprits, and I've tried to match the settings as close as I remember the other motherboard being (which is now dead so I can't check). In any case, usless stuff like FDD controller, Serial ports, IR etc are all disabled.

I'd really love some help here, I KNOW these cars work under current builds of Ubuntu, and in fact were working under Mythbuntu 7.10 only 24hrs ago.

Much obliged...

I ran into a thing on the live CD where my Nova-T wasn't properly recognised (no /dev/dvb/*); are you posting this from the live CD environment or from an installed system?

Also, do you have the Avermedia 771 card plugged in as well? I'd like to see the lspci entry for that, as I used to use one too and I don't recall "unclassified device" being a good sign...

stdPikachu, thanks for the reply, I'm posting from an installed system.

I just dropped my Avermedia 771 in and with both cards in a get an extra error on boot....

[ 23.507318] PCI: Error while updating region 0000:01:07.1/0 (fdf00008 != f9f00008)

From lspci you can see it's the Avermedia card:

I was obviously wrong about the Aver identifying as a Dvico, although it definately does in Mythtv-setup... that is when it works, which it isn't at the moment.

Here is a little more of kern.log, including the Avermedia card and some of the error lines that make me think it's irq related or something like that:

It doesn't look good but I really can't understand why considering how long and how well these cards have worked in the past.

Thanks again for trying to help out...

The capabilities "access denied" is a bit worrisome too, did you run lspci under sudo?

From the one time I had the error (ye olde b0rken mobo with a crummy VIA chipset), PCI region errors were generally the result of an IRQ conflict - can you post the complete output of `sudo lspci -vv` for our perusual?

Sorry lspci wasn't run undo sudo originally which would explain the 'access denied' message (I learn something everyday!), but here is a complete 'sudo lspci -vv'...

Unless you're running the latest nVidia chipset, I have no idea why you'd have so many "unknown device" lines in your lspci output which says to me something is awry with hardware somewhere. IIRC the CK804 is the nForce4 range, I've got two of those myself and they don't give me unknown anything. What's the motherboard/chipset?

You might also want to try `sudo lshw`, a slightly more verbose but less techy version of lspci. Not sure if it's installed by default.

Yes you're absolutely right, it is an NForce 4 chipset motherboard, and a few years old so it really shouldn't be a problem. It hasn't been in the past either... perhaps a rebuild is in order???

Here is the output of sudo lshw (which is installed by default btw):

There are a few clues that suggest there is something wrong with your cards OR you haven't seated them correctly in the PCI slots.

I compared your device dsecriptions from lspci and friends with that of my system which has a Leadtek DTV2000H digital TV card which appears to use chips from the same family of one of your cards.

Here's part of the lshw -businfo output

pci@0000:00:05.0 multimedia CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decod
pci@0000:00:05.1 multimedia CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decod
pci@0000:00:05.2 multimedia CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decod


Each PCI device has a "configuration area" which contains codes for the type of device (e.g. multimedia, network, bridge display etc). I would expect your CX23880 devices to be "multimedia" rather than "generic" or "Non-VGA unclassified".

I don't know what the following means, but there is only one bit different between thw two values.

[ 23.507318] PCI: Error while updating region 0000:01:07.1/0 (fdf00008 != f9f00008)


The resource conflict message suggests the BIOS has apparently assigned non-distinct address ranges to different PCI devices. This shouldn't happen but could if the base address of the assignments to two different devices differed by a single bit and that bit was read unreliably.

I don't know if your dusting resulted in some damage to your cards OR the PCB fingers picked up some "foreign" material that prevents the slot fingers making effective contact with the card.

I suggest you take the cadrs out, give the PCB fingers that go into the slot close visiual inspection for foreign material then put the cards back, taking special care that the card is fully inserted into the slot. You can apply a fair bit of pressure which is sometimes needed I have found the end of the card furtherest from the motherboard edge sometimes sits up a bit from the motherboard connector and doesn't make good contact.

You should be able to plug the cards in any avaialble slot. It would be worth trying one card at a time in all the available slots until you find a slot that works. its possible (especially if the slots have been used recently) that some foreign material may have fallen into one or more slots preventing the cards from making good contact with the slot connector.

G'day ozybushwalker,

Thanks for the extra info mate, I'll check for crap in the pci slots, but the board was pretty clean, and I doubt I damaged the tuner cards during the rebuild - I'm actually fairly fastidious when it comes to computer care. I've only ever destroyed one card in 15 years of playing with PCs and that was due to a insidous slow seep in a water cooled computer I had :). To be honest I don't know why the orig motherboard stopped playing the game... still need to investigate.

I have a third tuner card, another DVICO that I can try... that will rule out damage as it has sat dormant for a year so it should still be in fine condition. I suspect there is something set in the bios of this new (replacement) motherboard that is different enough to the old (now dead) motherboard that it is stopping the PCI tuner cards from working - despite the fact two mobos are practically identical.

I could just go for the reinstall and hope for the best, but I'm sure there is a more elegant solution (bios or software) and I'd like to try and find it first.

I really appreciate all the help you guys are trying to give... many thanks - keep it coming.

Well after a weeks of fault finding every single component on the motherboard, and even trying another motherboard from my main machine (a DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert) which functioned correctly... I finally found the problem.

The replacement motherboard has faulty PCI slots. Worse still, the guy that sold me the motherboard knew of the problem (I checked his back posts and he was complaining of the same thing over a year ago) and sold it to me anyway. Given he lives 20 minutes from my house, we're are going to be having serious words.

On a positive note, I now have a (3rd) working motherboard in place and Mythbuntu is up and running just fine.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help... at the very least I learnt a bunch of new things, so thanks guys.
