DVB-S2 PCTV 460e (tda10071) usb issues - Raspberry Pi Forums

hi,


first post here unfortunately, it's in troubleshooting category !
anyway, i'm working on making rpi dvb-s server (not displaying).

managed buy :

- usb dvb-s2 dongle pinnacle/pctv (model 460e) has own power supply.
- belking powered usb 7 port

configuration :

- 1x rpi
- 1 port rpi connected usb hub
- usb dvb-s2 connected powered hub (and usb dongle has it's external power lnb too)

usb dongle isn't working when connect directly rpi (it's detected, drivers loaded, firmware loaded, can't signal ok).
however, work when connect dongle powered hub.

great... let's try install vdr + stream server or tvheadend on fresh raspbian image

unfortunately, i'm getting same results when streaming pc, using vlc or mplayer...

- scan ok
- signal ok
- picture has lot of artefacts & of time there no sound @ all.

firmware latest version (from today 2012-11-06), kernel too.

more verbose tvheadend, see log (on fta channel) :

can't try use dongle usb 1.1 trick dongle require usb 2.0 ...
also, previous firmware, experiencing lot of messages /var/log/messages eth0 issues... seems fixed latest fimware.

see sundtek on forum in order on similar issues, don't know if have devices using tda10071 chipset too.

i'm available testing firmware/kernel if can community.

else, if have suggestions... i'm open


regards !

our issues solved, had tricks here , there works well, including streaming (the driver includes streaming server can stream windows/linux , advanced users mac (mac should become easier within next few weeks)).

1 issue arises 460e ts stream limited 58mbit (chipset limitation), while our device goes beyond 90mbit (we learned our mistakes in past used same chipset previously).
