I'm also trying to get one of these working.
Similar symptoms, card seems to be recognised but unable to lock.
I'm using an existing DVB-S setup with myth using the loopthru from
the working card and same LNB settings.

I've tried recent v4l-dvb and s2-liplianin drivers.
When attempting to tune the system becomes unresponsive with the
driver taking over the cpu:

Re: [linux-dvb] Help Request: DM1105 STV0299 DVB-S PCI - Unable to tune

[Shaun Murdoch]

Hi,

Thanks for the help so far. I did a hg clone of the latest v4l-dvb
repository, built, installed, rebooted a few times, and did the
modprobe below, but unfortunately I still can't lock:

Here's the scan output:

$ sudo ../scan -vvvvvvv test
scanning test
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
>>> tune to: 11220:h:0:27500 (tuning failed)

Interestingly, since changing the drivers, the STV0299 is mapping
against a weird frontend:
[   12.633254] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 28036848 (ST
STV0299 DVB-S)...

Could this be a problem?

Thanks,
Shaun

I have a few dm1105 based cards, but yours looks different from mine.

Please try recent v4l-dvb, as I've commited some change.
Now You can try
	modprobe dm1105 card=1

[Shaun Murdoch]

Hi Igor,

I've taken some photos of the tuner so that hopefully you'll be able
to help work out why it won't tune in Linux.

Please see the following link for the images:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/7690303@N04/sets/72157621703527801/

The only chip on display is:
SDMC
DM1105N
D735  E280034

Also - I tested the card in a Windows box today, so I am now certain
that both the card and the satellite connection are OK. The settings
that work with Windows (frequency, etc), don't lock in Linux. (I do
get a good signal reading in Kaffeine that is the same as Windows
gives, but no lock.)

I hope this will help you work out what is wrong.

Thanks!
Shaun

Re: [linux-dvb] Help Request: DM1105 STV0299 DVB-S PCI - Unable to tune

[Shaun Murdoch]

Thanks Simon - did you need to do anything special to get them to
work, or did they work out of the box with the latest s2-liplianin /
v4l-dvb drivers?

I've not tried another card (don't have one), but I did try a set-top
box which works fine - and let me get the frequency/lnb/etc info.

i have a few and they work fine
in my small little way i helped to get them to work
in fact i tried to import a bulk shipment from china - but they offered 
the same price for 200 as i can get on ebay - so i didn't bother

are you sure the signal is good? have you tried with another card to check?

Hi Igor,

Thanks - I will take the card out and get some pics.

Hi Shaun,
Did you read something on tuner can?
Or maybe you take a picture of tuner can without cover.
Also close look picture of card would be nice.
Though definately demod is stv0299, but tuner chip may be different.
I suspect it is stb6000, but such combination(stb6000 + stv0299) not supported in the driver now.
Anyway, you can try modprobe dm1105 with parameter card=1 from s2-liplianin tree.

Igor

Re: [linux-dvb] Help Request: DM1105 STV0299 DVB-S PCI - Unable to tune

[Shaun Murdoch]

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think there's something a bit weird with dvbtune. According to it's
man page the units for frequency (-f) are Hz. I am trying to tell it
11.778 GHz - but you get errors if you do -f 11778000000. Equally you
also get errors if you assume it is MHz, i.e. -f 11778.   Anyway, if
it prints FE_HAS_SIGNAL and FE_HAS_CARRIER that must mean the
frequency I gave it is OK?

In any case, scan doesn't work, nor does Kaffeine, so I don't think
it's that my use of dvbtune is wrong.

Anyone got any other suggestions on what I can do to get this to lock?

Thanks,
Shaun

Re: [linux-dvb] Help Request: DM1105 STV0299 DVB-S PCI - Unable to tune

[Seyyed Mohammad mohammadzadeh]

Hello,

I don't know what is the exact cause of your problem but I think you
are tuning to a wrong frequency. You wrote:

 dvbtune -f 1177800 -s 27500 -p v -m

in which the frequency parameters has two extra zeros which cause the
frequency to interpret as : 1,177,800 MHz !!!!!!!

[linux-dvb] Help Request: DM1105 STV0299 DVB-S PCI - Unable to tune

[Shaun Murdoch]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3881 bytes --]

Hi everyone,
First post so please be gentle :-)

I was wondering if anyone can help me please - I am trying to get a DVB-S
PCI card working with Linux (Ubuntu 9.04). So far I can get the card
recognised by Linux, but it won't tune - Kaffeine does tell me that there is
95% signal and 80% SNR, and I am using the same frequencies etc that a
standard Sky box uses.

The card is very common on eBay so I am sure there are plenty people who
have tried this / would want this working.

Some details that I hope will help someone who knows more than I do about
this!

The card is one of these:

lspci:
03:09.0 Ethernet controller: Device 195d:1105 (rev 10)

My dmesg output - looks ok?:

$ dmesg | grep DVB

My output from scan -* the problem*:

*This is the correct satellite for my location (south UK), I believe. Have
tried plenty. Nothing locks.*

I'm using the latest liplianin drivers - did a mercurial checkout and build
today:

$ modinfo dm1105
filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.28-13-server/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dm1105/dm1105.ko

Have also tried the latest v4l-dvb drivers and get exactly the same tuning
problems.

Finally, dvbtune appears to say I have signal but cannot lock:

$ sudo dvbtune -f 1177800 -s 27500 -p v -m -tone 1 -vvvvvvvvvvv
[sudo] password for shaun:

FE_STATUS: *FE_HAS_SIGNAL FE_HAS_CARRIER* FE_HAS_VITERBI

FE_STATUS: FE_HAS_SIGNAL FE_HAS_CARRIER


So I am thinking that this could be a driver issue? If the card has good
signal and SNR in Kaffeine, and dvbtune says it has signal and carrier - but
cannot lock?

Please can someone help me debug this?

Thanks a lot!
Shaun
