Linux 播數碼電視廣播 (DMB-TH 香港制式) 雜記

2009-05-30(3)
  • Googled "0572:86d6" (the vendor ID and product ID of Mygica D286 stick).
    Found this site: http://kineticdesign.net.au/blog/?p=35
     
    • The administrator also had the "no signal problem".
      "After downloading the 2.6.28 kernel source and a quick rebuild I had the Magic Pro USB recognized by Mythtv.  But not signal aarggghhh!"
       
    • I begin to suspect the architecture of the DMB-TH USB stick is:

       
    • For Mygica D268 (cheaper), I don't think there is internal SDRAM. For ASUS U3100 (more expensive), the SDRAM exists (it is clearly stated on the back of the box).
       
    • One of the comment in the website says that:
      "Finally, I see on the linuxtv docs that many USB devices need firmware before they start working properly".
      I think the firmware is the firmware that is running on the "general purpose MCU".

      Also, in this link, the introduction on how to install LGS-8GL5, it also says that:

      看firmware file 檔名的地方

      May be there is a need to update the firmware.
       

    • I also downloaded the ASUS U3100 driver. May be it is the way to try first!

2009-05-30(2)

I have bought 3 DMB-TH USB dongles. Here are the details:
 
Brand  Model
Number
USB
Vendor Id : Product ID
AmazePC   DMB8GL 3344:2260
Mygica D286 0572:86d6
Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc.
ASUS U3100 0b05:1721
ASUSTek Computer, Inc.

Plug "Mygica D286" into a PC with Ubuntu 9.0.4 installed:
  • lsmod will see
    Module    Size  Used by
    mxl5005s 43908  1
    lgs8gl5  13188  1

    It seems that the driver is properly installed.
     
  • kmesg can see:

    [130645.048956] usb 1-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

  • followed the procedure in README below:
    tzap -r -c channels.conf  His

    Although FE_HAS_LOCK is seen in the tzap output:
     
    tuning to 602000000 Hz
    video pid 0x0083, audio pid 0x0085
    status 01 | signal 0200 | snr 0200 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |

    status 1b | signal 4300 | snr 4300 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

    calling
     
    cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0



  • there is nothing coming out! Nothing can be read!
     
  • Booted XP and successfully tuned in 13 chanels (2 in HD). The signal is strong. Nothing wrong with the hardware.

http://petinsuranceuks.co.uk Obviously, this is a niche that has outstanding growth potential, considering pet insurance costs are nominal and the long-term savings can be substantial. Total up a year's worth of vet expenses so you can compare this amount to the cost of the dog insurance.
