MyGica T230 - nearly there but continuity issues!

Added by oliver whittington over 9 years ago

Hi everyone im 4 days in to troubleshooting my MyGica T230 card.

My setup:

Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid + TVHeadend Stable 3.4
MyGica T230 DVB-T + DVB-T2 card
Openelec TVHeadend PVR front end

Firmware files tested:

1. wget https://github.com/OpenELEC/dvb-firmware/tree/master/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw -O /lib/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw

wget https://github.com/OpenELEC/dvb-firmware/tree/master/firmware/dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-01.fw -O /lib/firmware/dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-01.fw

2. same 2 files from: Openelec 5

3. http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/Si2168/Si2168-B40.

Im ready to give up quite frankly! I've tried Tvheadend 3.4 and 4.0.5 both on Ubuntu 15.04 and have the same issue with continuity errors on all above firmware. Some channels worse than others using DVB-T broadcasts (SD) but all glitch after around 2seconds.

Previously i ran the EyeTV on 3.4 and ubuntu 14.04 and it was solid, so i doubt it's my reception strength. All seems good there.

Can ANYONE confirm that they have had the Mygica T230 working in there setup??

And if so, can they confirm the following so i can try and recreate there success?

What version of Ubuntu?
What release of TVheadend
Where they got there firmware files from?

Theres a £5 paypal donation in it for anyone that can share there success with the T230!

If anyones got any ideas... I'm all ears!

Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS
Kernel 4.0.8-040008-generic
HTS Tvheadend 4.0.5

FW-files taken from OE 5.08 and placed into /lib/firmware on ubuntu.

As posted in the other topic, I tried both the fw from the GIT-hub and the ones from CrazyCat, and non of them worked. I copied mine directly from an installed OE 5.08 system.

Have you noticed this?

"Some problems with high bitrate DVB-C streams. Applies to certain DVB-C operators."

I also suffered from this issue, but after replacing with splitter -3db no more problem. Reason was a to high signal strength.

I'm considering buying this tv tuner, but 'problems with high-bitrate DVB-C streams" sounds like an issue to me. I don't see how a strong signal can actually be detrimental to the quality of the streams, but in any case, how do these problems manifest?
