Thanks for the reply. Looks like my problems are elsewhere. Here is the output when it does a scan.

Looks bad. Its an xbox tuner. No idea if I have the correct firmware but if all the other muxes are working I would assume so?

I ran the following to get my sat tuner detected and it also made my xbox tuner appear.

cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media.git -b latest ./media
cd media_build
uname -a
rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra

rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/media
rm -Rf /lib/modules/4.15.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/media
make dir DIR=../media
make remove
make clean
make dir DIR=../media
make allyesconfig
make -j4
make install
cd
reboot
dmesg | grep frontend
wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... .0.tar.bz2
tar jxvf tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2 -C /lib/firmware/

That was posted on the tbs forum.

I have a few xbox tuners not currently in use, I'll have to hook one up and see if I get the sane output, and report back.

If I don't reply in a few days bump this thread

I'm back, with some interesting results..

Yes there certainly does seem to be an issue with the Panasonic tuner/driver and COM 7 HD on 746mhz! Mine tunes OK but errors like crazy..

but.. and here's the kicker.. after roughly 20-30 seconds of errors, they suddenly stop and VLC shows a picture!

I'm only guessing here but I think the tuner is getting confused, especially seeing as other transmitters near have COM7 on 746 too. SFN issues maybe? Who knows!

• Horrible workaround, set a 247 hour recording so it's constantly tuned, saving the output to /dev/null
• Wait wait wait.. and wait for a picture LOL

It's a weird one, sorry I couldn't be of much help

Thanks for looking into it for me. Seems the xbox tuners are no good for freeview then.
Is this the kind of thing that can be fixed with firmware? I still have no idea if I have the correct firmware. Like I said the device appeared after I built firmware for another device.

I thought 700mhz was being cleared?

Chris
