Bug #1733
Scanning and channel detection not working with latest Linux Kernel 3.8.11
0%
Description
I'm running Tvheadend version 3.5.116~ga2ccbb2 compiled from git and running in ArchLinux (Kernel 3.8.11) with a DiBcom 8000 ISDB-T connected via USB.
From some kernel versions ago to now I can not scan and watch tv channels anymore using Tvheadend. Whenever I add multiplexes for channel detection I get:
Tvheadend:
[ ERROR] dvb: "/dev/dvb/adapter0" tuning to "569,142 kHz" -- Front configuration failed -- Invalid argument, frequency: 569142857
Syslog:
tvheadend[ 726]: dvb: "/dev/dvb/adapter0" tuning to "569,142 kHz" -- Front configuration failed -- Invalid argument, frequency: 569142857
server kernel: usb 2-7: dtv_property_cache_sync: doesn't know how to handle a DVBv3 call to delivery system 0
Scanning for channels with w_scan and watching the result in VLC works without problems.
To make it work again, I had to patch my kernel with the following patch:

The problem, if you've not already figured it out from the patch, is that TVH still uses v3 tuning for everything except DVB-S(2). And it looks like that driver had possibly been altered to basically deprecate v3 tuning.
The next version of TVH will hopefully be more v5 compliant.

I'm going to mark this fixed. Full v5 tuning is now in master.
