[mythtv] Problems with Hauppauge Nova TD Dual Tuner USB Stick and Mythtv, no problems in Windows!

[Edward Peckham]

Another data point. I've been fighting my Nova TD ever since I upgraded to 
Ubuntu 12.10 with MythTV 0.25.2. Well actually I've been fighting my TD ever 
since I bought it, but before 12.10 I felt like I was winning.

My memory fades, but I think the magic fix in the past was setting the 
bandwidth to auto.  With 12.10/0.25 my MythTV log was full of auto bandwidth 
not being a valid setting, so I changed to using 8MHz bandwidth and can now 
occasionally get a lock, but mostly just end up with partial locks. 

Interestingly, tzap has no trouble tuning:

$ head -n1 channels.conf
BBC ONE Scot:522000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:
QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE:101:102:4220

$ tzap -c channels.conf "BBC ONE Scot"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file 'channels.conf'
tuning to 522000000 Hz
video pid 0x0065, audio pid 0x0066
status 0f | signal f9ee | snr 00d1 | ber 001fffff | unc 00000000 | 
status 1f | signal ffff | snr 010f | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
^C

So something changed, but I'm still struggling to find out what.

Good luck,
Ed
