[mythtv-users] PCTV 292e DVB-T2

[David Matthews]

I have a DVBSky T9580 which has the same SI2168 tuner chip as the PCTV 
292e.  Myth worked with the closed-source driver on DVB-T and DVB-T2 but 
I found a problem when I tried the open-source driver.  It would work 
only on DVB-T.

I'm testing some patches to support DVB-T2 and it now works for me.  I 
followed the same approach as Myth currently uses to switch between 
DVB-S and DVB-S2.  If the "mod_sys" field in the dtv_multiplex table 
contains "DVB-T2" the driver is set to use DVB-T2 otherwise it is set to 
DVB-T.

I haven't submitted the patches yet for two reasons.  First, the only 
way to set a multiplex to DVB-T2 is to manually enter the multiplex in 
the database.  I haven't done anything yet about mythtv-setup.  It needs 
some way to set the modulation to either DVB-T or DVB-T2 when entering a 
multiplex manually and also a way to do a full scan with DVB-T2. 
Secondly, I'm using the fixes-0.27 branch and I'd need to test with 
master before submitting the patches.  If anyone wants to test what I've 
done so far or take it over and finish it please let me know.
