For your information I currently run successfully svn 19395 that I have
patched with the following patches:
(a) t5882_S2Api_5.diff
(b) channel_mux_patch2.diff
(c) inappropriate_mux.diff
(d) bad_tuning_fix.diff
(e) changeset_r19094.diff
(f) 01-199-channelgroup.4.1.patch
Patch (e) is very important..... It turns out that it takes sometimes up
to 30s for some dvb-s2 HD channels to display... This patches prevents the
automatic timeout after 10s... It all works OK but for some dvb-s2
channels you need to be ready to wait up to 30s before the channel is
displayed on the screen in live tv-mode..In the best cases, the dvb-s2
channel appears after 3s in live tv-mode. Patch (f) is not s2api related
but I think you should know that it works ok with s2api. It allows to
create "bouquet" or "channel groups" like on any basic satellite receiver,
so it is quite useful ( I used it to create a channel group called HDTV ).
Last but not least, I noticed you use a kernel 2.6.28, are you sure your
sat pci cards are recognised by your system ? This to my knowledge the
first kernel version that includes s2api..or at least is supposed to..but
for all the cards ??? .Maybe you better downgrade to 2.6.27 and patch the
kernel with s2liplianin or v4ldvb drivers...This is what I have done and
my twinhan dvb-s2 card is recognised ok.
