think it is in RFmod.py ...


config.rfmod.channel = ConfigSelection(default = "36", choices = ["%d" % x for x in range(RFMOD_CHANNEL_MIN, RFMOD_CHANNEL_MAX)])

file is in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components


but i`m not guilty if you have a greenscreen after reboot :) because I can`t try that ...

Changed the 36 to 11 and the image quality increased in my setup.
But the frequency stays the same in channel 71...any ideas in where to make it stay in channel 21 as the default firmware?

Cheers!

thank you tryed that but no good when i scan it on my main tv it appears at 871.20 and thats just not reachable on thetv in the othere room so i need to change the channle and i am sure the default *36* is not actualy taking affect as that would put it at around 591.25Mhz

I am absolutely positive that you can't change the RF at all for the moment. As long as no one has written any drivers or at least something that pokes the register that sets the RF output nothing will happen and AFAIK there has been nothing mentioned about this in the release notes ever.

How changing the value in RFmod.py could improve the image quality is for me a mystery and it sounds more like a placebo effect.

bugger i was convinced i would be staying on e2 but looks like ill have to go back to the opensat firmware as i need to be able to watch this in bed lol oh well i have waited this long whats a bit longer gonna hurt lol

cheers anyway

Can't you just tune your TV set? I had no problem whatsoever to find the channel.

[BIGIFA]

no the tv in my room only scanns as high as 865.00mhz so i cant quite get to the 871.20 that is required pritty gutted realy was gonna get one of them 22inch hitachis from argos today as well and that would have done it but they all soled out lol

you can use stand alone rf modulator if no fix available

[T33]

Yeh, use an old VHS player in the meantime as RF modulator.

good idea unfortunatly i dont own any VCR`s anymore lol ill have to see what els i can come up with (think a new tv will be the option lol i would like one n e way lol )

I think that the only thing we can as know for devs, being that this is not priority, is that if possible the firmware should come default with RF in channel 21, because the majority of AZbox users, used that frequency, because the signal was good, and all the TVs can tune it!

Cheers!

You know nothing about writing firmware. The big job is to actually write to that/those register(s) (not that it's that hard if you know where to poke) and if that's possible it could easily be configurable.
