Support for RTL2832P tuner

am-silex opened this issue · comments

Hello
I've bought Astrometa DVB-T2 tuner and discovered that it has RTL2832P and R828D tuner. Basically, it's the same as RTL-SDR Blog V4. Hoverer, while I've added support for ven & prod ID in local build using commit with tag beta-1 I can't start this tuner. It's available in list, but when I'm trying to enable it says
Status Error - Unable to initialize R828D

rtl_eeprom

Using device 0: Astrometa DVB-T/DVB-T2
Found Rafael Micro R828D tuner

Current configuration:
__________________________________________

Product ID:             0x0131
Manufacturer:           astrometadvbt2

Serial number:          0011
Serial number enabled:  no
Bias Tee always on:     no

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to investigate this error add add support for tuners based on RTL2832P chip

Describe alternatives you've considered
Can't think of any...

Additional context
I understand that this chip is no match to authentic RTL-SDR Blogs

Additional log
[AWT-EventQueue-0] ERROR i.g.d.s.t.m.DiscoveredUSBTuner - Unable to start tuner [RTL-2832] - error: Unable to initialize R828D [116MB/170MB 68%]

There's an existing issue for this: #227 - Closing.

Feel free to add support for this tuner and submit a pull request. Otherwise I plan to add support at some time in the future.
