[media] stb0899: allow minimum symbol rate of 2000000
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Looks like product datasheets for tuners containing STB0899 are
suggesting specification for min. symbol rate of 2MS/s.
Some specs found here, all suggesting 2MS/s for min. symbol rate:
    Comtech DVBS2-6899
      http://comtech.sg1002.myweb.hinet.net/pdf/dvbs2-6899.pdf
    TechniSat SkyStar HD2
      http://www.scaistar.com/skystar2/skystarhd2.htm
    Azurewave AD-SP400

New patch:
This makes minimum symbol rate driver capabilities on par with some
accessible datasheet specifications*, and allows tuning on linux to
transponders that have symbol rate between 2000000-5000000, too.
Patch was tested successfully on Eutelsat 16A transponders that
became reachable with it (2000000 < symbol rate < 5000000):
      * DVB/S  12507050 V  2532000 3/4
      * DVB/S2 12574000 V  4355000 3/4 8PSK
      * DVB/S  12593000 V  2500000 2/3
      * DVB/S  12596940 V  2848000 2/3
      * DVB/S  12600750 V  2500000 1/2
      * DVB/S  12675590 H  4248000 3/4
(*) Datasheet: http://comtech.sg1002.myweb.hinet.net/pdf/dvbs2-6899.pdf
        Maximum Symbol Rate
        QPSK/LDPC/PCH: 20-30Mbps
        8PSK/LDPC/BCH: 10-30Mbps
        DVB: 2-45Mbps
