I just installed my HVR-1600 and built and installed the cx18 driver
(the "tip" from 2008-02-05, cx18-a52f6755ca2b). I used the hcw18*.rom
files from the Hauppauge! driver CD that came in the box.
I can report the NTSC tuner and MPEG encoder works with mplayer! :)
Qualitatively, the driver appears to be more processor/resource
intensive than ivtv with a PVR-150 (just my initial perception).
The HVR-1600 NTSC/MPEG stream being viewed with mplayer, however, is
*slightly* down and to the right of where it should be. I can see some
of the VBI data as white flecks in a black bar at the top of the screen,
and on the left I see a black bar that corresponds to the HBI. But
compared to the PVR-150, the image is otherwise the same.
I have over the air ATSC signals available to me, so let me know when
and how to do ATSC testing. The digital signals are so much nicer than
the analog signals way out where I live.
Some part numbers from the board:
Analog tuner can: HVR-1600 ATSC/QAM/NTSC 74041 LF Rev C5B2
MPEG Encoder chip: Conexant CX23418-22Z
Other large chip: Conexant CX24227-11Z
small chip: Z(ilog?) S6, Z8F0811, 70255
memory(?) chip: ESMT, (W?)M13S128324A-5B, AZR1P61XNDI 701
small chip: Cirrus Logic CS5345-CQZ
very small chip: (I'm too old, my eyes can't read it)
Stickers on back: MAC 000DFE 0D99D7, 2307
