Thanks for everybodys help. Just a summary of what I did for anyone else who may be trying to get the PCI version of the Nova-T card working with Mandrake 9.1. [ Note that as far as I understand, this will work with cards purchased since May - as these cards are now the same as the budget Lorenzen cards. http://secret.cream.org/wintv-newtuner.jpg ] I grabbed the latest dvb drivers from linuxtv.org: http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv login cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv co DVB cd DVB make cd DVB/drivers/ then comment out all but 'CARDS = av7110' in the 'Configs' section of DVB/drivers/Makefile and modify DVB/drivers/frontend/Makefile so that tda1004x is initialised with debug enabled 62c62 < $(foreach frontend, $(obj-m), insmod $(frontend) tda1004x_debug=1; ) --- > $(foreach frontend, $(obj-m), insmod $(frontend);) [ Note, at the time of writing, debug must be enabled for the tda1004x frontent for the card to work properly - anyone have any ideas why this is?] then make insmod [ Note, I have devfs running and this seems to work as is. None-the-less, copied the supplied devfs.conf to /etc/devfsd/ and removed the mandrake references to dvb in the /etc/devfs.conf file ] You can compile and use DVB/apps/scan as per the instructions. I added the following to my initial.h to support the Redruth transmitter in the UK. /** * Redruth, Cornwall, (BBC1, ...) */ { .type = FE_OFDM, .param = { .frequency = 618000000, .inversion = INVERSION_OFF, { ofdm: { .bandwidth = BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ, .code_rate_HP = FEC_3_4, .code_rate_LP = FEC_NONE, .constellation = QAM_16, .transmission_mode = TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K, .guard_interval = GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32, .hierarchy_information = HIERARCHY_NONE } } } }, Details for transmitters in your area can be found here (note you should use INVERSION_OFF not INVERSION_AUTO): http://www.itc.org.uk/uk_television_sector/reception_advice/digital_trans_guide/ http://www.dtg.org.uk/publications/books/r_book3.pdf http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/index.html Running the scan application should help you to create a channels.conf file which should be copied to ~/.tzap/channels.conf You can then compile and run the tzap application in DVB/apps/szap: ./tzap -r "BBC ONE" leave this running and if your are getting a signal: in another console type: cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > output leave it running for a few seconds then press ctrl-c. If you've got some data, then the drivers should be set-up ok. To get a picture, I grabbed the latest cvs version of the dvbtools: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvbtools and run dvbstream, for example: ./dvbstream -f 618000 -ps -o 600 601 | mplayer -nocache - gets BBC ONE on the Redruth Transmitter - obviously your frequency and pids will be different from mine. Now I'm off to play with MythTV and VDR. :-) http://www.mythtv.org http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/ -- Adrian Look -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
