All,
So, I am starting to wonder if MythTV has support
for HD broadcasts on a pcHDTV. Here's what I've
done...
I've tried to get it to say that it was trying to
tune to channel 3.1 again, but I can't figure out what
I did. I used the DVB drivers, the atsc drivers, you
name it. MythTV doesn't recognize the HD side of the
card. I decided to jump ship from FC3 and installed
KnoppMyth hoping that it would just work. No again.
This time, luckily, it detected the card and set it up
correctly in the Card setup. However, when I try to
add an input connection to the card, there is no card
listed. If I were to add the NTSC side of the card,
then I am able to match my listings to the inputs on
the NTSC card, but not when I am using the DVB drivers
or the ATSC drivers.
I have tried almost every major Linux distro
(Debian, FC, SuSE, KnoppMyth, Ubuntu) and I can't get
MythTV to care about the card. I am positive that
this is because I am missing some paradigm that
everyone else seems to get. I've followed every HOWTO
with the pcHDTV in it and Myth still won't run HD.
Like I said earlier in this thread, I can tune with
xine, so I know it works and it isn't a hardware
problem.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me if they have an OTA
pcHDTV setup working at all and if they are actually
viewing HDTV output? (If so, please describe what you
did, not just a "Mine works!" Also, I am just stuck
on how to configure MythTV to work with the pcHDTV
3000. So telling me how to get the packages with apt
or yum, won't help). I guess what I am asking is what
Myth is looking for because it is obviously something
different than either the pcHDTV drivers are making
available, or an inability of Myth to correctly read
the card.
I'm really stuck, so if anyone has any suggestions,
I'm all ears.
Thanks,
Brandon

Installed FC4, followed Jarod Wilsons guide, even tho its for FC3.
Since FC4 is using a 2.12 kernel, all I needed to do as root was:
modprobe cx88-dvb
Checked dmesg and saw:
cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.4 loaded
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:07.2[A] -> Link [LNK1] -> GSI 3 (level, low)

DVB: registering frontend 1 (pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV)...
Checked the permissions on /dev/dvb/adapter1 (as adapter0 is my air2pc
card) :
ll -h /dev/dvb/adapter1/
total 0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 212, 68 Jul 23 11:44 demux0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 212, 69 Jul 23 11:44 dvr0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 212, 67 Jul 23 11:44 frontend0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 212, 71 Jul 23 11:44 net0
All was good on the permissions (note, you may need to modify the
permissions on the dev if you dont have rw access to it, and it may not
survive a reboot, so youll have to add it to your init scripts)
Fired up mythtv-setup and was able to config the pchdtv3k card with no
issues.
HTH

P.S. Oh yeah, this is for OTA HD broadcasts and I CAN watch and record
off the pchdtv3k card.
