Re: [linux-dvb] State of TwinhanDTV Sat-CI VP-1034 support

Hi All,

I'm looking into building a MythTV-based HTPC at the moment. I would
like to view digital satellite channels, and I'm looking into the
hardware now.

I would like to view the TV Vlaanderen (CanaDigitaal sister company in
Belgium) encrypted channels, so I'll require a card with a CI slot and
a CAM. TV Vlaanderen sells its own CAMs, so I'll go for one of those.
But the PCI card is the one I'm asking about.

I was planning on going for a TwinhanDTV Sat-CI VP-1034, Mantis-based
card. What is the current support status in the Linux kernel for this
card? Does it work at all, and does it work with crypted channels?

Currently the driver for the TwinhanDTV Mantis cards is in alpha phase. 
Currently tuning and channel viewing works but not all channels are 
found on the satellite.
The CI slot is currently not supported so encrypted channels are not 
viewable.
Work is currently going on to get CI support and to get the missing 
channels back.

Or do you have any suggestions for other cards that will do the trick
in Linux? And if possible a reseller of those via mail order in
Belgium or the Netherlands?

I bought mine through www.factoryprices.nl (www.factoryprices.be) but 
they do not sell it anymore.

Hmm, not much support then... Are there any other cards anyone would
recommend that do work well in linux? I'm not really in the mood to
install windows MCE on this machine. I want to get it right from the
first try :)

[linux-dvb] Support for AverTV Hybrid+RM Volar USB (A828)

2007-01-06 Thread Ben Hodgetts (Enverex)
Hi, I bought this the other day after a lot of hassle as it's the only 
device I've ever seen that does everything I want... problem is their 
Linux Support which they claim is virtually non existant. After buying 
it I download the driver only to find it's version 0.03 (reassuring) and 
only supports x86 (I'm on x86_64) which left me screwed. So I still 
can't use it.


I was wondering if anyone is working on an actual Linux kernel driver 
for this? I assume it would be much easier to implement than something 
with no support as they provide the source to build their kernel driver 
with 
(http://www.avermedia.com/software/AVERMEDIA-Linux-A828-0.03-beta.zip - 
you run the script, tell it where to put it in expert mode and it 
downloads the source).


So, is there any chance of getting this to work or do I have just more 
dead hardware? :(

[linux-dvb] Nebula Digitv USB version

2007-01-06 Thread Fraser
Hello,

I had my digitv up and running fine in Fedora core 5 (using a 2.6.17 kernel). I
recently upgraded to fedora core 6 (2.6.18) and since doing this my device has
stopped working properly. Initialisation etc appears fine but the device will 
not
tune. Tuning process itself seems ok. No access errors or anything like that
however the signal strength is zero all the way. The device is fine (still works
in windows). I checked out the latest mercurial and it didn't help. Any help
would be appreciated.
Mine is the older Nxt6000 demodulator not the zarlink one.

Edit nxt6000.c

Go to ~line 467 and add this line:

if (fe-ops.tuner_ops.set_params) {
+   if (fe-ops.i2c_gate_ctrl) fe-ops.i2c_gate_ctrl(fe, 1);
fe-ops.tuner_ops.set_params(fe, param);
if (fe-ops.i2c_gate_ctrl) fe-ops.i2c_gate_ctrl(fe, 0);
}


Thanks to Alex Woods for fixing this... This will be merged into the master 
repository soon.
( i will also see to it that the -stable kernels get updated with this patch )

Good Luck,

So I tried to install the VLC version for FC4 on FC6. The following problem
occured:

Could someone give me a hand?

It is available in the livna or freshrpms repos.
http://rpm.livna.org/ or http://zod.freshrpms.net 

# yum list vlc\*

Available Packages
vlc.x86_64   0.8.5-6.lvn6   livna

A bit OT for this list though.

[linux-dvb] HVR3000 Analogue tuner problems

2007-01-06 Thread sibaz

Hi,
   I'm running kubuntu with a 2.6.17 kernel and I've installed the 
latest v4l as per http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=17223, 
and while I can get S-Video working, scantv and tvtime-scanner don't 
seem to do anything to the tuner.  I've tried rmmod and insmod ing the 
tuner module a few times, but it doesn't help.  My tuner just won't pick 
up any of the analogue signals present.  I've tested using a TV signal 
generator and it can't find that either.  I can't test DVB-T as that 
won't reach me here until the London switch over day. 
  If I whether I unload the tuner module or not, when I run scantv it 
appears to run fine (but clearly doesn't as it doesn't pick up any 
signals).  How can I tell that it is talking to the device correctly.  
I've seen 
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-December/014732.html 
which talks about a similar problem, although I haven't had Roberts 
success when unloading and reloading the tuner module. 

   As an aside (and possibly unrelated) the machine in question dual 
booted fine, then I started messing with the linux kernel and now WinXP 
won't boot.  I can start it in safe mode, but if I try normally it just 
spends for ever doing the night rider thing without ever booting.


   Any thoughts?

Sibaz

Fw: [linux-dvb] Problem with Kworld ATSC-110

hermann pitton wrote:
 it was just a typo adding the card to this case
statement instead to 
the
 above one for the i2c remotes in saa7134_board_init1
saa7134-cards.c.

 It is already fixed in the followup patch and really
did nothing else
 than the print out. I pointed to it on the
video4linux-list, but 
forgot
 the copy for the linux-dvb ML.




   

Thanks Hermann  I guess I originally
missed/overlooked your v4l
reply, but checking back I do see it now!

Of interest to John, Dwaine and other users, I checked
the card's entry
on the MythTV wiki
(http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Kworld_ATSC_110)
and it has a
recent addition that cites that support for the analog
side of the card
has recently been added to the SVN.  See:
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/12255


Thanks for the help. I did update my mythtv via the
svn a few weeks ago and it does give me the option to
configure the analog option for the Kworld ATSC-110.
Unfortunately, the analog side of the card doesn't
work. When I modprobe the saa7134-dvb, it creates the
/dev/dvb/adapter0 and /dev/video0 as expected. The
problem is that it appears to me that once I load
saa7134-dvb it assigns both the /dev/dvb/adapter0 and
/dev/video0 to the top RF input of the Kworld card. So
for example in myth, I create the card as a DVB and it
gives me the DVB0 input and after setting the analog
option I get the - /dev/v4l/video0 input as expected.
I have OTA antenna in top RF port and the NTSC in the
bottom RF port. I assign my sources and fire up the
back and frontends. I go to watch TV and I get OTA
digital channels but no analog. I swap the RF inputs
then I get NTSC channels and no OTA digital.

I've also done the same test with tvtime. Set tvtime
to the /dev/v4l/video0 and if the cable is in the top
port I get analog tv when I move it to the bottom port
I get nothing. The same for digital when using azap.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a limitation with
this card as the way it stands today?

Thanks again for your efforts.
