 You should base your work off the master branch.  The tda18271 driver in 
 that tree should work well enough for you.  I don't know anything about 
 the IF within the saa7136 -- I would guess it is something like a tda8290 
 or tda8295, which may need some work for analog support.  For digital tv, 
 you can attach the tda18271 the same way as is done in cx23885-dvb for the 
 hvr1800, with alt_tuner=1.

 You'll have some work to do to get the saa7136 analog video decoder 
 working as well... I've heard it may be compatible with the saa7134 code, 
 but that driver currently expects to be used as a PCI bridge.

 Given the CY7C68013A, you probably don't want to touch any of the dib0700 
 code, although we still don't know what digital demod / channel decoder is 
 used in your device.  Are there any other chips inside?

Some of the vendors (more than one) wrote to me that the TDA18271 driver 
doesn't work. That was the basis of my statement.
(maybe it works with some hauppauge product, don't know)

Actually, I have heard reports from some people that they have gotten
the tda18271 to work for DVB-T in their tests.  I haven't been able to
successfully test that yet myself, but I welcome patches if there are
any problems with the driver.

This device might be supported soon. Other than that, I guess the 
TDA18271 driver doesn't support DVB-T as of now.

Sure, setup a channels file and try tuning to ATSC to QAM.

I'm not on my dev system right now, but form memory you should also see 
messages similar to 'S5H1409 registers as frontend 0' in /var/log/messages

I believe that this afatech device is what you want to start off working with, 
for dvb support.  Unfortunately, I don't know much about those, but I think 
there is somebody working on it.

[linux-dvb] HVR4000 & DVB-S2 - What am I doing wrong ;-)

[boppdvb]

Hello!

I'm trying to get my HVR4000 working with DVB-S2 and VDR but tonight I 
think I have figured out that I have a problem with the driver or 
something as I cant get lock on a S2-channel with szap2 ...

This is what I've done:

Downloaded the latest hg from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto

Patched it with this patch:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@linuxtv.org/msg28003/multiproto-hvr4k.patch.bz2

make all; make install

modprobe isl6421
modprobe cx24116
modprobe cx88-dvb

Then I downloaded a szap2 from somewhere on the net ;-)

radiokaka szap2 # ./szap2 -t 2 "SVT HD"
reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf'
zapping to 3 'SVT HD':
sat 1, frequency = 11421 MHz H, symbolrate 2500, vpid = 0x0200, apid 
= 0x0280 sid = 0x0ed9 (fec = -2147483648, mod = 2)
Querying info .. Delivery system=DVB-S2
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

do_tune: Frequency = 1671000, Srate = 2500 (DVB-S2)
do_tune: Frequency = 1671000, Srate = 2500 (SET_PARAMS)

status 01 | signal d1c0 | snr  | ber  | unc  |

(it's on my second port on the Diseqc)

And this is my ~/.szap/channels.conf entry:
SVT HD:11421:h:1:25000:512:640:3801

dmesg gives the following output:

Is there anyone that sees what I'm doing wrong? I've been struggling 
with this for a few days and it would be great to get it working!

Thanks for any help!

You should base your work off the master branch.  The tda18271 driver in that 
tree should work well enough for you.  I don't know anything about the IF 
within the saa7136 -- I would guess it is something like a tda8290 or tda8295, 
which may need some work for analog support.  For digital tv, you can attach 
the tda18271 the same way as is done in cx23885-dvb for the hvr1800, with 
alt_tuner=1.

You'll have some work to do to get the saa7136 analog video decoder working as 
well... I've heard it may be compatible with the saa7134 code, but that driver 
currently expects to be used as a PCI bridge.

Given the CY7C68013A, you probably don't want to touch any of the dib0700 code, 
although we still don't know what digital demod / channel decoder is used in 
your device.  Are there any other chips inside?

[linux-dvb] AverTV Hybrid Volar HX

[Zdenek Kabelac]

Hello

I should start a new thread about this USB2.0 device.

I'd like to get this device working - from another thread on this list
it looks like it should be possible to achieve.

So I'd like to get some information (and eventually some irc
help/short introduction) how to make it working.

I've tried simply to extend current Aver Volar Dib0700 code :) however
except from the fact I get  firmware loader somewhere, I'm for this
moment lost (well it's been just a wild blind try what will happen ;))

I'll repeat which chips I could find in the USB device -
SAA7136E,CY7C68013A,TDA18271HDC1

So how could I connect these pieces together into some usable stage
(at least for DVB-T for this moment.

Which tree should I select (where all these chips would be supported
at the some time - from the first overview it looks like there is way
too many different trees.

[linux-dvb] pcHDTV5500 cx88-dvb module issue / possible bug

[Mr Greg Bazar]

Hi all.

I spent a few hours with mkrufky in the #linuxtv IRC last night
 troubleshooting a problem I am having with my DVB card (pcHDTV 5500).

Mkrufky suggested that I e-mail this group after we didn't come up with
 anything that made sense.

Basically, the card is detected, as seen in dmesg, and the module tries
 to load, but I don't get a /dev/dvb device.  If I modprobe the
 cx88-dvb module manually, I get a FATAL error, saying the device is not found.

Mkrufky had me build the latest drivers from the mercurial source tree,
 and that didn't help (hg heads = changeset: 6937:f637ac5a5898)

The analog side of the card works fine.

I am running a Mythbuntu 7.10 iso install with the latest apt updates
 applied.  This card was working yesterday on my Ubuntu 6.06 install with
 Myth, and I did a clean install of the Mythbuntu setup.

My output from the build of the new modules + the resulting reboot and
 dmesg is here: http://pastebin.ca/838697

Any help would be appreciated.  I am wondering if it is something with
 UDEV etc, but I don't know enough about those systems to be anything
 other than dangerous.

Thanks,

MrYutz / Greg

I don't know what that is.  Sorry.

Yes, I have the latest version compiled and installed.  I consistently
don't get any audio (although I've only tried the tuner input and not
the composite or s-video inputs).

As Steven pointed out, the xc3028-v27.fw is for the HVR-950.  I had
the same issue a few weeks ago trying to generate the firmware file
using the various tools in the source tree (see thread "[PATCH]
tuner-xc2028.c firmware loading panic" from Dec 9th for more info).
Mauro was nice enough to email it to me out-of-band.



I don't get that error message any more.  I think I did something wrong with 
manually loading the modules.  I rebooted (and set debug=1 on a bunch of 
modules in /etc/modprobe.d) and now get only 

tuner' 5-0061: tuner type not set

and I don't know what that means or how to fix it.  


That said, I'm not sure how he would feel about me redistributing it.

With the firmware he sent, analog support for the HVR-950 appeared to
work, albeit with no audio (I'm not sure if the problem is the driver
or something else in my system yet).



Are you compiling the mainline v4l-dvb tree?  Does audio still not work for you?

Hi!

I already did some work on the Avermedia dvb-s pro based on your patches. But 
it did not work correctly until now.
I listed all data here: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia_AVerTV_DVB-S_Pro_(A700)

The analog patch works and I hope it can get included into the v4l-dvb repo.

For the other parts:
I suggest to either do one zl1003x driver for zl10036, zl10037, zl10038, 
zl10039, ce5037 and ce5039.

Or do two drivers:
a: for zl10036 and zl10038 (without special register addresses)
b: for zl10037, zl10039, ce5037 and ce5039 (with normal register addresses)

I also suggest to do one driver for vp310, mt312 and zl10313.

Matthias

I can confirm that Julian has patched scan (http://jusst.de/manu/scan.tar.bz2)
at least for H.264 and some others, plus some other aspects of scan. Awaiting
feedback on that patched scan.

Argh. How many transmitters are there? I think it would be quite convenient 
(for the user) to only have one fr-Paris, so we could put multiple 
transmitters into that file ...

good morning,
in the attachment you will find a new file for your dvb-t area list
which should work for the german Ravensburg/Bodenseekreis.
I am very thankful if you would use it to make kaffeine better for the
terrestial broadcast in our (smaller) areas.

I did somewriting in january 2007, but I ahdn't the knowledge of dvb-s
and its internals. Know, since you have done the zl10039, I will give it
a second try ;)

-snip- see initial post for additional output


Sorry to follow up my own post, but really keen to get this working -  
I've had this card working under linux a few years ago, so the card is/ 
was supported. The antenna works for my digital set-top-box. I  
verified that the initial tuning data is correct.

What else can I try?

Many have suggested the possibility of combining the vp310,mt312,zl313 and 
intel 6313 demodulators into a single driver. Now that the 313 is working 
this will be easier.

Unfortunately the zl10036 tuner register map differs from the zl10039 tuner, 
so this driver will definitely not work for you. However, writing s zl10036 
driver would be trivial, as a full datasheet is available.

I will test it on my Avermedia DVB-S Pro, which is ZL10313/ZL10036
based.

Is it a good idea to rename the the driver to zl1031x.c / zl1003x.c ?

zl1031x.c: zl100312/zl100313/intel6313
zl1003x.c: zl10036/zl10037/zl10038/zl10039 tuner

Thanks for the driver, I will try it out ;)
