How to get the Nebula, PCTV and Twinhan DST cards working
|
|
=========================================================
|
|
|
|
This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and
|
|
require the bttv driver.
|
|
|
|
Please pay close attention to the warning about the bttv module
|
|
options below for the DST card.
|
|
|
|
1) General informations
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
These drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means to access
|
|
the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
|
|
|
|
Because of this, you need to enable
|
|
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
|
|
=> "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
|
|
|
|
Furthermore you need to enable
|
|
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
|
|
=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/TwinHan PCI Cards"
|
|
|
|
2) Loading Modules
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
|
|
i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver.
|
|
The frontends for Nebula (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV (cx24110) and
|
|
TwinHan (dst) are loaded automatically by the dvb-bt8xx device driver.
|
|
|
|
3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)
|
|
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)
|
|
|
|
3b) TwinHan
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
|
|
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
$ modprobe dst
|
|
|
|
The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx, which
|
|
is necessary for TwinHan cards.#
|
|
|
|
If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks your
|
|
machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the DVB mailing list.
|
|
|
|
The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters, in case the
|
|
dst drivers fails to detect your type of card correctly.
|
|
|
|
dst_type takes values 0 (satellite), 1 (terrestial TV), 2 (cable).
|
|
|
|
dst_type_flags takes bit combined values:
|
|
1 = new tuner type packets. You can use this if your card is detected
|
|
and you have debug and you continually see the tuner packets not
|
|
working (make sure not a basic problem like dish alignment etc.)
|
|
|
|
2 = TS 204. If your card tunes OK, but the picture is terrible, seemingly
|
|
breaking up in one half continually, and crc fails a lot, then
|
|
this is worth a try (or trying to turn off)
|
|
|
|
4 = has symdiv. Some cards, mostly without new tuner packets, require
|
|
a symbol division algorithm. Doesn't apply to terrestial TV.
|
|
|
|
You can also specify a value to have the autodetected values turned off
|
|
(e.g. 0). The autodected values are determined bythe cards 'response
|
|
string' which you can see in your logs e.g.
|
|
|
|
dst_check_ci: recognize DST-MOT
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
dst_check_ci: unable to recognize DSTXCI or STXCI
