  1. How to get the bt8xx cards working
  2. ==================================
  3. 1) General information
  4. ======================
  5. This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver
  6. for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
  7. Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge:
  8. Compiling kernel please enable:
  9. a.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
  10. b.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
  11. => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Bt8xx based PCI Cards"
  12. 2) Loading Modules
  13. ==================
  14. In default cases bttv is loaded automatically.
  15. To load the backend either place dvb-bt8xx in etc/modules, or apply manually:
  16. $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
  17. All frontends will be loaded automatically.
  18. People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt.
  19. In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary:
  20. 2a) Running TwinHan and Clones
  21. ------------------------------
  22. $ modprobe bttv card=113
  23. $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
  24. $ modprobe dst
  25. Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module:
  26. verbose=0: messages are disabled
  27. 1: only error messages are displayed
  28. 2: notifications are displayed
  29. 3: other useful messages are displayed
  30. 4: debug setting
  31. dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only
  32. 0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels
  33. The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string".
  34. In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI].
  35. For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated.
  36. Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.
  37. 2b) Running multiple cards
  38. --------------------------
  39. Examples of card ID's:
  40. Pinnacle PCTV Sat: 94
  41. Nebula Electronics Digi TV: 104
  42. pcHDTV HD-2000 TV: 112
  43. Twinhan DST and clones: 113
  44. Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 771: 123
  45. Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761: 124
  46. DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite: 128
  47. DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite: 135
  48. Notice: The order of the card ID should be uprising:
  49. Example:
  50. $ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
  51. $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
  52. For a full list of card ID's please see Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv.
  53. In case of further problems send questions to the mailing list: www.linuxdvb.org.
