Greetings; I have a pcHDTV-3000 tv card, capable of rx'ing analog signals when they can be found, but now we have made the switch to 8-vsb digital for most of the local channels. leaving only 5 in the analog mode yet, by request from Our senator. There are 2 files in the /lib/firmware directory for this card which I assume put it in the digital mode for the correct signal std: dvb-fe-or51132-qam.fw, not of use unless I feed it a cable signal. dvb-fe-or51132-vsb.fw, which seems to be the correct one. I see the last one being loaded in the dmesg output if the reboot has been a powerdown reboot, but not 100% of the time for a hot reboot. I have mythtv trying to receive data from the card, but it appears to be treating the data as analog noise. I may be using the wrong device as mythtv's input, but there doesn't seem to be a right device. I know the card can work, I had it working with kaffiene a couple of weeks ago, but that program is far from everyday usability yet. Lockups are like cracks in new cement, the question is not if it will crack/lockup, but when. So in my quest to shoot some trouble, I am wondering if there is a way to force the reloading of this firmware into this card short of a powerdown reboot, which I consider playing russian roulette with hard drive life? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
