Sorry for the long post here - just trying to provide all the relevant
(hopefully) info.
I've made some progress setting up a KWorld Vstream Xpert PCI DVB-T
card on a FC3 box, and created a channels.conf file by using the scan
tool. However, when I run tzap I get an error:
[elm|~/.tzap]# /usr/src/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/szap/tzap "ABC TV"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
ERROR: failed opening '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' (Device or resource busy)
So there's obviously something wrong here, but as I'd run scan
successfully from the command line I assumed that the card was
working. Here's the 1st few lines of my channels.conf from the scan
command:
ABC HDTV:226500000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_7_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRANSMII
SSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_16:HIERARCHY_NONE:2314:0:544
ABC TV Sydney:226500000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_7_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRR
ANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_16:HIERARCHY_NONE:512:650:545
ABC2:226500000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_7_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRANSMISSIOO
N_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_16:HIERARCHY_NONE:2307:2308:546
The permissions on the device files are as follows:
[~/.mythtv]$ ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/
crw-rw-rw- 1 root mythtv 212, 4 May 7 16:57 demux0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root mythtv 212, 5 May 7 16:57 dvr0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root mythtv 212, 3 May 7 16:57 frontend0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root mythtv 212, 7 May 7 16:57 net0
I'm wondering whether there are supposed to be more devices in that
directory such as audio0, ca0, osd0, video0 (as per
http://www.ethics-gradient.net/myth/mythdvb.html). Could this be my problem?
My lspci output is:
[elm|~]# lspci | grep Conex
02:01.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Winfast TV2000 XP (rev 05)
02:01.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant: Unknown device 8802 (rev 05)
Should it say Winfast TV2000 for a KWorld Vstream Xpert PCI DVB-T card?
My lsmod output is:

So it looks like some dvd and conexant modules are loaded.
Can anyone suggest any ideas as to why the cards reports as busy to tzap?
Thanks,
