I have an Avermedia M199 bt878/CX24110 based PCI DVB-s card.
It was autodetected as card 0 by the driver however I dicovered by accident
that the Pinnacle PCTVsat card has the same components and that by modprobing
it as card=94 was able to get a bit further. THen by modifying dvb-bt8xx,
bttv-cards etc I was able to get the card recognised as an Avermedia M199.
I did this by copying any stuff for the pinnacle card and simply changing
pinnacle to Aver. So far so good. The card fires up, all the relevant drivers
get loaded ( bttv, CX24110,dvb-bt8xx and bt878) and using VDR I can get a
lock on a channel ( evidence from Femon and Rotor plugins) but the Femon
plugin also shows that there is no video or audio info being processed.
Femon also shows a low "quality" reading
There is quite obviously some more work to do but I am at the end of my small
knowledge now.
Does anyone know what else needs tweaking, how to determine GPio data and
where this resides in the drivers or indeed any thing else that might help.
( Someone may already have done it although I've searched the web pretty
exhaustively for info)
Is there any other info I could provide to help those with more skill and
knowledge than me?
The card works well in Windows with both the Aver application and Progdvb
so I know the card works.
Any help or advice will be gratefully received.
