I am trying to switch to Linux (Ubuntu 7.04 64bits).
I have a Medion MD 6426 (PC Medion SYS 6426.01 (FR))
CPU : Intel Code 2 Duo E6600
Under windows :
Hybrid Card : Creatix SAA7131, Hybrid Capture Device
(PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7133&SUBSYS_001016BE&REV_D1 => model CTX 953)
lspci -v

According to http://www.creatix.com/produkte/multimedia/ctx953.htm (data sheet)
CTX953_V.1.3.1 TV/DVB-T-Tuner Card
CTX953_V.1.3.1 supports analog TV, DVB-T, FM and S-Video/
Composite Video-In/Audio-In internal and at the bracket side.
- PCI 2.2 compliant
RoHS compliant
Philips SAA7131E, TDA8275A, TDA10046
Philips SAA7131E
Features:
The SAA7131E combines a digital global standard low IF demodulator
for analog TV with a PCI audio and video decoder. The IF
demodulator is an alignment-free digital multi standard vision and
sound low IF signal PLL demodulator for positive and negative video
modulation. It can be used worldwide for M/N, B/G/H, I, D/K and L/L'
standards.
Analog/DVB-T section (Philips TDA8275A)
Features:
- 3 Stand-by mode functions
- 1 Sleep mode function
- Low symmetrical IF output (centered at 4MHz, 4.5MHz or 5MHz) for
a direct connection to the TDA8290 (IF demodulator) or the
SAA7131 or SAA7171 (IF demodulator and video decoder) or
channel decoder
- Fully integrated oscillators with no external components
- Fully integrated selectivity
- Crystal oscillator output buffer (16MHz) to drive the IF demodulator
and digital decoder and occasionally another tuner
- Operating range from an ambient temperature of -20°C to a max
ambient temperature compatible with Tjmax
TDA10046AHT:
- 2K and 8K COFDM demodulator (Fully DVB-T compliant: ETS 300-
744).
- All modes supported including hierarchical modes.
- Fully automatic Transmission Parameters detection (including FFT
size and Guard Interval).
- DSP based synchronization
- No extra-host software required.
- UHF/VHF Band Fast Scan.
- Digital Frequency correction (± 90 KHz)
- Frequency offset (from ± 1/6 to ± 3/6 MHz) automatic detection.
- Simultaneous Parallel and Serial Transport stream interfaces.
- I2C Bus interface
I can use the DVB-T card following this procedure :
1) boot under Vista and use the DVB-T card under Windows Media Center
2) reboot under Ubuntu 7.04 64b
3)
rmmod saa7134-dvb ; rmmod saa7134
modprobe saa7134 card=96
modprobe saa7134-dvb
4) launch kdeTV to watch an analogic TV (Secam-L) and quit
(the first time, I had to search for the channels)
5) vlc dvb:// --dvb-frequency=586166000 --dvb-adapter=0 --dvb-bandwidth=8 --program=261
remark : I tried klear, mplayer, kaffeine, with success using fr-Paris :
# Paris - France (DVB-T transmitter of the Eiffel tower)
# T freq bw fec_hi fec_lo mod transmission-mode guard-interval hierarchy
# /home/moi/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/dvb-t/fr-Paris

With this procedure :
- I can watch DVB-T
- I can watch analogic TV but without sound (I don't mind) ...
This procedure is not very good :(
stage 1)
--------
If I don't do that, I don't have "found firmware revision 29 -- ok"
But something like
[17182021.540000] tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock
[17182023.772000 ] tda1004x: timeout waiting for DSP ready

[17182026.176000] tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid
[17182026.176000] tda1004x: firmware upload failed
stage 4)
--------
If I don't do that, the DVB-T signal is not stable.
I downloaded and used/installed the latest v4l-dvb
I am a Unix/Windows developer, so I am not afraid to change/build/install v4l-dvb.
Can anybody help me to have a better support for the creatix CTX953 card ?
Best regards
