See, the correct answer should be the "LinuxTV wiki" .... but it doesn't matter, as this has already been done: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_%28800i%29 And speaking of things that have already been done, there already was a discussion on this card just a FEW DAYS AGO. See: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-October/021380.html >> The windows inf file refers to Xceive XC5000 as the tuner in the >> *comment*, but there is NO mentioning of it anywhere else, while >> XC3028 is referenced a few more times (firmware, tuner type comment >> etc). I am pasting the relevant parts of the inf file below. >> >> .... >> >> Based on the windows driver information, is it safe to say that it may >> contain the XC5000 hardware, >> Yes, it is the XC5000 -- hence the overall ability of the card to support 256-QAM, as the XC3028 no can provide such .... (XC3028 can serve up 64-QAM source to the demod, but not 256-QAM). It is possible that Pinnacle also developed a similar card based on the XC3028 -- which would make it, by virtue of component constitution, similar to some other cards on the market (like KWorld ATSC 120, Geniatech X8000a, DViCO F5 nano PCI, maybe others..) -- and hence the presence of the XC3028 stuff in the .inf file, but has only released the XC5000 based board instead. >> I also noticed that on the i2c bus, it seems like the tuner is at >> 0x64 (there are only 3 visible addresses: 0x19 (s5h1409), 0x50 (eeprom), >> and 0x64). However, the windows inf file refers to TunerI2CAddress at >> 0xC2 (which corresponds to 0x61 == (0xC2>>1)). I am puzzled by the >> discrepancy here I'd hazard a guess that the info in the inf only applies to a XC3028 based board, and not a XC5000 based board. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
