Hi guys, Sorry if this is know problem with fix but have been searching all day for an answer and tried many, many things. Think I'm almost there but just can't seem to get this card to work with Linux. Hardware: no-name PCI box Tuner: MSI TV@nywhere A/D (MSI TV Anywhere A/D) v1.1 (I think the v1.1 is crucial!). Looking at the card it has the SAA7131 (?? hard to make out) and TDA10046A chips. kernel: latest (2.6.23.13) with all relevant modules (I think!) built which seem to load. 'lspci' shows: 00:0d.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.: Unknown device 8625 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10 Memory at dfffe800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Without any modprobe params this appears in dmesg with 'modprobe saa7134': saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded saa7133[0]: found at 0000:00:0d.0, rev: 209, irq: 10, latency: 32, mmio: 0xdfffe800 saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1462:8625, board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC [card=0,autodetected] saa7133[0]: board init: gpio is 200100 tuner 1-004b: chip found @ 0x96 (saa7133[0]) saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 00: 62 14 25 86 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 10: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 20: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 40: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 50: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 60: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] saa7133[0]: registered device vbi0 /dev/video appears but no /dev/dvb so the frontend isn't there - clearly no good.

That second machine is running MythTV flawlessly so I know the frequencies in the MythTV DB are good. When you fire up mythbackend on the machine with MSI card in though it cannot get a lock. I tried tuning direct with tzap, again this works on the Avermedia card but MSI gives: # ./tzap -c channels.conf-robs "ABC TV Sydney" using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' tuning to 543500000 Hz video pid 0x0200, audio pid 0x028a status 00 | signal 0000 | snr d2d2 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr d5d5 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr d9d9 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr d3d3 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr d3d3 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr d4d4 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr d4d4 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0000 | snr d5d5 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 | I have also tried the Flyview firmware as a last resort, but that is also listed as version 20. I'd like to give later firmware a go, but can't find anything after revision 20. Can anyone advise how to extract the .fw file from the .sys file that's on the CD that came with the card? Any help greatly appreciated - this has been frustrating all day! :( Thanks in advance, Rob _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
