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':

/dev/video appears but no /dev/dvb so the frontend isn't there - clearly
no good. I read on the wiki that this card is clone of number 94
(LifeView FlyDVB-T Hybrid) so then tried 'modprobe saa7134 card=94' and
got this:

Looks good, huh? /dev/dvb and co. are there but no - this just doesn't
seem work! :'(
In Sydney here so tried doing a plain old './scan
dvb-t/au-Sydney-GoreHill', which I know works because I have another
machine with an Avermedia 777 card inside which finds stations on this
frequency. 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

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
