Multi Frontend Drivers for HVR4000 (And others)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've been playing with the latest http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/ drivers (Multi frontend Support) for the HVR4000 (http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/v4l-dvb-hg-mfe-latest.diff) and they seem to work well.  I can use either DVB-S or DVB-T (via mythtv and swap easily between them) (butt not use them at the same time which is just a limitation of the device)
 
But a couple of problems.
Not many programs support the multifrontend as of yet. Like the biggest one Mythtv :-)
You have to do the below so it sees two cards
 
mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter1
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter1/net1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/net0
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0
 
Analog TV Tuning Stops working after you 1st use the DVB-T or DVB-S device
 
a few i2c errors when it first boots up.
 
tda9887 2-0043: i2c i/o error: rc == -121 (should be 4)
DVB: registering new adapter (cx88[0])
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Conexant CX24116/CX24118)...
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Conexant CX22702 DVB-T)...
it says registering frontend 0 both times, but thats just cosmetic and should easily be fixed
