HVR-1800 DVB Configuration

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

 



Hi,

I have the Hauppauge HVR-1800 that I am trying to get setup. I can get
the tuner to work on NTSC analog with my local cable provider (Cox
Communications - Phoenix, AZ). I am trying to get the ATSC/QAM tuner
to work with Cox as well. From what I've read, I should be able to get
all of the unencrypted DTV local channels from Cox but I cannot figure
out how to do so.

Following the steps at
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_your_DVB_device, I
created the following channels.conf file:
KASW-DT:537000000:QAM_256:33:36
KSAZ-DT:537000000:QAM_256:49:52
KNXV-DT:555000000:QAM_256:33:36
KPHO-DT:555000000:QAM_256:49:52
KAET-DT-1:567000000:QAM_256:33:34
KPNX-DT:567000000:QAM_256:49:52
KAET-DT-2:567000000:QAM_256:67:70

I've tried running azap 'KAET-DT-2' gives:

using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 567000000 Hz
video pid 0x0043, audio pid 0x0046
status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
...

I then try to run mplayer:
# mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
MPlayer dev-SVN-r26936-4.3.0 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad  CPU   Q9450  @ 2.66GHz (Family: 6,
Model: 23, Stepping: 6)

Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory

Playing /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0.

No window opens - it just sits there and nothing appears to be happening.

I've also tried cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > file.mpg but the
resulting file is always zero bytes.

I'm running Fedora Core 9 with kernel 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64. I
built the latest drivers this evening from mercurial.

Here's lsmod's output:
