Hello Andy, Thanks for the reply. I am really stuck on this. I am using Fedora8, so I did a yum install of the latest dvb-tools application, but I'm not sure which version it is. I am executing this command: $ scandvb /usr/share/dvb-apps/atsc/us-Cable-Standard-center-frequencies-QAM256 On your advice, I checked as discovered that I was running verison 1.0.0 of the cx18 drive. I downloaded the latest cx18 driver and installed it. After running the modprobe as instructed, scandvb could no longer find the device in the /dev directory. After rebooting, scandvb worked again and modinfo reports that I am running version 1.0.4 of cx18. Unfortunately, after several minutes of scanning, the same thing is happening. The scan will not complete. I don't know if this is important or not. I tried scanning using a couple other firequency files. us-Cable-IRC-center-frequencies-QAM256 does the same thing, but us-Cable-HRC-center-frequencies-QAM256 completes without error, it just does not find any channels. I found some interesting stuff in the dmesg output. I have a Happaugue HVR-1600 model 1178, but tveeprom is reporting that it is model 74041. Seems like this might explain where my problem is coming from, but I don't know how to fix it. Here is the dmesg output: cx18: Start initialization, version 1.0.4 cx18-0: Initializing card #0 cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge card ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21 cx18-0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) cx18-0: cx23418 revision 01010000 (B) tveeprom 1-0050: Hauppauge model 74041, rev C5B2, serial# 2884991 tveeprom 1-0050: MAC address is 00-0D-FE-2C-05-7F tveeprom 1-0050: tuner model is TCL M2523_5N_E (idx 112, type 50) tveeprom 1-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) tveeprom 1-0050: audio processor is CX23418 (idx 38) tveeprom 1-0050: decoder processor is CX23418 (idx 31) tveeprom 1-0050: has no radio, has IR receiver, has IR transmitter cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge HVR-1600 cx18-0: Raw VBI supported; Sliced VBI is not yet supported firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 0090270001f82fe5, S400 tuner 2-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (cx18 i2c driver #0-1) cs5345 1-004c: chip found @ 0x98 (cx18 i2c driver #0-0) tuner-simple 2-0061: creating new instance tuner-simple 2-0061: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N) cx18-0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPEG (64 x 32 kB) DVB: registering new adapter (cx18) MXL5005S: Attached at address 0x63 DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 3332 (Samsung S5H1409 QAM/8VSB Frontend)... cx18-0: DVB Frontend registered cx18-0: Registered DVB adapter0 for TS (32 x 32 kB) cx18-0: Registered device video32 for encoder YUV (16 x 128 kB) cx18-0: Registered device vbi0 for encoder VBI (60 x 17328 bytes) cx18-0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM audio (256 x 4 kB) cx18-0: Initialized card #0: Hauppauge HVR-1600 cx18: End initialization And the a little further down... firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw cx18-0: Unable to open firmware v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw cx18-0: Did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory? cx18-0: Retry loading firmware firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw cx18-0: Unable to open firmware v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw cx18-0: Did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory? cx18-0: Failed to initialize firmware starting DVB feed cx18-0: Failed to initialize firmware starting DVB feed Press any key to continue... Any thoughts about this? Thanks, Eric Andy Walls wrote: On Sun, 2009-01-04 at 09:28 -0600, Eric Bauer wrote:Hello, I'm trying to set up my new Happaugue HVR-1600 card.

New one one me, I'll have to investigate. What specific tool, version and command line arguments are you using?I have to kill the scan with a control-c at this point. Can anyone give me some advice with this problem?Make sure you are using the latest cx18 driver from: http://linuxtv.og/hg/v4l-dvb versions older than v1.0.4 of the cx18 driver have problems dealing with the occasional PCI bus error. Instructions can be found here: http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18 Make sure you have a good clean signal coming in: http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Improve_signal_quality Regards, AndyThanks, Eric |
