ASUS 'My Cinema Europa Hybrid' (P7131 DVB-T) [SAA7134] Firmware oddities

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

 



Hi everyone,

So It's my first time to LinuxTV hacking, debugging etc, so I
apologize if I've failed to provide anything essential.

Anyways, I've just bought a ASUS 'My Cinema Europa Hybrid' (P7131
DVB-T) which has the Phillips saa7131 chipset in it (supported by the
saa7131 module et al). There is a problem getting the firmware in this
card to boot correctly - I may have the wrong card number and I cannot
use i2c because it detects it as UNKNOWN/GENERIC (i.e type 0) which
doesn't work.

According to /usr/share/doc/linux/video4linux etc my card number
should be either 78, 111 or 112. Specifying card=x seems to make the
module somewhat recognize the card, and even though I have the
firmware - it won't actually boot. This is shown by the fact that all
dvb operations essentially just time out and the fact that I cannot
scan channels in software like tvtime. I might be wrong though.

Here is relevant output which might assist in helping the problem:

Any help would be greatly appreciated however I understand if this
isn't a fixable issue. If so it would be nice to know where I could
buy (online) TV Tuner cards with a composite input, are the old PCI
type and of course work well with Linux (Fedora 10 at least).

Thanks in advance,

Sam
