Hi list,
I've got 2 Pinnacle PCTV HD 800i cards in my mythtv system running on
debian machines with stock kernels. The usual output is at the end of
this email: uname -a, lspci, pertinent logs.
Both cards are recognized and work fine for analog, but fail to
initialize properly for digital (dvb). They produce errors in
/var/log/syslog and fail to create device nodes. Hardware problems
have been ruled out for one card as it has been tested and works fully
in windows vista (caveat, I am not able to test audio over digital
input due to crappy licensing stuff, but the video works very well).
I've investigated a bit in the code and determined that the probing is
failing in cx88-dvb.c dvb_register(), specifically it fails to attach
the front end. I dug into the frontend, s5h1409.c and determined it's
failing in the existence check for the demod in s5h1409_attach(). The
return value from s5h1409_readreg(state 0x04) is 0x00 instead of the
magic values.
These cards were purchased about a year ago, so is it possible they
are some later revision that the kernel doesn't handle?
I'd like to help in whatever way I can. I'm no kernel hacker, though
I've mucked around with a little module writing, and can certainly
follow instructions to do diagnostics, apply patches, test and so
forth.
Thanks
A
The details for the two machines are pretty much identical except
kernel version and device numbering, so I'll only include one for the
moment.
