Hi folks, I'm messing around trying to get my Kworld PC150-U ATSC hybrid tuner card (17de:a134) to work, and I think I'm almost done. I've been able to get all of the functionality to work on its own: remote control, FM, NTSC, composite input, and ATSC, but for some reason, whenever I use the ATSC decoder, the remote control stops working. Here's what I know about the card so far: Analog Decoder chip: SAA7134HL Tuner: TDA8290+TDA18271 ATSC/ClearQAM Decoder: Samsung S5H1411, TS using parallel input, chip enabled by setting GPIO18 high Remote control: I2C with GPIO8 going low signalling a key press, similar to MSI TV@nywhere Plus, but with different GPIO pin used for signalling. Previous thread about this card found here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/25680/ Looking at the pictures on newegg, the card looks to be the same as the MSI Digi@nywhere A/D Plus, except with a green mask instead of red, a different symbol on the remote control media button, and it doesn't include batteries for the remote :) The EEPROM contents are even the same except for the subdevice id at the beginning. So, whenever I run VLC to watch DTV, button presses stop showing up with the GPIO, and if I force it to poll I2C rather than checking GPIO8, I get a read error of either BUSY or ST_ERR or NO_DEVICE. For that matter, I get a lot of BUSY and ST_ERR, but not NO_DEVICE, with the S5H1411 in general, and hacked together a retry loop for reading and writing registers to get past it. I would suspect just funkiness on the I2C bus, but GPIO8 rarely registers the key press when watching DTV. When it does register the key press, I am able to read the key code over I2C. I'm completely new to working with tuner cards (just since I bought this one a month ago), so I was wondering if any of you out there have had a similar experience with other cards and might have some advice. I'd appreciate any help I can get. I'll be happy to provide code, but I am not running the latest kernel yet. I'm just making the modifications to the ubuntu source, to see whether I could get the thing to work before I go all in building and running the kernel from source control Distribution: Ubuntu 11.10 uname -a: Linux home 3.0.0-12-generic #20 SMP Tue Nov 1 00:33:52 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Modifications made to s5h1411.ko, saa7134.ko, saa7134-alsa.ko, saa7134-dvb.ko, tda8290.ko, tda18271.ko and new module rc_kworld_pc150u.ko.
