I have been testing the latest cx23885 driver built from http://git.kernellabs.com/?p=stoth/cx23885-hvr1850-fixups.git;a=summary running on kernel 3.3.4 with my HVR-1800 (model 78521). I am able to watch analog TV with tvtime using the raw device, /dev/video0. But if I try to use it with the MPEG device, /dev/video1, I briefly get a blue screen and then tvtime segfaults. cat /dev/video1 > /tmp/foo.mpg gives video with moving, distorted, mostly black and white diagonal lines just like @Britney posted here: http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?p=1636. My dmesg shows video0 being set up like this: [ 8.697567] cx23885[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] [ 8.697647] cx23885[0]: registered device vbi0 [ 8.697840] cx23885[0]: registered ALSA audio device and video1 like this: [ 9.779115] cx23885[0]: registered device video1 [mpeg] [ 9.779133] Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xd857f5e9, cmd = PING_FW Could the broken MPEG video be related to this firmware error? I am using firmware from here: http://steventoth.net/linux/hvr1800/ BTW, digital video works fine on this card.
