5 This is a v4l2 device driver for the cx2388x chip.
13 - Some minor image quality glitches.
14 - For now only capture, overlay support isn't completed yet.
17 - The chip specs for the on-chip TV sound decoder are next
19 - Neverless the builtin TV sound decoder starts working now,
20 at least for PAL-BG. Other TV norms need other code ...
21 FOR ANY REPORTS ON THIS PLEASE MENTION THE TV NORM YOU ARE
23 - Most tuner chips do provide mono sound, which may or may not
24 be useable depending on the board design. With the Hauppauge
25 cards it works, so there is mono sound available as fallback.
26 - audio data dma (i.e. recording without loopback cable to the
27 sound card) should be possible, but there is no code yet ...
30 - Code present. Works for NTSC closed caption. PAL and other
31 TV norms may or may not work.
34 how to add support for new cards
35 ================================
37 The driver needs some config info for the TV cards. This stuff is in
38 cx88-cards.c. If the driver doesn't work well you likely need a new
39 entry for your card in that file. Check the kernel log (using dmesg)
40 to see whenever the driver knows your card or not. There is a line
43 cx8800[0]: subsystem: 0070:3400, board: Hauppauge WinTV \
44 34xxx models [card=1,autodetected]
46 If your card is listed as "board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC" it is unknown to
47 the driver. What to do then?
49 (1) Try upgrading to the latest snapshot, maybe it has been added
51 (2) You can try to create a new entry yourself, have a look at
52 cx88-cards.c. If that worked, mail me your changes as unified
54 (3) Or you can mail me the config information. I need at least the
55 following informations to add the card:
57 * the PCI Subsystem ID ("0070:3400" from the line above,
58 "lspci -v" output is fine too).
59 * the tuner type used by the card. You can try to find one by
60 trial-and-error using the tuner=<n> insmod option. If you
61 know which one the card has you can also have a look at the
62 list in CARDLIST.tuner
