1 How to get the bt8xx cards working
2 ==================================
7 This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver
8 for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
9 Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge:
11 Compiling kernel please enable:
12 a.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
13 b.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
14 => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Bt8xx based PCI Cards"
19 In default cases bttv is loaded automatically.
20 To load the backend either place dvb-bt8xx in etc/modules, or apply manually:
24 All frontends will be loaded automatically.
25 People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt.
27 In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary:
29 2a) Running TwinHan and Clones
30 ------------------------------
32 $ modprobe bttv card=113
36 Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module:
38 verbose=0: messages are disabled
39 1: only error messages are displayed
40 2: notifications are displayed
41 3: other useful messages are displayed
43 dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only
44 0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels
46 The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string".
47 In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI].
48 For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated.
49 Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.
51 2b) Running multiple cards
52 --------------------------
54 Examples of card ID's:
57 Nebula Electronics Digi TV: 104
58 pcHDTV HD-2000 TV: 112
59 Twinhan DST and clones: 113
60 Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 771: 123
61 Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761: 124
62 DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite: 128
63 DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite: 135
65 Notice: The order of the card ID should be uprising:
67 $ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
70 For a full list of card ID's please see Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv.
