Hi,

I'm trying to get the analog part of my HVR-1300 working. I have tried several different approaches without any luck so far. Right now I have the latest sources from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb compiled on a gentoo system with a 2.6.24-gentoo-r8 kernel (without v4l in kernel). The problem I have is that when using scantv to tune for channels the tuner does not seem to actually tune, or perhaps there is no video output on the v4l device node because scantv cannot find any channels. When I connect a video source on the s-video input and use xawtv I get a perfect picture from that input. Yes I have checked that the antenna is correctly connected (I use the same cable switching with another tv-card which is working). I'm using PAL B/G with western-europe frequency table, but have not so far tried the digital receiver since i don't yet have any proper antenna to use.

Anyone have any clue or tip?
I have followed some different instructions for how to get this card working, the latest I used was this:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Hauppauge_HVR_1300

Some info about my setup:

dmesg info when modprobing the cx8800 module:
(I have
install cx88xx modprobe tuner; modprobe --ignore-install cx88xx in my /etc/modprobe.conf to get the tuner loaded before the cx88xx)

#1 lore raw

An update:

I booted the system up today and modprobed tuner with debug=1 and cx88xx with audio_debug=1 ir_debug=1 and tried to scan for channels and this time everything worked just fine. Tried unloading the modules and reloading everything without debugging and it still works. I cannot really tell what is different this time from all my other attempts at this but anyway it seems to be working.

Now, is there any possibility to get the mpeg2-encoder working? I'm using the cx88-blackbird module but i'm not really sure if or what firmware I should be downloading to the card.

Hi Jonatan,

I'm quite successfully using this code here:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~rmcc/hvr-1300/

And additionally I have all the v4l modules unloaded and reloaded via rc.local to get the tuner up reliably.

Regards,
Jan

Ok, sounds nice. Right now I have the analog working but without the MPEG encoder. This will have to do for now because I'm just about to leave for a longer vacation trip, but when I get back I will definetely have a look at this again.

Thanks anyway
