Tim,
The support that I added in was for a the DViCO DVB-T Dual Express, not

Tim,
Can you take a high resolution photo of the card and create a wiki page
with this card?

Also provide a list of the chips (as on the card), for example cx23885.
I mainly want to now

the demodulators that are in use on the card as the driver has two
possible paths in the code

depending on which demodulator is installed. Which one is it: S5H1411 or
S5H1409 or something

else? From the low resolution photos on the DViCO site there should be

roughly in the middle of the card side by side.
It doesnt matter -- I have both versions of this board, the 1409 and the 1411 version.
The boards are identical, other than the newer demodulator.
Both boards are supported. Both frontend paths are supported.
You need to use the v4l-dvb mercurial *tip* for full support. Older revisions will only support one tuner.
You also need the xc5000 firmware placed into the correct location (usually
/lib/firmware)I added support for these boards and they are both running fine in my mythtv-backend for digital atsc and qam recordings.

Tim,
Since Mike has these cards I let him help you out, sorry if I have
confused you.
Quoted 2 lines
I have just checked the package that i referenced as well and it is indeed
missing the proper support required for your card.
Stephen,
Feel free to continue helping him -- I just stated the facts ... There is no need for any photos or any kind of research in order to support this board -- I already have been there and done that -- it's already fully supported.
--EXCEPT for analog.
He needs to use hg tip if he wants digital to work.
...meanwhile, he needs analog, because he's using some internal analog video network. I think he's screwed. Sorry, tim.
If you want to use the board to receive ATSC digital television from the air, or Clear QAM Annex-B digital cable, then you're golden.

Is there any reason why analog cannot be supported? The website for the card says that it supports analog. I know this means that someone needs to write the drivers, but it might not be that difficult to update the driver from another dvico card where analog works. I could just do the digital over the air signal and record the locals for now (which are actually the most important ones for me), but I'm sure others would want this support. I bought this card with the intention of upgrading my cable service when I move, I'm only going to be living here for 11 more months. My intent was to get a dvr running while I had this free non-upgradeable cable service.
Tim,
Please, do NOT top-post. This is the policy of this mailing list.
I did not say that analog can not be supported. I said that analog IS not supported.
If somebody gets analog working, I'm sure that everybody will be happy about it. I'd like to see analog working on the cx23885 cards, too.
