Pinnacle Systems PCTV 330e and Hauppauge WinTV HVR 900 (R2) not working under Debian 2.6.30-1

Hi all,

This is sort of an updated report, I tested my em28xx based hybrid devices again and the dvb-t still does not work under the 2.6.30 kernel. I am not interested in the analog parts. So how is the process going on getting support for dvb-t in the kernel. I am also not interested in any non free non mainstream maintained code bases.

I believe I sent some em28xx devices to Devin, so how is the process going, any luck?

Question for Antti if he had any luck with the devices (rtl2831-r2) I send?

Best regards,

Jelle de Jong

Hello Jelle,

Unfortunately, I could have told you without your having done any testing that the 330e and HVR-900 R2 are not any closer to working - nobody is working on them. They both use the Micronas drx-d, for which we have a reverse engineered driver that is not currently used in any devices and it is unknown whether it actually works. Devices attempting to use the driver require a config structure which has something like 27 inputs, so while I do have the HVR-900 R2 hardware I didn't feel comfortable attempting to get it to work without a signal generator.

Regarding the Terratec Cinergy T XS USB you sent me... there are two variants of the same device with the same USB ID. One has the zl10353 and the other has the mt352. I found one bug that was common to both, one bug in the zl10353 version, and one bug in the mt352. I issued a PULL request for the zl10353 version last Tuesday.

So, I've fixed three bugs and gotten the zl10353 version working. The mt352 version (which is the one you sent me) has the fixes above, but according to the one user who has been willing to test the changes, the device still does not work. I do not know whether this is really a bug in the driver or a problem in the user's environment (since he doesn't own any other tuners to verify his signal and antenna with). Contrary to my expectations, I haven't been been able to get access to the signal generator, so I haven't been able to fully test/debug the device myself.

If there are any other users out there with the mt352 version of the Terratec Cinergy T XS who can do testing, I would definitely be willing to work with them.

I am continuing to try to get access to a generator, and looking for other testers who can try the changes. I'm at a point now where I was debating just sending it back to you and having you see if it works (given the fixes I've already made), and attempting to debug any issues remotely.

as you know i have the xl10353 variant. and you got it to work on my machine.

now i know you don't want to hear this but the same code will not work on another machine. both are running 2.6.28-gentoo-r5, however i'm pretty sure the configurations are different. the working machine has an MSI KA780G MS-7551 [SB700 chipset] motherboard and the non-working machine has an ASUSTeK M3N78-EM [GeForce 8200 chipset] motherboard

in fact, i've seen reference on this list to the fact that there are problems with the SB700. that seems to be the opposite to me. i will check it out on an Atom based netbook and an old Intel Centrino laptop to see if the code works there. i suspect it will - but need to confirm it.

i'm afriad it is two steps forward and one step backwards --
simon

Well, that's better than one step forward and two steps backward. :-)

Send me the dmesg offline and I will work with you to try to debug the issue. I have some significant doubts this is an em28xx issue though.

Moi Jelle,

I have been busy with other drivers, but now I have time for this.

It was a little bit tricky to take sniffs from Windows because sniffer crashed very easily with this device :o But after testing about all drivers I found and after countless blue-screens I finally got one good sniff. From sniff I see this device is rather simple to program. And device you send have MT2060 tuner.

With a any luck and without other summer activities (I am still hoping warm weather and beach activities :) it will not take many days to get picture. After that I will move relevant parts from the current Ralink driver to the new driver... I will keep informed about driver status.

regards
Antti

Please note that the current (not split-up) driver was developed by the maker of the hardware. It is the same code that is used in the Windows driver.

As far as I have seen, there is only ONE callback from the tuner code to the demodulator. I forgot the name of the routine.

Cheers,
Jan
