Using Mandriva 2009.1 with HVR connected directly to analog cable. Using 32-bit kernel 2.6.29.3-desktop-1.mnb.

TVtime and xawTV both open but display only snow. Channel scanning yields nothing.

If I boot into Vista and load MediaCenter, open liveTV and watch a channel. Then close MediaCenter, exit Vista and boot into linux, TVtime and xawTV (if I am lucky) might open-up and perfectly display the TV channel that I was last viewing in Vista, but will not change channels to another station no matter what I do.

Please see the following outputs below. I would appreciate any suggestions to resolve this. Not having hardware problems since WinVista's media center works perfectly with this hardware.

Thanks
George

Make sure that the 'tuner' module and the 'cx25840' modules are both loaded.

Make sure that you're using the lower spigot (if you have 2 spigots) or the middle spigot (if you have 3 spigots)

BTW, your email is off-topic for the linux-dvb mailing list. I added cc to the linux-media mailing list, which is more appropriate for your analog television problem.

Regards,

Mike

To clarify Mike's point, he means there is a module called "tuner" that you should see in the lsmod. Also, when he refers to spigots, he is referring to the F-connectors on the edge card that you would connect the coax cable to.

Devin, thanks for the reply.

Lsmod showed that "tuner" was NOT loaded (wonder why?), a "modprobe tuner" took care of that and now the HVR-1800 is displaying video perfectly and the tuning function works. I guess that I'll have to add "tuner" into modprobe.preload.d???? Now if only I can get the sound functioning along with the video!

Admittedly, I don't know why you would have to load the tuner module manually on the HVR-1800. I haven't had to do this on other products?

If you are doing raw video capture, then you need to manually tell applications where to find the ALSA device that provides the audio. If you're capturing via the MPEG encoder, then the audio will be embedded in the stream.

Well a shutdown and restart reveals that "tuner" is not being loaded automagically, so I'll have to go the modprobe.preload.d route.

I found a cx88_alsa driver listed, but I'm not sure how to go about getting the system to use it. I'll have to do some more research into this audio issue because it's way over my head.

I don't understand why the audio/mpeg ports of the HVR-1800 don't show up in output of lspci:

When you have tvtime open and running with video working already, do:

mplayer /dev/video1

(assuming that tvtime is open on video0)

Then, you'll get mplayer complete with both audio and video.

1. I had disabled pulse audio and only had alsa loaded, so I guess that the pulse audio error is normal here.

2. As soon as mplayer loaded, I was getting audio for the channel that TVtime was displaying, but the video screens in both the TVtime and mplayer screens was so corrupted and distorted that it was not viewable. The video corruption is only solved by a reboot.

3. I then enabled pulse audio, rebooted, and re-ran TVtime and mplayer:

*****************

1. As soon as mplayer loaded, I was getting audio for the channel that TVtime was displaying, but this time video screens in TVtime became so corrupted and distorted that it was not viewable, but no video displayed in the mplayer screen (it remained black) and mplayer aborted after 10 or so seconds.

2. Why does the loading of mplayer corrupt the video????

*****************

I then tried redirecting the audio using sox (using a procedure found on another wikki) and got the following result:

$ sox -c 2 -s -r 44100 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp -r 44100 /dev/dsp
sox formats: can't open input file `/dev/dsp1': No such file or directory

So I then did:

$ ls /dev/dsp*                                                  
/dev/dsp

...and then:

$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xf9af4000 irq 22

*****************

It still astounds me that linux is not detecting the audio portion of this HVR-1800 as an audio device. Is this a kernel issue?
