Does anyone have any information on the support status of this card? Or perhaps any hints I might try to get it working?

I have built and installed the latest V4L-DVB kernel driver modules, but no luck.

I noticed windows installs Philips 3xhybrid drivers if this helps...

You could try using the "card=" option when loading the kernel module and use the cardnumber of a similar supported saa7134 dvb card. you can find a complete list of supported card saa713 dvb cards in "Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134".

Hi
You could try using the "card=" option when loading the kernel module and use the cardnumber of a similar supported saa7134 dvb card. you can find a complete list of supported card saa713 dvb cards in "Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134".

that might become a very frustrating experience and it is also not without some danger. At least you might get the card in a not further responding state and you might need a cold boot in between.

Minimum further to know is the type of the digital demodulator these days!

If it is for example a tda10048, there are currently only two cards to test on for DVB-T, but likely with slightly different hardware configuration.

You also need to know if it needs firmware and which one.

The saa7134 insmod option "i2c_scan=1" should be used to see if at least all chips are visible. You might need special gpio switching else to get them out of some power saving state.

You also don't know if you need gate control enabled of the tda8290 analog IF demod built into the saa7131e to initialize and further program the tuner.

Tuner, digital demod and analog demod can be on four different i2c addresses each. For dvb-t you need to know and set each of those addresses correctly. It makes no sense to try on cards having this not all the same.

The eeprom, if it is correct on this, says tuner at 0x60, analog demod at 0x4b and digital demod at 0x08 in seven bit notation. The tuner at 0x60 is rather rare, if you look into saa7134-dvb.c. Makes no sense to test on other cards.

Then we always want to have the antenna inputs reported. What shares with what an input and what is on a separate one?
Only this way you can _eventually_ find a card with the same switching there and also correct FM switch.

Next, most recent cards do have an additional RF LNA and there are different types. All must be correctly set up for analog and digital mode or you will have some unpleasant experiences. Seems there is no way for us currently to know, if there is one at all or which type of configuration it does need.

You must also know or find out, if the card uses serial or parallel TS interface.

Even if you succeed with all the above, and that is possible by working through step by step, especially with a tda10048 you might need a card specific configuration not yet covered by other cards.

Blindly testing on cards without knowing on what you are testing exactly, unlikely has good results on recent hybrid cards.

First of all you must know the type of digital demod on that card too. The fuzzy picture I found seems to say it has only 48 pins ...

Always recommend to read further on the wiki about how to provide a good report for new hardware.

Cheers,
Hermann

Hi,

I did do some blind testing with the card= option, but the only one that looked promising was card=112 [ASUSTeK P7131 Hybrid]. But dmesg reported 'tda10046: chip is not answering. Giving up'

I have created a page for the card which can be found here:

Hi
You could try using the "card=" option when loading the kernel module and use the cardnumber of a similar supported saa7134 dvb card. you can find a complete list of supported card saa713 dvb cards in "Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134".
that might become a very frustrating experience and it is also not without some danger. At least you might get the card in a not further responding state and you might need a cold boot in between.
Minimum further to know is the type of the digital demodulator these days!
If it is for example a tda10048, there are currently only two cards to test on for DVB-T, but likely with slightly different hardware configuration.
You also need to know if it needs firmware and which one.
The saa7134 insmod option "i2c_scan=1" should be used to see if at least all chips are visible. You might need special gpio switching else to get them out of some power saving state.
You also don't know if you need gate control enabled of the tda8290 analog IF demod built into the saa7131e to initialize and further program the tuner.
Tuner, digital demod and analog demod can be on four different i2c addresses each. For dvb-t you need to know and set each of those addresses correctly. It makes no sense to try on cards having this not all the same.
The eeprom, if it is correct on this, says tuner at 0x60, analog demod at 0x4b and digital demod at 0x08 in seven bit notation. The tuner at 0x60 is rather rare, if you look into saa7134-dvb.c. Makes no sense to test on other cards.
Then we always want to have the antenna inputs reported. What shares with what an input and what is on a separate one?
Only this way you can _eventually_ find a card with the same switching there and also correct FM switch.
Next, most recent cards do have an additional RF LNA and there are different types. All must be correctly set up for analog and digital mode or you will have some unpleasant experiences. Seems there is no way for us currently to know, if there is one at all or which type of configuration it does need.
You must also know or find out, if the card uses serial or parallel TS interface.
Even if you succeed with all the above, and that is possible by working through step by step, especially with a tda10048 you might need a card specific configuration not yet covered by other cards.
Blindly testing on cards without knowing on what you are testing exactly, unlikely has good results on recent hybrid cards.

First of all you must know the type of digital demod on that card too. The fuzzy picture I found seems to say it has only 48 pins ...
Always recommend to read further on the wiki about how to provide a good report for new hardware.
Cheers,
Hermann

Hi,
I did do some blind testing with the card= option, but the only one that looked promising was card=112 [ASUSTeK P7131 Hybrid]. But dmesg reported 'tda10046: chip is not answering. Giving up'

that is what i meant. If you look closer you will find a tda10048 on your board and we have just these two cards for now.

The HVR 1110r3 (card=156) in TS serial mode and LNA, specific gpios are in use, and the Leadtek DTV 1000S Mike has a testing repo for now in TS parallel, but without analog tuner support. At least no analog demod in the eeprom.

Have a look at the related threads.
Hauppauge HVR 1110 and DVB
Leadtek Winfast DTV-1000S

Both have links to firmware either from Steven or Terry.

Maybe you can get it to load, but the other questions are still unanswered then.

Cheers,
Hermann

no luck.
I noticed windows installs Philips 3xhybrid drivers if this helps...
