HVR-3000 mythtv Linux 2.6.29+ kernel help?

Hi,

(Apologies for double post, if you have been in geekzone forums)

I have a new tuner card (HVR-3000) which is an upgrade from the simple
HVR-150. I'm planning on installing using DVB-S input for Freeview
(from sky dish) as well as the Sky into the analog input.

The card appears to be recognised as it shows up correctly in mythtv-
setup and dmesg looks happy too. I upgraded my kernel specifically, as
it is supposed to support this chipset.

I can't seem to get any signal from the analogue input. In fact when I
scanned the DVB-S input I didn't have much luck either. I tried
kaffeine and using either scandvb or dvbscan or something from the cli
too.

Has anyone got this working without patches in Linux?

Cheers,
Julius.

Hi Jason,

I'm just upgrading from a PVR-150 (typo of HVR in last email). I only
have one PCI slot hence the HVR-3000.

Cheers,
Julius.

Re: HVR-3000 mythtv Linux 2.6.29+ kernel help? [In reply to]

Hi all,

Isn't it always the way...

Well I got the analog going last night. I think the trick was to scan
for channels even though I don't use them as such as I just record
everything from the Sky analog output.

Now to get the DVB-S going. Does anyone have a kaffeine config file
for the Optus satellite? I modified one (shown below), but I'm not
sure if it's right:

# Optus D1 satellite 160E
# freq pol sr fec
S 12331000 H 22500000 2/3
S 12358000 H 22500000 2/3
S 12456000 H 22500000 2/3
S 12483000 H 22500000 3/4

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Julius.

Are any of them low profile? I need a replacement for my camera input.

I have one of these cards in my own mythbox, up until the move of Prime onto
satellite, it was being used for its analog inputs. (I have two Skystar2
cards as well) I managed at one point to get Kaffeine to show the DVB-T
signals, but ran into trouble working out how it switches between modes
(analogue, DVBS, DVBT, ) and am now mainly interested in whether I can get
the terrestrial high def signals sorted with it in myth.

I will be keen to watch for your progress.

Hi Barry,

I got the DVBS going last night. I have found the sound from the analog
to be a bit fuzzy and the aspect ratio isn't right either. The DVBS
works perfectly. It seems to have picked up multiple TV ONE, TV2 etc so
I'm not sure how that's all going to pan out. Maybe I'll just remove
them from the channel list...

To scan the channels I downloaded a dvb tool for tuning I think. I'll
try post back how I did it. I had to compile it as I couldn't find a
suitable RPM. I did that just to prove the concept. Then it worked out
in mythtv-setup.

Cheers,
Julius.
