Description Christian Jäger 2006-11-22 12:23:19 UTC

YaST installs the Twinhan DVB Ter PCI card with wrong kernel modules The correct modules seem the bttv - v4l/v4l2 driver and the dvb_bt8xx.

After choosing these kernel modules in YaST, the TV-tuner in YaST still doesn't find any channels - Kaffeine though doesn't have a problem finding them.

The card is also sold as HAMA DVB-T PCI.

My thanks to Schlumpfix from www.linux-club.de for finding this out!

Here it is, as requested.

Comment 4 Ladislav Slezák 2006-11-30 14:10:48 UTC

The log contains:

$["dvb":true, "module":["dvb-bt8xx", "cx22702", "dst"], "name":"Twinhan VisionPlus DVB-T", "parameter
s":$["cx22702":$[], "dst":$[], "dvb-bt8xx":$[]], "radio":false, "unique_key":"Ogcx.2Eaz8zE_JwC"]

So it seems that "dvb-bt8xx" is selected.

Please, attach /etc/modprobe.d/tv file (that's a configuration file created by the yast module) and attach 'hwinfo --dvb' and 'hwinfo --tv' output.

There was a bug (bad path to the scanning utility), see bug #214134 - could you try RC2 version?

Comment 5 Christian Jäger 2006-11-30 16:45:49 UTC

RC2? Does this equal RC1 after updating the kernel etc.?

Unfortunately I ruined my system (NTFS-support gone, soundcard gone etc.)  twice and reinstalled once meanwhile, by testing-out another bug. It's become a bit messy. I hope to do another clean install tonight and will report back tomorrow Thanks for your work!

Comment 6 Ladislav Slezák 2006-12-01 06:40:59 UTC

The yast module is same in RC2 and RC1. I don't know whether there was any change which could be related to the TV card in the kernel (probably not). You can test RC1 as well, that's OK.

Comment 7 Christian Jäger 2006-12-01 16:57:09 UTC

Set up a fresh system, installed the yast-tv update.

The original bt878 driver must be replaced with the dvb_bt8xx driver for the TV card to work. Channel scanning in YaST still doesn't work though - strangely my webcam gets queried when trying.

Also, although channel search is _supposed_ to happen automatically, one has to prompt it manually in order for some package to be installed - the name of which I sadly didn't catch this time.

Comment 11 Christian Jäger 2007-02-09 18:15:22 UTC

What info do you need - I'd be happy to help if this helps getting the TV card supported out of the box.

Comment 12 Ladislav Slezák 2007-06-06 09:33:39 UTC

Fixed in yast2-tv-2.15.6 (will be included in 10.3 Aplha5). The card should work out of the box now.

Comment 13 Christian Jäger 2007-06-10 12:30:59 UTC

Thank you, this is good news.
