-This class of cards has a bt878a chip as the PCI interface.

-The different card drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means

-===============================================
|
|
|
+2) Loading Modules
|
|
|
+==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
|
|
|
-i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver,
|
|
|
-which is called the backend.
|
|
|
-The frontends for Nebula DigiTV (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV Sat (cx24110),
|
|
|
-TwinHan DST + clones (dst and dst-ca) are loaded automatically by the backend.
|
|
|
-For further details about TwinHan DST + clones see /Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.

|
|
|
|
-3a) The manual approach
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
+3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV
|
|
|
+--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Loading modules:
|
|
|
-modprobe bttv
|
|
|
-modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
|
+ $ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)
|
|
|
+ $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Unloading modules:
|
|
|
-modprobe -r dvb-bt8xx
|
|
|
-modprobe -r bttv
|
|
|
|
|
|
-3b) The automatic approach
|
|
|
+3b) TwinHan and Clones
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
-If not already done by installation, place a line either in
|
|
|
-/etc/modules.conf or in /etc/modprobe.conf containing this text:
|
|
|
-alias char-major-81 bttv
|
|
|
+ $ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
|
|
|
+ $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
|
+ $ modprobe dst
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx,
|
|
|
+which is necessary for TwinHan cards.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks
|
|
|
+your machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the
|
|
|
+mailing list.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+verbose takes values 0 to 4. These values control the verbosity level,
|
|
|
+and can be used to debug also.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+verbose=0 means complete disabling of messages
|
|
|
+ 1 only error messages are displayed
|
|
|
+ 2 notifications are also displayed
|
|
|
+ 3 informational messages are also displayed
|
|
|
+ 4 debug setting
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+dst_addons takes values 0 and 0x20. A value of 0 means it is a FTA card.
|
|
|
+0x20 means it has a Conditional Access slot.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The autodected values are determined bythe cards 'response
|
|
|
+string' which you can see in your logs e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Then place a line in /etc/modules containing this text:
|
|
|
-dvb-bt8xx
|
|
|
+dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DSTMCI]
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Reboot your system and have fun!
