- How to get the Nebula Electronics DigiTV, Pinnacle PCTV Sat, Twinhan DST + clones working
- =========================================================================================
- 1) General information
- ======================
- This class of cards has a bt878a chip as the PCI interface.
- The different card drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means
- to access the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
- 2) Compilation rules for Kernel >= 2.6.12
- =========================================
- Enable the following options:
- "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
- => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
- "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
- => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "BT8xx based PCI cards"
- 3) Loading Modules, described by two approaches
- ===============================================
- 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
- -----------------------
- Loading modules:
- modprobe bttv
- modprobe dvb-bt8xx
- Unloading modules:
- modprobe -r dvb-bt8xx
- modprobe -r bttv
- 3b) The automatic approach
- --------------------------
- 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
- Then place a line in /etc/modules containing this text:
- dvb-bt8xx
- Reboot your system and have fun!
