[linux-dvb] Driver request/help - Yuan PG300 DVB-T

[Daniel Mons]

Some updated news from testing this evening:

card=19 gives me a black and white picture via S-Video (I'm struggling 
to remember if it noted it as "Composite 2" or "Composite 3" - I should 
have written it down...).

I googled about and found that card 43 seems to have roughly the same 
chips as mine.  So, with that in mind I did the following (no idea if 
I'm loading too many modules, but they seem to work OK together):

mythtv ~ # modprobe cx88xx card=43
mythtv ~ # modprobe cx88-dvb
mythtv ~ # modprobe cx22702
mythtv ~ # modprobe tuner
mythtv ~ # modprobe cx88-blackbird
mythtv ~ # dmesg

First test: tvtime.  Loaded it up, and it found 2 inputs: "DVB" and 
"S-Video".  S-Video now gives proper colour.  All good.

I then emerged (Gentoo's package manager) linuxtv-dvb-apps.  I also 
stole an "au-Brisbane" channel config file from a debian dvb-related 
.deb package (dvb-utils_1.1.1-1_i386.deb), as the Gentoo ones only have 
very limited support for Australia.

I used dvbscan to scan it and output that to ~/.mplayer/channels.conf, 
and fired up mplayer with the 'mplayer dvb://"Channel Name"' command.  
Lo and behold, I am now watching the world cup in all it's HD glory as I 
type this.

I should note that not all channels have audio.  I don't know if this is 
my setup, the card, or something else.  I'll have to take a good look at 
the messages mplayer spat out.  But "SBS HD" (the channel covering the 
world cup) has 48kHz audio (with a slight hiss - dunno if that's my 
setup or not).  That's all I need for the next 2 weeks at least. :)

Very happy so far.  I hope some of the above is useful to someone.  Now 
to figure out how to use LIRC...
