The DVB-T part of this card is managable to get to work.
For DVB-T a special option for the module cx88xx is needed:

Testsystem:
openSuSE 10.2

Kernel: 2.6.18.2-34-default

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+

Check out the Modul drivers from Steven Toth for HVR 3000. (You may also try the HVR 4000 or the multiproto repository.)

Special option for cx88xx needed:
card=56
card=56


The card is automatically detected as card 57. Therefore, using OpenSuSE (and probably also other distros) add the line
53 did not work for the HVR-3000 repo (probably use 53 or 54 with the multiproto repo).

Add the line

"cx88xx" => "card=56",

in scripts/rmmod.pl.

Unknown which module it actually uses, so load all with

Then a device will be created in /dev/dvb...

Using DVB device 0:0 "Conexant CX22702 DVB-T"

For DVB-S/S2 there is an experimental drivers repository from Steven Toth (see http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/hvr4000). Analog video and remote control works also work with this driver.

Currently, no support for simultaneous operation of both DVB-T and DVB-S is implemented. Default operation mode preferes DVB-S.

DVB-T

For DVB-T a special option for the module cx88xx is needed: card=56

The card is automatically detected as card 57. Therefore, using OpenSuSE (and probably also other distros) add the line

options cx88xx card=56

in /etc/modprobe.conf.local (or /etc/conf.modules or similar).
