pcHDTV HD-3000
The pcHDTV HD-3000 is an ATSC PCI card, and is well supported under Linux (added to kernel 2.6.12). This was the second ATSC card brought to market by pcHDTV. It is no longer in production and has been superseded by pcHDTV's HD-5500.
lspci -vn will reveal that the card has a subsystem PCI ID of 7063:3000
Firmware
This card requires a firmware file (dvb-fe-or51132-vsb.fw and/or dvb-fe-or51132-qam.fw) for the demodulator. You only need both if you wish to allow the driver access to both modes (8-VSB and 64/256-QAM) of operation (the driver will upload the appropriate firmware to the card as needed). These files can be obtained several different ways:
- from the LinuxTV downloads section
- using the get_dvb_firmware perl script included with kernel sources:
# cd /[kernel source directory]/Documentation/dvb/ # perl get_dvb_firmware or5132_qam # perl get_dvb_firmware or5132_vsb
- or from the [pcHDTV downloads page]
Whatever method you choose (you'll get the same files regardless of the source), once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware files in your /lib/firmware directory. (This directory may differ with some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location).
