[linux-dvb] Re: NOVA-t remote control

[John Knottenbelt <jak97@doc.ic.ac.uk>]

The IR chip is most likely an MSP430, which is exactly what is used on the 
budget-ci. Does your card look like this?

As far as I can tell, the 2.6.0 drivers do not directly support remote control 
for your Nova-T. I tried to activate the code in the budget-ci but 
unfortunately I didn't know enough about how the whole system fits together, 
so I failed 
[ http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@linuxtv.org/msg11156.html ].

However, it is possible to apply the Jack Thomasson's patch to the DVB drivers 
for the 2.4 series.

But you will need to hack the "attach" code so that it works even though you 
don't have a "CI" card. You will then have an additionaly /dev/input/eventX 
device which corresponds to the MSP 430 IR receiver.
