Hi.
I've just acquired an AverMedia DVB-T and am keen
to get this going under Linux. There appears to be preliminary driver support in
dvb-kernel (at least the basic components appear to be there).
It appears to be a budget card with a bt878 bridge
and a tuner. It's not entirely clear from the card at least what the tuner
is.
I have managed to get it cranked up under windows
OK - so at least I know the card works.
I have followed instructions in the DVB/build-2.4
directory README's
Should this card behave in a similar way to other
bt878 based cards, i.e. expose a /dev/video device?
I have also tried to compile the DVB driver and
vdr. Both seem to compile up OK, but the /dev/dvb/adaptor<x>/ etc...
devices don't seem to want to play ball. Hnch tells me this is perhaps not the
right path to follow.
I tried using xawtv but unfortunately it hangs the
whole box.
I am using source 2.4.21 kernel with pre-emptive
and scheduling capabilities patches.
If anyone has a suggestion as to the direction to
look in to get this card going under Linux I would be most
grateful.
regards,
Mark
