Ok, I was mainly interrested in adding the ntsc (analog) tuning. I think most if not all the ntsc channels left in our area are spanish, so not really interrested in watching them, more, in, I have the hardware, would be nice if it was usable. I have both these cards:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1800 http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DViCO_FusionHDTV7_Dual_Express

And I just noticed the second card is also listed as having analog tuning: http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/products/HDTV7DualExpress.aspx

But according to this link, only the 1800 has linux support for analog: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PCIe_Cards

With both cards in, I have 3 dvb adapters and all 3 have: demux0, dvr0, frontend0, net0

As anyone tried using the analogtv plugin with an HVR-1800 on vdr-1.7.12? And does it interfere with the atsc plugin since both would be using the same tuner? I've been told that analog mode does work with this card with tvtime, so I was thinking of giving it a try. The card is supposed to be able to tune both atsc and ntsc, plus it has video/audio inputs.

This is a hybrid tuner, right? Since the vdr and the analogtv doesn't coordinate their access on the device, I doubt it will work. Also it has build in a MPEG2 encoder, the right plugin would be pvrinput, but currently, the HVR-1800 is not supported. Recently I added support for the HD PVR, but I don't know how complicated it would be, to support the HVR-1800 as well. Especially because of the hybrid tuner. The two vdr devices "dvbdevice" and "pvrdevice" has to share the same hardware. There's no infrastructure for this at the moment...

I can't buy any more hardware for this and there isn't channels to justify it anyway. It's just that the card has the hardware and is listed as supported under linux. So, thought if it was just a plugin to get it going..

Hi Timothy,

I was in the same position as you and found an inexpensive pvr500 on eBay. It's a nice card, and more importantly, doesn't interfere with the ATSC cards I have.

I also now have a cable HD box connected up to it. PVRINPUT will change the channels on the box to the correct one and either select SVIDEO on the PVR500 or the HDPVR box and display it in HD.

At quick glance, it looks like there are quite a few Hauppauge PVR devices listed on eBay at the moment. Just make sure it's an NTSC one. The first two I got were PAL (even though sold from Detroit). The guy didn't realise, in the end I sent them to a friend in Hungary.
