The HD-2000 is well supported under Linux (added to kernel 2.6.12).
Overview/Features
This was the first product that pcHDTV brought to market. It's production has long since stopped, and has been superseded by a newer pcHDTV product twice over. While the HD-2000 was produced locally in Utah, USA, the later pcHDTV cards are now manufactured offshore.
Has dual RF inputs. Its a 5v PCI card. It has LEDs on the PCI riser that indicate device status, signal lock and errors.
As an aside, although they differ in board design and layout, the HD-2000 card shares the same functional components as the first version of the DViCO FusionHDTV II card.
Components Used
- Philips Module
- ? (tuner)
- ? (analog IF demodulator)
- Oren or51211 (digital demodulator)
- Conexant Fusion 878A (A/V decoder & PCI bridge)
Identification
The output of lspci -vn will reveal that the card has a subsystem PCI ID of 7063:2000
Making it Work
Firmware
This card requires a firmware file (dvb-fe-or51211.fw) for the demodulator. This file 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 or51211
- or from the pcHDTV downloads page
Whatever method you choose (you'll get the same file regardless of the source), once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware file in your /lib/firmware directory. (This directory may differ with some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location).
Drivers
Just use the in-kernel drivers (any kernel >2.6.12 should have the drivers included and thereby provide native support for the card), or compile your own by following the How to install DVB device drivers instructions.
