Talk:DViCO FusionHDTV7 Dual Express

--Cybernard 18:20, 29 December 2008 (CET) User cybernard reports: Using OpenSuSE 11.0 and 11.1 kernel 2.6.27.7-9 I placed the firmware in /lib/firmware, the same location as the ATI HDTV Wonder firmware. I tried to get thd HDTV over the air 8-VSB, I believe, but it doesn't tune. Signal strength is almost always 0 despite being hooked the same antenna as a ATI HDTV Wonder which works just fine. Mythtv see the card, but can't find any channels.

femon -a 0 reports only "S" under status and the ATI HDTV Wonder status says "SCVYL"

Sometimes, not often, signal strength is 007d compare to fcd0 for ATI. However, 007d is the signal strength that the windows driver reports, but id decimal form of 125. This could simply be a scaling issue and multipling it by 256 may or may not help, but would bring the signal strength up to usable values since 125 to 127 offer perfect reception within windows.

Further more something is trying to load mt352 which results in: mt352_read_register: readreg error (reg=127, ret==-6) Also trying to load zl10353 resulting in: zl10353_read_register: readreg error (reg=127, ret==-6)

Whoops!! Above my fault I told yast2 tv that I had a card instead of autodetecting. I deleted wrong enteries any above went away.

Using Kernel 2.6.28.1 the card pretty much works, but still get below sometimes.

You should report this on the mailing list--CityK 02:49, 19 January 2009 (CET)
