Philips TDA10045

A DSP-based DVB-T Demodulator produced by Philips Semiconductors. Superceeded by the TDA10046.

Documentation is available only when signing an NDA. The Linux driver was written after analyzing the Windows driver and thus can't easily get better than the Windows driver.

Kernel Config

For 2.6.11 (?? could be less) and above go to:

-> Device Drivers
  -> Multimedia devices
     -> Video For Linux
       -> Digital Video Broadcasting Devices

Select

-> DVB For Linux (DVB)
  -> DVB Core Support (DVB_CORE)
    -> AV7110 cards
    -> Budget cards with onboard CI connector (DVB_BUDGET_CI)
    -> Customise DVB Frontends
      -> Philips TDA10045H/TDA10046H based (DVB_TDA1004X)

Requires a firmware to work. You need to run a script that comes with the kernel source (it downloads the windows driver and peels out the code). Then, each time the machine is booted, the firmware is loaded into the card to make it work. See the Firmware page for instructions.
