The pcHDTV HD-2000 is an ATSC PCI card, and is well supported under Linux (added to kernel 2.6.12). 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 It's production has long since stopped, and has been superseded by a newer pcHDTV product twice over.
Its a 5v PCI card. It has LEDs on the PCI riser that indicate device status, signal lock and errors.
lspci -vn will reveal that the card has a subsystem PCI ID of 7063:2000
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).
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.
