DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite

From MythTV

Jump to: navigation, search

This card is quite popular in Australia and operates well with MythTV. It is supported by stock kernels of 2.6.9 or later. Specifically, most of this information is based on 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5.

The command necessary to get the card to work is: 

   /sbin/modprobe dvb-bt8xx

This is a way to figure out the channels for your locality: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_search 

Mythtv Setup

You will need to setup the card as a dvb card under mythtv-setup. Libmythtv has to have probed the card and discovered it to be a dvico v2 (see below.) If that text isn't there then there is something wrong with the way the drivers loaded. Go back and figure out the problem before attempting to go any further. There is an analog button which contains the configuration information for the analog mode of the tuner. It is most likely /dev/video0 in the system unless there are other cards resident. Tthe guide below for adding the channels into your configuration is still being worked.

The settings in mythtv-setup-> General: 

      Type: ATSC

Capture Card Setup (Reminder: the ID and probed info need to be detected rather than entered) 

      Card type: DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)
      DVB Card Number: 0
      Frontend ID: DViCO v2 or Air2PC v3 or pcHDTV HD-5500 Subtype ...
Analog Options
      Video device: /dev/video
      Probed info: BT878 video (DViCO FusionHDTV 5 [bttv])
      VBI device: /dev/vbi
      Audio device: /dev/dsp
      Audio sampling rate: (None)    (unchecked) Do not adjust volume
      Default input: Television

Input connections: 

      [DVB]:0] (DVBInput) -> Digital
      ->[V4L:/dev/video0](Television)-> Analog
      ->[V4L:/dev/video0](Composite1)-> (None)
      ->[V4L:/dev/video0](S-Video)-> (None)

Then in mythtv-setup you will need to do a full scan and likely a full scan of existing transports. I'm not quite sure of the specific steps that need to be performed here. I've gotten one channel to work reliably but have problems with others. I think this part is highly dependent on the actual source.
