Hello - first time poster here. I'm running Ubuntu Hardy, stock kernel
2.6.24-19-generic. Compiled the v4l tree from repository and installed the
modules. Also grabbed firmware found on the dvb-wiki page Analog tuning
works. Trying to run dvbscan or scan results in either no channels found or
a hang on the attempt to tune the first channel.
Output of dmesg contains errors like this:
[ 576.298553] i2c-adapter i2c-2: sendbytes: error - bailout.
[ 577.098249] xc5000: I2C write failed (len=4)

Here's the relevant lspci -vvnn output for the card:

I've got Time Warner cable, so I'm trying to pick up the QAM stations. So
far no luck. If anyone can shed any light, it would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Installed in the windows machine, and got the drivers installed successfully, but the player software that comes with the card requires windows xp, and the newest version of windows I have is 2000. I know analog capture is pretty well supported in windows by things like virtualdub and media player classic, but do you know of any apps I can use to test the HD functionality? While I had the card out, got the following from visual inspection: Printed on the PCB: pctv 800i rev 1.1 There were two large visible chips on the card: Samsung C649 S5H1409X01-T0 N079X Conexant Broadcast Decoder CX23883-39 72013496 0729 Korea I imagine the tuner chip is hidden under the metal box (shielding?).

One of the windows drivers is refusing to load properly. I don't know if the signifies a bad card or just that the driver doesn't work on anything less than xp. I don't have any way to test at the moment. I'm happy to try anything you want in the way of diagnosis under linux though.

I don't think anyone else is reporting i2c issues on that board, so it's possible you just have a bad unit. It goes without saying, try to bring up the baord on a supported windows platform to verify it... or perhaps take it to a neighbours house a wreck his xp install ;) If you get to the point of it working in windows but not on Linux then we'll be able to make progress. - Steve _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I saw similar i2c error messages back when we were trying to add support for the card (I never posted on the list about it because that happened when I was fiddling with the code). I do not remember the specifics, but it went away later on as the code matured. It might have something to do with multiple instances of the driver being attached to the xc5000, but we certainly cannot rule out the possibility of a bad unit. > > It goes without saying, try to bring up the baord on a supported windows > platform to verify it... or perhaps take it to a neighbours house a > wreck his xp install ;) > > If you get to the point of it working in windows but not on Linux then > we'll be able to make progress. > > - Steve > -- Chaogui Zhang _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

My brother has an xp box, so maybe I can convince him to let me stick it in there. I probably will not have time to do that for a little while though - I'll get back to you when I have something one way or another. James P.S. Sorry about the double send Chaogui.
