DNTV Dual Hybrid (7164) PCIe

Hi Kernellabs,

I'm thinking of getting this:
http://forums.dvbowners.com/index.php?showtopic=11720
It seems very similar to the HVR-2200 yet has component-in.
Do you reckon your module/s might support it?

Thank-you!
Jed

Highly likely the drivers will not support it. Each card has unique firmware 
identifiers that need to be added manually to the driver.

If you'd like to provide me a card then I'd consider adding support.

Happy to do this, so long as I can get it back eventually?

Assuming you want me to continue supporting that product then I generally keep 
hold of the hardware indefinitely, else 2-3 driver patches from now your card 
will no longer be regression tested and could stop working.

Actually I'd be happy to donate...
So long as I knew there'd be some progress on the analogue side.
Already got the HVR-2200 for DVB.

By "analogue side" I mainly mean A/V-in
Thank-you/Good night

Judging by the silence I'm guessing that's a "negative"  ;-)

I actually had a closer read of this...
http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?p=1339

So even if I donated a card I guess that's not going to compensate you
nearly enough to get analogue a/v-in at least partially working?!

So it seems I went for a "bells & whistles" card which will probably
never be fully supported. I seem to recall having the same experience
with a prior card, I wonder if I'll ever learn!

Are there any tuners with similar raw analogue capture/encoding
abilities (ideally component) that you do support more completely or
intend to?

Or should I be looking at dedicated video capture devices for better
linux-media support?

Thank-you

DNTV Dual Hybrid (7164) PCIe

[Martin Brown]

I'm trying to get a driver working for this card under Ubuntu Lucid (10.04).

I believe the card is based on the SAA7164 so I'm trying the kernellabs 
driver.

Results of modprobe saa7164 are:

/etc/modprobe.d/options.conf contains:
options saa7164 card=4


kernel: [ 159.091047] saa7164 driver loaded
kernel: [ 159.091102] saa7164 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, 
low) -> IRQ 18
kernel: [ 159.091974] CORE saa7164[0]: subsystem: 107d:6f2c, board: 
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200 [card=4,insmod option]
kernel: [ 159.091980] saa7164[0]/0: found at 0000:04:00.0, rev: 129, 
irq: 18, latency: 0, mmio: 0x93000000
kernel: [ 159.135163] tveeprom 0-0000: Encountered bad packet header 
[00]. Corrupt or not a Hauppauge eeprom.
kernel: [ 159.135168] saa7164[0]: Hauppauge eeprom: model=0

That's it. Nothing more. No /dev/dvb/adpator... created.

When /etc/modprobe.conf has:
options saa7164 card=5 I get:

kernel: [ 547.123384] saa7164 driver loaded
kernel: [ 547.123435] saa7164 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level,

kernel: [ 547.469221] DVB: registering new adapter (saa7164)
kernel: [ 547.469226] DVB: registering adapter 2 frontend 0 (NXP 
TDA10048HN DVB-T)...

But only one /dev/dvb/adaptor created instead of 2 and I suspect the 
tveeprom error is fatal.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Martin

Read the topmost note of:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers

Is your device in any way related to those two iterations of the
Hauppauge HVR-2200 model?
