[linux-dvb] Leadtek Winfast PxDVR 3200 H

[Mark Carbonaro]

Hi all,

I have a Leadtek Winfast PxDVR 3200 H and I would like to assist in
getting this card working, I bought the card knowing it wouldn't work
but on the hope that it may help getting it supported.  Unfortunately
I don't have any programming skills that would help (I haven't touched
C in around 12 years) but if I can be of any use getting information
out of the card, testing patches or just hitting the card with a
hammer please let me know.  I have added some additional information
into the wiki (just some lspci info).

Regards,
Mark

[linux-dvb] Leadtek Winfast PxDVR 3200 H

[Jonathan Hummel]


        Hi,
        
        I was wondering if anyone could help me get this card up and
        working in
        kubuntu 8.04. I've tried setting it up much like a Leadtek
        DTV2000H,
        version J, as per instructions here:
        http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Leadtek_DTV2000H
        (I've been using that card for a while in another box)
        
        System:
        Gibagyte moher board (all in one) GA-MA78GM-S2H
        AMD Athlon X2 6000 (2 core, 3GHz)
        4G ram, heaps of hard disk
        64bit KDE 4 kubuntu, kernel: 2.6.24-20 generic
        
        http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_PCIe_Cards
        suggested I email this address.
        
        
        cheers
        
        Jon

Jon,

It appears that this card uses the CX23885 PCIe controller.

>From initial research on the Leadtek site it appears that this card
utilises the following main chips:
Conexant CX23885 - PCIe Interface
Conexant CX23417 - Analog Video to MPEG2 Encoder
Intel CE6353 - Digital TV Demodulator (Formerly known as Zarlink 10353)
Xceive ????? - Digital TV Tuner,

All of the above that I have identified have drivers in linux in various
stages of development.

Can you take a high res photo of the card showing all chip IDs?
Can you identify which tuner from Xceive it is?
Do you have a partition set up with windows and the card working?
If so can you use regspy (Google "Dscaler Regspy" to find the correct
program), and record what the values are for:
- Card sitting idle straight after bootup
- Watching Digital TV
- Watching Analog TV
- Sitting idle after watching TV

What is the output of `lspci -vnn` when in linux regarding this card?

What does `dmesg | grep cx23885` give you?

It might also be useful for others who have this card if you make an
entry the linuxtv wiki for this card, with all of the information that I
have requested linked to or included.

I may be able to knock up a driver that you can use for the digital TV
side as this seems similar to other existing cards, I'm not familiar with
the Analog side though.
(No gurantees, but it should be relatively simple to achieve).

Regards,

Stephen.

Hi Stephen

There was already a page of sorts:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek_Winfast_PxDVR_3200_H
I've added to it. I don't have winodws on that machine, but it apears
someone has done that for me already.
I have some more photos, of even higher res is you want them, but won't
clutter up everyone's inbox if not need/ wanted.

Cheers

Jon

 Jon,

Your email got my interest.  I was looking for a card with those specs
here in Australia, so I went and bought one... (However, thankyou for
your photo)

I was unable to get RegSpy to work with this card in windows for some
reason, so I was unable to verify those results.

So far I have only spend an hour or so working on a driver, I have worked
out the tuner and demod i2c addresses. However I need to work out how it
selects analog or digital mode and gets the video. So in other words the
easy bits are done but nothing is working yet...

When I get a working driver done, I will let you (and the mailing list)
know. 

Anybody can provide any guidance it would be useful.

Regards,
Stephen.

Hi Jon,

I just added some photos to the wiki that I took of my 3200 about a month ago, it's just some close ups of the chips.  I forgot all about them until you posted this message, figured I should probably pull my finger out and upload them.

I haven't taken the shielding off the card, I can only assume there is a tuner in there, I will crack it open on of these days and take note (and photos) of what is inside.

 Mark,

Don't worry about opening the shielded area, I have opened mine enough to
read the details on the chip, but not enough to take a photo easily.

The chip in it is exactly the same as my DViCO Dual Express, with the
same components around it, so the settings I have used for that should
work with this one.

Regards,

Stephen.
