[linux-dvb] Recommended repository for Dvico Dual Digital 4 rev1

[Bonne Eggleston]

Hi all,
I have a working Dvico Dual Digital 4 rev1 using some older drivers
(from http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pascoe/xc-test/).
I'm looking to upgrade my kernel from 2.6.18 to 2.6.25 or 26 and
thought I should get the most up to date dvb driver too.
What's the current recommended driver and firmware for this card?

Thanks,
Bonne Eggleston

v4l-dvb master branch, standard firmware.

Be warned that there seems to be a funky thing with the firmware (in
australia at least). I needed no less than three different firmware files to
get my DVico Dual Digital 4 (rev1) to be recognised AND to successfully lock
on a channel. Check for dmesg warnings. I am using mythbuntu 8.04.

Cheers,
Damo.

Please be advised that the posting policy on this mailing list is to
post your reply BELOW the quote.

It's irritating that I have to tell this to people repeatedly, and I'm
sure its even more irritating for others that have to constantly read my
complaints about it.

Nothing against you -- please don't top-post in the future.

Anyway, Damien....  Please try the latest driver in the v4l-dvb master
branch -- recent changesets have improved driver performance, and you
should not have the problems anymore that you have described, above.

The AU-specific firmware images have been deprecated, in favor of a much
better driver that works regardless of location.  Standard firmware is
not used, instead.

-Mike

So that's the mercurial repository here:  http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb ?

Do you mean standard firmware *is* used instead? Where do I get the
standard firmware from? Is it just the dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw  from
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/ ?

Use the same bluebird firmware you would have used before.  Now, the
standard xc3028-v27.fw is used instead of the AU-specific one.  My bad
-- I should have specified that earlier.

Thanks. Can I ask where you downloaded it from? Is there an official
place to get this?

Unless somebody files a bug on launchpad, the fix won't be in Ubuntu
until Intrepid.  I think that comes out in a few months.
