[linux-dvb] Infos regarding TERRATEC Cinergy HT PCMCIA

[Wolfgang Friedl]

Hello,

has anyone tested this card (TERRATEC Cinergy HT PCMCIA) or found useful 
links I could follow?
<http://www.terratec.net/de/produkte/Cinergy_HT_PCMCIA_1599.html>

<http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-October/013898.html>

Googleing around did not bring me further (analogue part should be no 
problem, with the dvb-t part I am not shure)

kind regards,

the card was added by Hartmut himself, that is why you don't find much
about it on the lists ;)

With "mercurial" installed "hg export 4835" will show his patch.

Analog and DVB-T is enabled for the cardbus device with PCI subsystem
153b:1172.

Cheers,
Hermann

This card works since I was able to make it work on Fedora and CLFS 
without any problems. The analogue part works with kdetv and mplayer. 
The dvb-t part works too without problems with kaffeine for instance so 
it should work with the dvb-tools. The only thing that needs a little 
effort is the sound that is not directly send to the sound card. You 
need to use the sox trick explained in the linuxtv wiki.

Hello,

absolutely right, works fine, thank you.
I am sorry I haven't found the time till now to give short message of
the status till now (as I use to give when having asked on a list)

DVB-T everything OK (Ubuntu 8.x and Debian testing), analogue works by
using this PCI-DMA "trick" you mentionend (sox with alsa and a 22050
audio-rate gave best results) One thing to mention: a few channels come
only mute.
<http://www.sasag.ch/angebot/kabelTV.php> (BR and superRTL, are the ones
as far as I remember).
It could be, that using a oss=0 option with saa7134 allows, when
switching to another, "working" channel, then "v4lctl volume mute off"
and switching back, can get you around - I had to few time to test
it/was not important enough; this problem seems to be a known issue, I
had later found some hits on this.

regards

I am not sure to understand. Do you mean that you have two channels with 
the video but without the sound despite the fact that the sound is not 
mute or is it something else. Personally, I never had this problem but I 
am not using my tvcard very often so...

Hello Mathieu,

it is: some channels only have the picture (good quality), but no sound.*

Trying "v4lctl volume mute off" "v4lctl volume mute on" "v4lctl volume 
mute off" (= toggling around) doesn't change, but

change channel to working channel and "toggling" around with the v4lctl 
volume mute off[/on] does sometimes help.
I am sorry I have so much info for "reproduction".
This phenomenon is true for kdetv as well as for tvtime.

kind regards,

"In order to solve sound problems (some channels had no sound, or hashed 
sound...)"
