[DVB Digital Devices Cine CT V6] status support

[DVB Digital Devices Cine CT V6] status support

[Martin Herrman]

Dear list-members,

I'm building a HTPC based on Linux and searching for an DVB-C tuner card that:
- fits the mobo (only pci-e/usb available, not pci or firewire)
- fits the case (antec fusion remote, big enough)
- is supported by linux
- is dual tuner
- supports encrypted HD content
- provides good quality

digital devices cine ct v6 seems to be a perfect solution, together
with a softcam based on smargo cartreader.

http://shop.digital-devices.de/epages/62357162.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62357162/Categories/HDTV_Karten_fuer_Mediacenter/Cine_PCIe_Serie/DVBC_T

But.. is this card supported by the Linux kernel?

In 3.2.0-rc7 kernel I have found the driver for most of the digital
devices cards, which includes the Cine S2 v6, but not the Cine CT v6.
(I have also found some experimental drivers for CI moduels in the
staging drivers section).

On the other hand, this discussion seems to indicate that drivers for
Cine CT v6 should be working at this time:

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg37183.html

Can you give me an update on the status of a possibly existing driver
for Cine CT v6?

Much thanks in advance,

Martin

The short answer is yes, and as far as I know, it's working fine with DVB-T
(I've never tested the DVB-C).
For support, you need to compile the drivers from Oliver Endriss as they are
not merged in mainstream kernel.

Check here (kernel > 2.6.31):
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/media_build_experimental/
Or here (kernel < 2.6.36) :
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/ngene-octopus-test/

Hi Sébastien,

thanks for your quick and positive reply.

Anyone here that tested it with DVB-C?

Are there any plans to merge this in the mainstream kernel?

Regards,

Martin

I think Oliver and Ralph are the best persons for answering these questions.

Hello Martin

I use the DD Cine CT V6 with DVB-C. It works without problems.
I got the driver before Oliver integrated it in his tree. Therefor I did 
not compile Olivers tree, yet.

At the moment I run the card on Ubuntu 11.10 with kernel 3.0.0-14.

Hope this helps.

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

that is very good news, thanks a lot for the confirmation. Time to

So.. couple of weeks later, the card arrived, and I have some time to
play with it.

Note that I'm running latest stable Ubuntu 64-bit with kernel 3.0.0-16-generic.

First I tried the drivers from
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/media_build_experimental/. In that
case, dmesg output is:

[   11.728370] WARNING: You are using an experimental version of the
media stack.
[   11.728372]  As the driver is backported to an older kernel, it doesn't offer
[   11.728373]  enough quality for its usage in production.

So I started to try the build instructions found here:

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

And after compile, install and a reboot, dmesg output is:

lsmod shows that ddbridge and dvb_core are loaded. /dev/ddbrigde/card0
is created. My webcam is available as a device below /dev/v4l/, but no
entries exist for the tv-tuner card.

I can manually load cxd2820r, which loads succesfully, but has no effect.

Which driver should be used?

Any hints are grealy appreciated!

Martin

  Since you are using Ubuntu, you can find a nearly up-to-date dkms of linux-media with the patches of Oliver Endriss at
  https://launchpad.net/~yavdr/+archive/main called linux-media-dkms

  With this my Cine-C/T with a ddbridge runs without any problems.

Regards,
Lars.

  In mixed environments it's always difficult to combine all the various developer and mainline trees to get working 
drivers for all used hardware...
  But I'm no expert in configuring the dkms, it may have worked flawless... :)

Thomas and Lars,

thanks to both of you for your input.

I first tried the solution proposed by Lars because it seems to be
more future-proof. After install of linux-media-dkms package (note: it
took me a while to find out which kernel packages I had to install to
have linux-media-dkms installation find the kernel sources) and a
reboot, dmesg shows:

[DVB Digital Devices Cine CT V6] status support

[Martin Herrman]

Dear list-members,

I'm building a HTPC based on Linux and searching for an DVB-C tuner card that:
- fits the mobo (only pci-e/usb available, not pci or firewire)
- fits the case (antec fusion remote, big enough)
- is supported by linux
- is dual tuner
- supports encrypted HD content
- provides good quality

digital devices cine ct v6 seems to be a perfect solution, together
with a softcam based on smargo cartreader.

http://shop.digital-devices.de/epages/62357162.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62357162/Categories/HDTV_Karten_fuer_Mediacenter/Cine_PCIe_Serie/DVBC_T

But.. is this card supported by the Linux kernel?

In latest 3.2.0-rc7 kernel I have found the driver for most of the
digital devices cards, which includes the Cine S2 v6, but not the Cine
CT v6.
(I have also found some experimental drivers for CI moduels in the
staging drivers section).

On the other hand, this discussion seems to indicate that drivers for
Cine CT v6 should be working at this time:

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg37183.html

Can you give me an update on the status of a possibly existing driver
for Cine CT v6?

Much thanks in advance,

Martin
