[mythtv-users] pcHDTV analog on 0.21 ?

[Kevin Bailey]

I bought another PC to bring up 0.21 on (so I'd still have
the old 0.20 one running) and popped in a spare pcHDTV 3000.
(Actually I swapped cards because I knew the old one
worked.) But I'm having trouble getting it all configured.

After much wrangling, I finally got it so 'mythtv' could log
into mysql. The distros really need to work on that. Hasn't
changed since 0.18...

I'm using the 2.6.24 kernel on Hardy.

I verified that the kernel recognizes the card as having an
analog half:

% lspci
...
01:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
01:06.1 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [Audio Port] (rev 05)
01:06.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05)

The loaded modules seem to be identical to my working 0.20 set-up:

% lsmod | grep cx88
cx88_dvb               16388  0 
cx88_vp3054_i2c         4864  1 cx88_dvb
videobuf_dvb            8708  1 cx88_dvb
cx88_alsa              16648  1 
cx8802                 22276  1 cx88_dvb
cx8800                 42628  0 
cx88xx                 72744  4 cx88_dvb,cx88_alsa,cx8802,cx8800
...

I assume this is correct:

% ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/
total 0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 4 2008-09-14 20:05 demux0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 5 2008-09-14 20:05 dvr0

% ls -l /dev/video0 
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2008-09-14 20:05 /dev/video0
% ls -l /dev/dsp*
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 14,  3 2008-09-14 20:05 /dev/dsp
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 14, 19 2008-09-14 20:05 /dev/dsp1
% ls -l /dev/vbi*
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 224 2008-09-14 20:05 /dev/vbi0

But in mythtv-setup, when adding a card, and I select type
"DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)", there's no "analog options".
We're not supposed to add the analog half as a separate (V4L) card,
right ? Otherwise myth might schedule 2 recordings on it.

So, I could use a clue from those familiar with 0.21.

Thanks
