Hello Myth Users,<br>
<br>
I have just installed a CETON InfiniTV 4 PCIe in my backend with a CableCARD<br>
from Charter. I was able to get the card paired, and tests using mplayer as<br>
described in the README show that I am receiving programming and it can be viewed.<br>
<br>
Another package on the vendor's Linux page was Tuning Adapter Drivers,<br>
including the ctntad command. Charter uses SDV extensively in my area, so it<br>
is imperative that I get this working in my installation.<br>
<br>
After some mucking about (downloading, building, and installing various<br>
libraries that are required by ctntad) I was able to get it compiled and<br>
installed, and running it with the --list-tas option shows the TA supplied by<br>
Charter:<br>
<br>
6# ctntad --list-tas<br>
Starting ctntad 0.2.0<br>
Found Motorola Tuning Adapter on bus 4 address 2<br>
<br>
I then took a WAG and just ran ctntad with no arguments (since documentation<br>
is extremely sparse, I didn't know what else to do) and it is doing<br>
*something*, but I don't know if it's actually doing what it's supposed to.<br>
Here's the output:<br>
<br>

I am running the <a href="http://ceton_cci_scanner.pl" target="_blank">ceton_cci_scanner.pl</a> Perl script that Ron Frazier wrote<br>
(thanks Ron!) to see what channels are available in my area, and I'm wondering<br>
if that is the source of the periodic "mocur -> ta" & "ta -> mocur" output.<br>
<br>
Since none of this is in the MythTV wiki page dealing with this card, I'd like<br>
to enhance the documentation by adding a section on using the itv4 with a TA,<br>
so any insight that can be offered would be much appreciated.<br>
<br>
If there's any existing documentation on this, I haven't been able to find it,<br>
so if you know of any, I'd appreciate a link.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Bill<br>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Hi,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><a name=":6c"></a>I use a InfiniTV 4
PCIe but I do not require the tuning adapter. So I don't have any
real working knowledge about using the tuning adapter.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">However from what I have read about
using the tuning adapter (from what I remember) is all that is
required after successful building “ctntad” is putting it in a
init script to start up.<br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">I think “ctntad” well need to start
after the Ceton drivers/service start up and the card has an IP
address and before MythTV service start up.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">I hope that of some help.</p>
