I have the same setup here, pvr250 which works, and trying to get
hd3000 working. I'm very close, but i'm not sure what to do now.
Using FC3 with kernel 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 and 2.0 drivers from pchdtv.
Heres a snip from my modprobe.conf:
...
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
#alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c
...
install cx88-atsc /sbin/modprobe cx8800;/sbin/modprobe
--ignore-install cx88-atsc
install cx88-dvb /sbin/modprobe cx8800;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install cx88-dvb
install btcx-risc /sbin/modprobe tuner;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install btcx-risc
Had to comment out the alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv or else I would
get loads of unresolved symbols when modprobe cx88-atsc or cx88-dvb.
I load the modules in rc.d/rc.local:
...
# unload modules if they are loaded so they can be loaded
# in the proper order for everything to work
/sbin/rmmod lirc_i2c
/sbin/rmmod lirc_dev
/sbin/rmmod ivtv
/sbin/rmmod saa7115
/sbin/rmmod bttv
/sbin/rmmod videodev
/sbin/rmmod msp3400
/sbin/rmmod tuner
/sbin/rmmod i2c_algo_bit
/sbin/rmmod tveeprom
/sbin/rmmod i2c_core
# now reload the modules, note that not all modules are reloaded
# explicitly since they are automagically loaded as necessary
/sbin/modprobe i2c_core
/sbin/modprobe i2c_algo_bit
/sbin/modprobe ivtv
/sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
# next load the pchd3000 dvb module
/sbin/modprobe cx88-dvb
not sure if the unloading then reloading is necessary for ivtv, but i
had problems with ivtv before installing hd3000. it worked for
whatever reason. i'm not too sure of why/whats going on here. when
the modprobe cx88-dvb goes through i see the usual messages in dmesg:
...
cx88[0]/0: found at 0000:02:06.0, rev: 5, irq: 5, latency: 64, mmio: 0xfc000000
cx88[0]/0: registered device video1 [v4l2]
cx88[0]/0: registered device vbi1
cx88[0]/0: registered device radio1
cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.4 loaded
cx88[0]/2: found at 0000:02:06.2, rev: 5, irq: 5, latency: 64, mmio: 0xfd000000
cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based dvb card
DVB: registering new adapter (cx88[0]).
DVB: registering frontend 0 (pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV)...
after placing the udev 10-pchdtv.rules & .permissions in the
/etc/udev/rules.d/ and permissions.d/ I modified the .permissions to
change from root:users to mythtv:users in order that mythvsetup had
permission to use/read/configure the dvb device.
my problem now is that i can no longer change the channel in mythtv on
the pvr250 card. i still haven't tried anything with the hd3000.
anyone have advice on this channel changing issue?
