 I haven't seen any code updates to support the analog portion of the 
 HVR-1800 in a few weeks.  Is it still being worked on?

Not recently, the current tree is under ~stoth. The encoder is working, 
the tuner is tuning, everything looks OK.

I need to cleanup the ioctl handling.

Funny that you should ask about analog mode NTSC just a week or two after we've 
confirmed that QAM works.  (ATSC has always worked, QAM needed a small patch to 
fix).

The NTSC tuner is already supported, but the cx23885 bridge driver does not yet 
support analog mode.

I don't know how long that will take, but it shouldn't be too far off.

You don't need any firmware for the hvr1800.

The cx23885 has a modified version of the cx25840 a/v decoder inside it. 
It uses different firmware than the normal cx25840 driver already 
present in Linux. As such, to support analog, I also have to push some 
patches into that driver for the differing registers (and firmware).

Analog preview and analog encoder running well in lab conditions and 
they are pretty stable, but I need to spend quality time cherry picking 
pieces from multiple development trees to build something acceptable to 
the linuxtv community.

Soon, think weeks not days.

Excellent, thank you Mike.  I'm using an older pvr150 in my shiny new 
PCI-Express motherboard and I'm looking forward to replacing it with this 
PCI-Express card.  If I can figure out how to split the cable I'll be able to 
run both tuners until I can remove the pvr150.

Are you saying that I will need firmware to view analog tv?

Judging by my schedule, I might not be able to test this out tonight after

Hi guys,

Would this apply to the hvr-1600 also?  I've got both the hvr-1800 and 1600 in 
two different HP media boxes running Vista.

Thanks

No problem, understood.

A schedule, not yet although a driver is being developed. Any 
announcement would be made here.
