I hope someone can help me with this card because I really spent lots of time and have no more ideas.
I manged to extract firmware from windows driver using tutorial from /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.26/Documentation/video4linux/extract_xc3028.pl # 1) Download the windows driver with something like: # wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip # 2) Extract the file hcw85bda.sys from the zip into the current dir: # unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys # 3) run the script: # ./extract_xc3028.pl # 4) copy the generated file: # cp xc3028-v27.fw /lib/firmware Then specied card=61 as module parameter to cx88xx. It seems bttv module is not needed, only cx88xx and cx8800 because bttv is for RM and Deluxe and cx88 is for Expert and Global. It loads other modules, too, like cx88_alsa, but I don't need it because it's not a problem for me to connect from card to line in of motherboard. The problem is I hear only white noise. I tried the card on another machine with Windows XP. I installed drivers and PVR2 and started it, but no picture nor sound. After reboot, there was picture but no sound. Then I connected from TV card to Line In and there was a sound (in Lenny only white noise). After closing app, it never worked again. Don't have an idea why. So please tell me if You have any information or ideas. I tried 'rmmod cx88_alsa', but it didn't help.
