Thanks for the cx18 beta driver. I have a WinTV HVR-1600 product code 74021 with a chip labeled ESMT. I hope to use it as a second ATSC tuner in MythTV when the driver is ready. I am testing in a spare box on a KnoppMyth auto-install (Debian Etch). I compiled a new 2.6.23.12 kernel rather than patch the driver code for KnoppMyth's 2.6.18.
The driver compiled and loaded, but I get an EEPROM error in dmesg. I can't 'cat /dev/video0' although the dev files exist. I did rename the specified firmware files and put them in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware . Some selected dmesg output: cx18: Start initialization, version 0.1.0 cx18-0: Initializing card #0 cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge card PCI: setting IRQ 11 as level-triggered PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:0b.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:0f.0 cx18-0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) cx18-0: cx23418 revision 01010000 (B) tveeprom 1-0050: Huh, no eeprom present (err=-121)? tveeprom 1-0050: Encountered bad packet header [3d].

Let me know if I should try something else. Side note: lirc seems to find the IR receiver plugged into the HVR-1600, but mythfrontend isn't reacting to the bundled remote. I have not used a remote on linux before, so I may have something configured incorrectly. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
