Hi all,

as far as I am able to understand the existing code, there should be a kund of 
tuner interface for the tuner driver. (I'm on work, I don't have the code 
here...there were methods like get...TunerInterface)

I think we need to write such a method for any (partly) existing driver - am I 
right?

 Hi,

 That could be interesting. (There are several xc3028 drivers, and
 unfortunately the one in trunk is analog-only and incomplete. There's
 mrec's drivers, which support analog and digital but either require
 changes to core code that'll never be merged or involve a weird
 userspace tuner interface that's currently unmerged - I'm not sure how
 compatible the latter is with trunk now. There's also digital-only
 code lying around somewhere. Finally, I have a port of mrec's
 kernel-space driver to the hybrid tuner framework in trunk, but it's
 untested with digital and with anything other than the original
 HVR-900. The last one is also not currently publicly available.)

 The xc3028 has some odd requirements in itself - it seems to need GPIO
 twiddling to tune, amongst other things.

 (Sorry about the duplicate e-mail - I accidentally replied to sender
 instead of to all.)

 Aidan.

Hi Olivier,

sorry for my private reply last night (...beginners mistake). 
Again: I did what you said and the device is now found. But the tuner seems to 
be a xc3028. 

There is a registry-entry in the INF-file:

[MOD7000_DEVICE_AddReg]
; STK7700PH (HOOK_USB_REV_B; hybrid_diversity_xc3028_cx2584x) (0x1e98)

So what can I do to get the tuner working?

Thank you

Holger

Hi Holger/Olivier/Everyone,

as Holger opened it (THX!), I found out that the main chip is a
dibcom7700c1.

So I tried to install the device as a TERRATEC_CINERGY_DT_XS_DIVERSITY
wich uses the same chip. (I modified the dvb-usb-ids.h file and used the
dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw firmware)

Now the device is found, but no tuning at all; I agree with Holger that
it must use a xc3028 tuner instead of the MT2266 (Dmesg tell me MT2266
I2C read failed)

Am I moving in the right direction? Am I stuck in the same point that
you, Holger?

Let me know if you find out something, I will do the same.

Thank you,

Ivan

 I searched this mailing list and after that tried to find the USB id

 So does anyone knows, which driver could work. Is there a possibility to

 I wouldn't hesistate to patch/extend the sources when anyone leads me in the

Maybe you should have a look at:

Not sure if that driver will work with your device although you might
give it a try.

I doubt it: the Terratec XE that has an af9005 onboard has the usb id 
0ccd:0055
You know how these things work: the manufacturers always give the same 
name to completely different devices :-(

Ok, I opened the device and inside is:

a dibcom7700c1 chip.

What can I do next?
