1How to get the bt8xx cards working
2==================================
3
41) General information
5======================
6
7This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver
8for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
9Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge:
10
11Compiling kernel please enable:
12a.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
13b.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
14 => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Bt8xx based PCI Cards"
15
162) Loading Modules
17==================
18
19In default cases bttv is loaded automatically.
20To load the backend either place dvb-bt8xx in etc/modules, or apply manually:
21
22 $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
23
24All frontends will be loaded automatically.
25People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt.
26
27In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary:
28
292a) Running TwinHan and Clones
30------------------------------
31
32 $ modprobe bttv card=113
33 $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
34 $ modprobe dst
35
36Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module:
37
38verbose=0: messages are disabled
39 1: only error messages are displayed
40 2: notifications are displayed
41 3: other useful messages are displayed
42 4: debug setting
43dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only
44 0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels
45
46The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string".
47In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI].
48For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated.
49Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.

61Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761: 124
62DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite: 128
63DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite: 135
64
65Notice: The order of the card ID should be uprising:
66Example:
67 $ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
68 $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
