K8u-x + Dvb-t = Pain:(
 
Hi,

I was wondering if someone could shed some light on issue I'm having before I take a screwdriver to my mobo.
I'm hoping to build a mythtv box but the dvb cards wont tune to anything.

I have tried them in a old socket A board and they scan and tune.
using

scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/ etc on the K8U-X

I get "WARNING: filter timeout pid <some id>" several times

could this be affecting the card?

any help would be great or its bye bye board:mad:

i had a weird problem like this
in the end i was too lazy to figure out how to use TV Cards in Myth.

try Kaffeine (the KDE Video Player)
it allows playback,timeshifting and scheduled DVB recording.

At least then you'll know the cards work or not.
to use DVB-t with Kaffeine you need to install
a52s, ffmpeg and Kaffeine 0.8+

Cheers for the reply


I pretty sure it's not the card(s) I shoved one into an old asus A7V600 via chipset MoBo and it worked using the dvb-utils scan command.


I'm investigating to see if its a DMA issue?

the thing that concerns me is the errors below

I'm at a loss

After much poking around it looks like its a IRQ issue. The bizarre thing is its usually the second of the cards that will tune.

I.E.

16: IO-APIC-fasteoi libata, cx88[1], cx88[1]
21: IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0, cx88[0], cx88[0]

Its cx88[1] that will tune but not cx88[0]

Is there anyway to set the IRQ's manually?


Thanks
