hi .

my problem is kinnda old but i realy searched alot and didn't find the answer.

i have a twinhan dvb card that i can't install at fc4 2.6.11 kernel

i found this
faq.planetsky.com/en/dvb/twinhan-lin.html

and found that i have all the modules needed but the only thing that refer to the card in /sbin/lspci is
02:01.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
02:01.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)


i donut want any extra thing i just want to see tv at linux as i can do at progdvb on windows ..

any extra manuals or help will be appreciated

Linux doesn't detect hardware by manufacture it detects it by identifing the chips on the card.

Its completely possible that another manufacturer could produce their own dvb card but use the same chips, in which case do you create a set of drivers for each card or just generic drivers for the chipset.

Are the modules listed on the linked site loaded correctly?

hre r all my moduls

any sugestions ?!

Looks like you may be missing a couple of modules loaded check your card here and see if there are any options you may be missing when it gets modprobed. BTW what were/is the specifications of the machine you are using this in any links you would care to share, I just bought a 1025 card on Ebay yesterday so am definitely interested any and all information I can get on the subject. Plus can you post the part of the dmesg where the card get detected?

Took awhile but I finally found something you may want to read this thread.

okay ..

am runing a 2000 mega/hurtz with 512 ddr rams and a gigabyte MB and fx5200 vga card sb live ! sound card and a big problem called twinhan dvb

i will post my dmesg when booting linux ..


so we can go step by step in installing the drivers //as u have my problem too //


Take Care

Well I don't have that problem at the moment but with any luck my card will arrive tomorrow if not then Monday next week. IF you want to try on your own the site/thread I link too has a step by step guide you can download you need to register first to be able to get the file. BTW what distribution are you running?

linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Twinhan_VP-1025

Ok so that is the card you have? What I asked in my previous post is what are you running Debian, Redhat, Fedora, Gentoo ....

hi ..

after i read the manual at

http://faq.planetsky.com/en/dvb/twinhan-lin.html


i tried to set the dvb card to another pci as they mentioned there ..and tara !

i can see it in dmesg as described in the manual..

the dmesg part

and i mentiond at my first topic that am at fc4

So you did mention the fc4 sorry about that, Ok that looks good it get detected try an application like Kaffeine and check in the DVB tab and see if you can tune anything. Can you also show the output of lsmod?

did u get yr card ?!

how much did u pay for it ..

i will wait till u get yours to start getting it to work .

hey guys ! am realy stuck here ..
i have fc4 so no kernel recompil needed ..i just have to edit the script and way to go as mentions at
http://faq.planetsky.com/en/dvb/twinhan-lin.html

..and i edited some but donut know how to continue ..i've read alot

dmesg part giving
