Winfast DTV2000H module help

farmerdave · 02-27-2009, 05:36 PM

I have the Winfast DTV2000H tv card, and i had a working Mythbuntu system with the same hardware. I had to add

options cx88xx card=51

to get this to work previously. I now have a slackware system with Mythtv but i can't get the tv card working. I'm pretty sure the module is loaded (cx88_dvb).

Code:

lsmod | grep dvb
cx88_dvb               20996  0
cx88_vp3054_i2c         6400  1 cx88_dvb
videobuf_dvb            8580  1 cx88_dvb
dvb_core               75648  2 cx88_dvb,videobuf_dvb
cx8802                 18820  1 cx88_dvb
cx88xx                 68008  4 cx88_dvb,cx8800,cx8802,cx88_alsa
videobuf_dma_sg        14980  5 cx88_dvb,cx8800,cx8802,cx88_alsa,cx88xx
videobuf_core          19460  5 videobuf_dvb,cx8800,cx8802,cx88xx,videobuf_dma_sg

and

Code:

But now when i try and scan for channels, using this guide (the same guide I configured Mythbuntu with) i have 0% signal strength.

I am totally confused.

Here is why I am so confused, i changed nothing and did a restart. Now

I would really appreciate if someone could show me how to load the cx88_dvb module properly!
