DVB-T drivers for other sticks

BlackHole, Tododream and SifTeam have drivers for the WinTV Nova-T.

Is there one driver that all the images use?
Or does it need to be completely rewritten for the ViX image?

Its most probably the same driver... the problem comes in that most of the drivers are made for new kernels .. and the Vu+/Dream dont have new ones :-P So there are a couple of methods to fix the problem .1 Move the Kernel DVB-API version to the latest (which is difficult for me as I dont want to re-flash my box for every test).. or Backport the drivers so that they work on 2.6.18.

If I can get their sources (the Pli test versions dont work) I can give it a whirl

For a quick test, get the kernel modules and load them.. see what explodes :-) (but I prefer source)

So where are you getting the driver for the Avermedia? Sifteam?

You are a great assist to the ViX team.
 
Congrats on the beta tester. I have the WinTV so I'm hoping you can crack that nut soon. I think you will get a good bit more feedback on the WinTV. Thanks for all the work thus far.

Its only software :-) Just some genius at the wintv company thought that making one driver use 8 kernel modules was a good idea.... makes it harder to debug
 
Getting closer,

this is the latest v4l driver on the Vu+ (its not the same dvb-core.ko that is on the ViX compilation) - so now I have to see if the other drivers will work with my version of dvb-core.ko.. (and I have had way too much alcohol today.. Tomorrows task!)

======== SNIP =========
input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input0
dvb-usb: schedule remote query interval to 50 msecs.
dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T Stick successfully initialized and connected.
Firmware version: 66, 17, 0x10200, 0
usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_dib0700

now i realise why your name is houdini

your brilliant mate well done so far
 
thanks houdini for all the effort and hard work, dvb-t with wintv (nova-t) would make my box with vix 1.3 way out in front of the rest.
 
WinTV-Nova drivers working.

UPDATE : WinTV Nova working..

bcm_7355.ko and dvb-core.ko all need the dvb-api to be updated.

Question, why is there SS1 on a terrestrial stick?
 
great to see you have wintv stick working, can you tell me how do I update dvb-api on files you mention.
