DVB interface in FreeBSD / Kaffeine

AB-stromer · Nov 26, 2008

Hi all,

with help from the developer I finally made it to get a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1300 with CX88-driver support up and running in FreeBSD (written a HowTo in http://www.bsdforen.de).
Can scan channel and capture DVB-T with cx88 now.

Now I tried to use Kaffeine, as recommended for DVB, as a viewer, but it doesn't work at all.

My postings in the kaffeine-user ML showed that it looks like there is a completely different interfacing in FreeBSD than in Linux.

During analysis I was asked about the expected dvb device

/dev/dvb/adpater0/frontend0

but at least in my FreeBSD installation there are only three devices
/dev/cx88mpeg0
/dev/cx88video
/dev/cx88audio.

cx88mpeg0 is the device I can use with cx88 for capturing and it works...

The guy in the kaffeine-user ML was wondering even how I was able to compile Kaffeine in FreeBSD... But: that was no problem at all.

Who can help in this issue??

regards

You could ask arved@ for help. He is the maintainer of the Kaffeine port and perhaps he knows how to enable your card.

Whenever dvb-t comes up it is compulsory to reference this:
http://raaf.atspace.org/dvbusb/index.html

I, for one, would be interested in seeing an English translation of your HowTo, and to hear further news about your progress, especially as analogue television is being switched off in the UK over the next few years.

A dvbusb driver for the new USB stack would also be great!

here we are

see attachments.

BTW
analogue will be switched off in Germany end of this year, so there was need for action

Hi,

I followed your howto, but somehow i cant get this card to work.
First of all here are pictures of the chips of the hauppauge hvr-1330, cause it always ships with different chips as i experienced. now i thought that i finally found the one that fits.... (dunno)

[color="Red"][B][libtuner] [/B]CX22702: demodulator not locked

The Console also says something at that time:

Code:

iicdev0: <I2C device> at addr 0x61 on iicbus2
iicdev0: Address 97

So what could be wrong?
Are the chipsets OK?
What does it mean that demodulator is not locked?
Can i manually lock the demodulator and how would you do that?
