Not at all! I'm hanging on every word....

Where did you get that firmware from?
Is there a way to tell which version I've got?

File name, size, and MD5 would be nice.

Here's mine, which presumably came with R5E50

Well the get_dvb_firmware script mentioned here has this piece of code: which downloads this file:
http://www.aver.com/support/Drivers/AVerTVHD_MCE_A180_Drv_v1.2.2.16.zip
and extracts 3xHybrid.sys from the archive and then extracts "dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw" from 3xHybrid.sys. The 3xHybrid.sys file in that download is from 2005-03-31, so I doubt it is any different than what you already have, but it might be worth checking just in case.

interesting... tried that early on in case there was something wrong with the firmware and i get an error when i try to run the get_dvb_firmware script. it seems as though it won't unzip the file downloaded from aver.com. the error is something like (and this is from memory only) "error in line 345: file is not zipped or is part of a multi-disk archive; unzip failed." could it be a problem with the file from aver.com?

dwaine, did you download the firmware with this script?

Yeah... I used the script with the kernel which I apt-get'dd. Same perl script as the ATSC110 instruction indicate.

After a reboot, the same situation happens. Where the nxt2004 does not get loaded by saa7134-dvb. If I manually unload saa7134 and then modprobe saa7134 and saa7134-dvb it works.

So everyone having trouble, just try the following...

1. Kill the backend, make sure it's not running.
2. modprobe -r saa7134
3. modprobe saa7134
4. modprobe saa7134-dvb

Then you should see the wonderful output in messages....

Looks like entry for saa7134-dvb is getting ignored when a reboot happens, but it's there.
Also, it's not a problem just relating to R5E50. I have seen this problem with the older versions too. Usually, just downloading v4l/dvb cvs and compiling then make install fixes it.

Can people try unloading saa7134 and then manually loading both saa7134 and saa7134-dvb. Get back to this thread with the results.

Dwaine

Here is the patch for the remote to work. It does conflict with the KNC1 devices since it shares the same address as with the Kworld ATSC110. I'm going to fix up the patch and submit it to v4l/dvb. Hopefully before my holidays are over... It's been awhile since I have patched a copy of v4l/dvb cvs.

Here's what I get:



It's my 3rd card, so maybe that's why it says "frontend 2". But I don't see the firmware upload message.

The mdsum matches mine, which I found tucked away in the system somewhere, so apparently it's the right one. That's good, anyway.

You should be good to go. Now just setup the card with mythtv-frontend.

BRAVO! worked for me, too.

now... could someone point me to instructions on how to apply that remote control patch?

thanks again!

I just manually do it and then recompile v4l. The patch was whipped up a couple of months ago, and I have not removed the repeat function and also the issue with the same address as KNC1 cards. I'm not sure that the patch will cleanly apply to a recent v4l/dvb cvs.

The remote patch works great though...
