When suffering from insomnia, some people count sheep. Others watch television. I ported Ralph Metzler’s drx-d driver into the kernel and finally debugged the issues required to get the HVR-900R2 and PCTV 330e digital support working. I know many people have been waiting a long time for this, and I am happy to announce that… Read More

HVR-1800 and other stuff going on…
Been a few days since I’ve posted an update. Here’s a brief summary of things that have been going on in the last week: Progress continued on improving em28xx analog quality. I isolated a problem with chroma AGC in the saa7115, and am working on a fix now. I nailed down most of the analog… Read More
Call for testers: HVR-950q MythTV fixes
I finally found a few hours to sit down and debug the issue people were reporting where switching back and forth between analog and digital modes under MythTV would intermittently fail with the hvr-950q. It turns up there were a couple of race conditions related to the power management of the chip. http://kernellabs.com/hg/~dheitmueller/hvr-950q-pmfixes/ There was… Read More
HVR-950q and MythTV
Over the last few nights, I finally got a MythTV box setup that I could use for some testing of the HVR-950q. I did some work a few months ago to basically get the analog support working, but there were some reports of problems related to switching back and forth between analog and digital mode…. Read More
Call for testers: PCTV 74e Support
I finally got a chance to do some testing with the PCTV 74e, using the GPL reference driver that Abilis provided. I’m happy to report that at least our initial testing shows that it works out of the box! Testers are welcome to try the following hg tree: http://kernellabs.com/hg/~dheitmueller/v4l-dvb-as102 To build: hg clone http://kernellabs.com/hg/~dheitmueller/v4l-dvb-as102 cd… Read More
PCTV 74e and More Em28xx Quality Work
I spent the last few days working on some basic quality problems with the KWorld 2800d (an em2860/saa7113 design). It would seem that I uncovered a bug that was introduced almost four years ago which would have resulted in reduced quality for all saa7113 based products. I’m also working on a couple of formatting bugs… Read More
