There's a link on the site for > checking out your antenna. http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx My antenna is rotatable, and although the rotator control isn't hooked up yet, the antenna, a 125 mile rated rat shack all band model, is actually pointed within 5 degrees of the tx site, its visible from my front porch or roof, where the antenna is mounted. This is certifiably a wet a finger and hold it up to see which side dries fastest as a check to see if we're on the air site. The ch5 signal at the f59 into the back of the dish receiver is nearly a volt, the signal degrades very little when I turn the dish rx on, thereby opening the direct circuit. But that (5) is the analog channel for us, 6 is the digital. > >You might also try on the video4linux list. video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list > >Nice to see that there is a TV card specifically for linux. > >I'm only using analog TV through a Hauppauge Win TV EXpress card.

I've has this -3000 now for at least 2 years in anticipation of finally having a digital signal within reach. One of the things I'm not seeing in the dmesg when I insert the cx88-dvb module, is the loading of the cards firmware, without which its dead in the water. FC6 does not have a /usr/lib/hotplug tree, so I think my making one and putting the firmware there isn't correct for FC6. So that leads to the question: Do I move it to /etc/firmware, or to the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/firmware, or to /lib/firmware? So I copied those 3 files to all 3 places, but apparently w/o any luck, from messages because of a modprobe -r cx88-dvb: Dec 15 19:49:57 coyote kernel: cx8802_unregister_driver() ->unregistering driver type=dvb Dec 15 19:49:57 coyote kernel: CORE cx88[0]: subsystem: 7063:3000, board: pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV [card=22] Dec 15 19:49:57 coyote kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:01:07.2 disabled And then a modprobe cx88-dvb: Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx2388x cx88-mpeg Driver Manager version 0.0.6 loaded Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx88[0]/2: cx2388x 8802 Driver Manager Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:07.2[A] -> Link [APC2] -> GSI 17 (level, high) -> IRQ 20 Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx88[0]/2: found at 0000:01:07.2, rev: 5, irq: 20, latency: 32, mmio: 0xeb000000 Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.6 loaded Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx8802_register_driver() ->registering driver type=dvb access=shared Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: CORE cx88[0]: subsystem: 7063:3000, board: pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV [card=22] Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based dvb card Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (cx88[0]).

Worse, I did have the dtvscan and dtvsignal utils working but failing to find any signals but now they cannot even open a device. I've modified this kernels .config slightly, and its rebuilding again, so I'll send this & come back later after I've rebooted again. >Hope you get yours fixed for the digital stuff. > >Nigel. > >> >-- >> >Scott van Looy - email:me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | web:www.ethosuk.org.uk >> >site:www.freakcity.net - the in place for outcasts since 2003 >> >PGP Fingerprint: 7180 5543 C6C4 747B 7E74 802C 7CF9 E526 44D9 D4A7 >> > ------------------------------------------- >> > >> > |/// /// /// /// WIDE LOAD /// /// /// ///| >> > >> > ------------------------------------------- >> > >> >Carpe Daemon -- Seize the background process! >> > >> > -- From a Slashdot.org post >> >> -- >> Cheers, Gene >> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: >> soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
