Description

I installed LinHES R7.0.3 with a build date of 9/14/2011

lspci -v shows

Multimedia controller: Phillips Semiconductors SAA7164 (rev 81)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTv HVR-2250
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
Memory at fa800000 (64bit, non prefetchable) [size=4m]
Memory at fa400000 (64bit, non prefetchable) [size=4m]
...
Kernel driver in use: ath9k

My test box is ZOTAC Atom IONITX-F

Myth Setup does not find the card and acts like there no tuner at all.

I added the 22xx firmware to the dvb-firmware package: sudo pacman -Sy dvb-firmware Please report back if that fixes the problem.

The package bombs with file conflicts....

/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-or51132-qam.fw exists in filesystem
/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-or51232-vsb.fw exists in the filesystem
/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-or51211.fw exists in filesystem

I need a little help. How do you capture the text in the cmd window?

I would like to replay with the exact response.

dmesg | grep SAA7154

This will provide a little more insight like the firmware is not loaded but typing the whole thing out is a pain.

Thanks

The package fails conflicting files

/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-or51132-qam.fw
/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-or51132-vsb.fw
/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-or51211.fw

no packages updated

How do you capture text in the cmd window so you don't have to type it all?

Updated by brfransen about 13 years ago

sudo pacman -Syf dvb-firmware to overwrite the file conflicts.

I found the solution to the problem

The file

nxp7164-2010-03-10.1.fw is missing

It needs to be in the lib/firmware directory

http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/firmwares/4019072/NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw

Then reboot

When I enter myth setup the card shows as "Analog V4L capture card"
All I had to do was create two tuners since the card has dual tuners..

Thanks
