1 | How to get the Nebula Electronics DigiTV, Pinnacle PCTV Sat, Twinhan DST + clones working |
| 2 | ========================================================================================= | |

4 | 1) General information |
| 5 | ====================== | |

7 | This class of cards has a bt878a chip as the PCI interface. |
| 8 | The different card drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means | |
| 9 | to access the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset. | |

11 | 2) Compilation rules for Kernel >= 2.6.12 |
| 12 | ========================================= | |
| 1da177e4 | 13 | |
| a2f552f5 | 14 | Enable the following options: |
| 1da177e4 | 15 | |
| 1da177e4 | 16 | "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" |
| a2f552f5 | 17 | => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux" |
| daeb6aa4 | 18 | "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices" |
| a2f552f5 | 19 | => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/TwinHan PCI Cards" |

21 | 3) Loading Modules, described by two approaches |
| 22 | =============================================== | |

| 24 | In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and | |
| a2f552f5 UB |
25 | i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver, |
| 26 | which is called the backend. | |
| 27 | The frontends for Nebula DigiTV (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV Sat (cx24110), | |
| 28 | TwinHan DST + clones (dst and dst-ca) are loaded automatically by the backend. | |
| 29 | For further details about TwinHan DST + clones see /Documentation/dvb/ci.txt. | |

31 | 3a) The manual approach |
| 32 | ----------------------- | |
| 1da177e4 | 33 | |
| a2f552f5 UB |
34 | Loading modules: |
| 35 | modprobe bttv | |
| 36 | modprobe dvb-bt8xx | |
| 1da177e4 | 37 | |
| a2f552f5 UB |
38 | Unloading modules: |
| 39 | modprobe -r dvb-bt8xx | |
| 40 | modprobe -r bttv | |

| a2f552f5 | 42 | 3b) The automatic approach |
| df481ae5 | 43 | -------------------------- |
| 1da177e4 | 44 | |
| a2f552f5 UB |
45 | If not already done by installation, place a line either in |
| 46 | /etc/modules.conf or in /etc/modprobe.conf containing this text: | |
| 47 | alias char-major-81 bttv | |
| 1da177e4 | 48 | |
| a2f552f5 UB |
49 | Then place a line in /etc/modules containing this text: |
| 50 | dvb-bt8xx | |
| 1da177e4 | 51 | |
| a2f552f5 | 52 | Reboot your system and have fun! |
