They provided specs and a firmware. + +Quite keen I wanted to put the driver (with some quirks of course) into dibusb. +After reading some specs and doing some USB snooping, it realized, that the +dibusb-driver would be a complete mess afterwards. So I decided to do it in a +different way: With the help of a dvb-usb-framework. + +The framework provides generic functions (mostly kernel API calls), such as: + +- Transport Stream URB handling in conjunction with dvb-demux-feed-control + (bulk and isoc are supported) +- registering the device for the DVB-API +- registering an I2C-adapter if applicable +- remote-control/input-device handling +- firmware requesting and loading (currently just for the Cypress USB + controllers) +- other functions/methods which can be shared by several drivers (such as + functions for bulk-control-commands) +- TODO: a I2C-chunker. It creates device-specific chunks of register-accesses + depending on length of a register and the number of values that can be + multi-written and multi-read. + +The source code of the particular DVB USB devices does just the communication +with the device via the bus. The connection between the DVB-API-functionality +is done via callbacks, assigned in a static device-description (struct +dvb_usb_device) each device-driver has to have. + +For an example have a look in drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/vp7045*. + +Objective is to migrate all the usb-devices (dibusb, cinergyT2, maybe the +ttusb; flexcop-usb already benefits from the generic flexcop-device) to use +the dvb-usb-lib. + +TODO: dynamic enabling and disabling of the pid-filter in regard to number of +feeds requested. + +Supported devices +======================== + +See the LinuxTV DVB Wiki at www.linuxtv.org for a complete list of +cards/drivers/firmwares: + +http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_USB + +0.

USB1.1 Bandwidth limitation + +A lot of the currently supported devices are USB1.1 and thus they have a +maximum bandwidth of about 5-6 MBit/s when connected to a USB2.0 hub. +This is not enough for receiving the complete transport stream of a +DVB-T channel (which is about 16 MBit/s). Normally this is not a +problem, if you only want to watch TV (this does not apply for HDTV), +but watching a channel while recording another channel on the same +frequency simply does not work very well. This applies to all USB1.1 +DVB-T devices, not just the dvb-usb-devices) + +The bug, where the TS is distorted by a heavy usage of the device is gone +definitely. All dvb-usb-devices I was using (Twinhan, Kworld, DiBcom) are +working like charm now with VDR. Sometimes I even was able to record a channel +and watch another one. + +2.3.

An Analogue TV signal (otherwise + known as composite video) is an analogue encoding of a + sequence of image frames (25 per second) rasterised using an + interlacing technique. Interlacing takes two fields to + represent one frame. Computers today are at their best when + dealing with digital signals, not analogue signals and a + composite video signal is about as far removed from a digital + data stream as you can get. Therefore, an Analogue TV card for + a PC has the following purpose: + + * Tune the receiver to receive a broadcast signal + * demodulate the broadcast signal + * demultiplex the analogue video signal and analogue audio + signal (note some countries employ a digital audio signal + embedded within the modulated composite analogue signal - + NICAM.) + * digitize the analogue video signal and make the resulting + datastream available to the data bus. + + The digital datastream from an Analogue TV card is generated + by circuitry on the card and is often presented uncompressed. + For a PAL TV signal encoded at a resolution of 768x576 24-bit + color pixels over 25 frames per second - a fair amount of data + is generated and must be processed by the PC before it can be + displayed on the video monitor screen. Some Analogue TV cards + for PCs have onboard MPEG2 encoders which permit the raw + digital data stream to be presented to the PC in an encoded + and compressed form - similar to the form that is used in + Digital TV. + + The purpose of a simple budget digital TV card (DVB-T,C or S) + is to simply: + + * Tune the received to receive a broadcast signal. + * Extract the encoded digital datastream from the broadcast + signal. + * Make the encoded digital datastream (MPEG2) available to + the data bus. + + The significant difference between the two is that the tuner + on the analogue TV card spits out an Analogue signal, whereas + the tuner on the digital TV card spits out a compressed + encoded digital datastream. As the signal is already + digitised, it is trivial to pass this datastream to the PC + databus with minimal additional processing and then extract + the digital video and audio datastreams passing them to the + appropriate software or hardware for decoding and viewing. + _________________________________________________________ + +The Avermedia DVB-T + + The Avermedia DVB-T is a budget PCI DVB card. It has 3 inputs: + + * RF Tuner Input + * Composite Video Input (RCA Jack) + * SVIDEO Input (Mini-DIN) + + The RF Tuner Input is the input to the tuner module of the + card. The Tuner is otherwise known as the "Frontend" . The + Frontend of the Avermedia DVB-T is a Microtune 7202D. A timely + post to the linux-dvb mailing list ascertained that the + Microtune 7202D is supported by the sp887x driver which is + found in the dvb-hw CVS module. + + The DVB-T card is based around the BT878 chip which is a very + common multimedia bridge and often found on Analogue TV cards. + There is no on-board MPEG2 decoder, which means that all MPEG2 + decoding must be done in software, or if you have one, on an + MPEG2 hardware decoding card or chipset. + _________________________________________________________ + +Getting the card going + + In order to fire up the card, it is necessary to load a number + of modules from the DVB driver set. Prior to this it will have + been necessary to download these drivers from the linuxtv CVS + server and compile them successfully. + + Depending on the card's feature set, the Device Driver API for + DVB under Linux will expose some of the following device files + in the /dev tree: + + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0 + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0 + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/osd0 + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0 + + The primary device nodes that we are interested in (at this + stage) for the Avermedia DVB-T are: + + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 + * /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 + + The dvr0 device node is used to read the MPEG2 Data Stream and + the frontend0 node is used to tune the frontend tuner module. + + At this stage, it has not been able to ascertain the + functionality of the remaining device nodes in respect of the + Avermedia DVBT. However, full functionality in respect of + tuning, receiving and supplying the MPEG2 data stream is + possible with the currently available versions of the driver. + It may be possible that additional functionality is available + from the card (i.e. viewing the additional analogue inputs + that the card presents), but this has not been tested yet. If + I get around to this, I'll update the document with whatever I + find. + + To power up the card, load the following modules in the + following order: + + * modprobe bttv (normally loaded automatically) + * modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules) + + Insertion of these modules into the running kernel will + activate the appropriate DVB device nodes. It is then possible + to start accessing the card with utilities such as scan, tzap, + dvbstream etc. + + The frontend module sp887x.o, requires an external firmware. + Please use the command "get_dvb_firmware sp887x" to download + it. Then copy it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware or /lib/firmware/ + (depending on configuration of firmware hotplug). + +Receiving DVB-T in Australia + + I have no experience of DVB-T in other countries other than + Australia, so I will attempt to explain how it works here in + Melbourne and how this affects the configuration of the DVB-T + card. + + The Digital Broadcasting Australia website has a Reception + locatortool which provides information on transponder channels + and frequencies.
