Hi there,
I have an Air2PC Skystar 2 card and a Twinhan 1020a. I've been using the Twinhan for several years now with VDR and am quite happy with how its working.
I recently added the Air2PC card. Both are seen by the OS: 00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) 00:0b.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11) 00:0c.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)
The twinhan is under /dev/dvb/adapter0 and the Air2PC is under /dev/dvb/adapter1.
VDR verion 1.4.1-3
I confirmed in my sources.conf that I have an entry for C Cable. Would that be what to use for ATSC Cable (North America)?
This is the single channel line I'm using to try and get this working: :@6 A-Channel:729:C0M256:C:0:21:24:0:1:6:0:0:0 Details are: Freq (Mhz) 729.0 QAM_256 C Video PID 21 Audio PID 24 CA 1 (for card number 1? -- does this start at 0? I've tried different numbers here) SID 6 (Same as channel I believe)
Every attempt to change to this channel results in a "Channel not Available".
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance! Norm
Have you made any progress on this?
I've been waiting for someone to respond - if you can get the card working, I'd consider getting one ----- Original Message ----- From: "mlists" mlists@dressler.ca To: "VDR Mailing List" vdr@linuxtv.org Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 5:51 AM Subject: [vdr] VDR with ATSC card -- need help
Sadly, no. I picked this card up on Ebay for $30 *S* so if it works out then great! Solves my analog issues too.
Can anyone offer a suggestion on this problem? I have tried to limit vdr to only looking at the ATSC card and it made no difference.

From what I see you already support the modulation (256). I'm not
familiar enough with ATSC to know if it's more then that. It is DVB from what I understand. I use DVB tools with it. It's supported in MythTV using the same DVB card type as satellite dvb cards. Does any of that help?

From what Im reading, the air2pc ATSC card only supports 8VSB, no
support for QAM at all.
hmm... but this is what I get with dvbsnoop:

Damn, maybe this is only the frontend too -- perhaps I have a card I can't use.

I just came across an older posting from Clem Herbert vdrhaxr@yahoo.com that suggested something in that direction.
