Hi Tim,

I've got two of these cards, and they give a really good picture in windows so I'd love to be able to use them on my Myth box rather than ebay them and get alternatives. I don't have any kernel programming experience but I'm ready to roll my sleeves up and see what happens if you want a guinea pig. My programming experience in the linux world goes as far as tweaking php files and things like that. Currently have the full set of latest v4l-dvb drivers on my backend and plenty of opportunity to fiddle with the config etc. 

Let me know if you wanna bang heads on this...
Rick

Hi,

Also got one of these cards, and available for testing.


Regards,

Richard

Re: [linux-dvb] GDI Black Gold [14c7:0108] cx88 card

[Tim Small]

Hello,

I'm interested in getting this card working under Linux as well, it's 
labelled GDI2500PCTV on the back, and has a Conexant CX23881 visible on 
the front, with a Philips "TU1216/1 H P" RF box...  Looks like there may 
be some more ICs under the metal box, but I'd have to desolder it to 
check what they were (which I can do if necessary).

There seems to be TU1216 support in both v4l/saa7134-dvb.c and 
v4l/budget-av.c (code cut-n-paste by the look of it), but I can't see a 
way to select this tuner with the cx88xx module (e.g. CARDLIST.tuner).

So... I'm game for trying to get this working, and have a bit of kernel 
programming experience, but is there anything else I'm likely to need to 
know before I set out on this?

Cheers!

Tim.
