The 1179:0110 appears to be a Toshiba TTV500x PCI DVB-T/Analog Hybrid
Tuner card.

As Hans said about this card in January:

If you have the *.inf file from the Windows driver, it can give clues as
to how the CX23418 inputs are wired up, the I2C addresses used on the
card, and maybe even GPIO settings and DDR configuration settings. So
one could get started a card entry for this card in the cx18 driver.
(BTW, Toshiba's EULA for the driver software, and I suppose the *.inf
file too, looks a little unfriendly for those who wish to glean data
from it.)

However, you'd still need to physically look at the card to determine
the audio digitizer/multiplexer chip (CS5345 or something else) and the
analog and digital tuners in use.

Please don't use a simple grep to report information. Please provide
all lines between "Start Initialization" and "End Initialization".

And in addition try to run a 'cat /dev/video0 >/dev/null', break it off
and check dmesg to see if the firmware was loaded. If not, then try to
load cx18 with the option cardtype=2 and cardtype=3 respectively and
see if either of these two variations will allow you to load the
firmware.

Hans

I forgot to mention in my previous mail.

The Toshiba Windows driver for the TTV500x is here:

http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_tv_tuner_25836A.exe

But first read the Toshiba EULA for the driver here:

Yeah probably. That's an old ivtv legacy strategy that I'm not even sure made sense then.

Anyway, Toshiba has indicated that they wouldn't/couldn't provide information for me to add support for the digital side of their cards. The best I can do is add support for the analog side of their cards having the end user iteratively experiment.

I don't have time for that. A supported USB Analog/DVB-T hybrid unit is probably a better solution for TV on a laptop under linux, than toshiba's card.

Andy

Yeah, I hear you. The device is pretty obscure, and without a unit to
debug on (or definitive info from the vendor), then it probably isn't
worth your time. And if it's an onboard design in a laptop, it
wouldn't be trivial to yank the card and physically examine it, so you
would probably be forced to determine stuff like the GPIO config and
demod/tuner used purely through experimentation.

I got the impression for toshiba 3 years ago that there was 3rd party interests in the unit so they could release info. I also inferred that it was a plug in (mini pci maybe) card.

Anyway, I forgot to mention that one can specify card type 6 with the cx18 module and hope for the best.

Andy

Argh, typos. That's what I get for typing on the phone at basketball practice.

Toshiba *couldn't* release any info.

I'm very new to Linux. How would I go about setting up another driver for trial and error testing?
Additionally, if I can't find a driver that works at all, how would I ignore or bypass any attempts to load a driver during boot up?

Argh, typos. That's what I get for typing on the phone at basketball practice.

Toshiba *couldn't* release any info.

Unknown Card: vendor/Device: [14f1:5b7a]
Subsystem Vendor/device: [1179:0010]
Defaulting to Hauppauge HVR-1600 card
Invalid EEPROM

System: Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600
Toshiba TV Tuner
. Region/Standard - US/NTSC Standard Definition (720x480)
. Parental Control and Closed Caption
. TV Tuner Enhancements: 3D Y/C separator, Digital noise reduction,
10-bit A/D conversion, Time-based correction

My tv tuner card doesn't appear to work with Ubuntu 10.04 as I received
notice during the boot process advising me to email www.ivtvdriver.org

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Was there any information in the ttv300x.inf file that I sent on Jul 27
01:36:17 CEST 2011 that could be used to modify any of the available driver
parameters under the Ubuntu 10.04 to make my tv tuner card work on my
Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600??

If not, could you provide guidance/instructions on how to bypass the tv
tuner card during bootup until I can get a working solution?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi Tom:

Have you tried

/sbin/modinfo cx18

To see the list of card types? You can then pass the Toshiba card type number in the card= parameter on the modprobe command line when loading the cx18 module or with an option line in /etc/modprobe.d/....conf. Test if Svideo and/or CVBS in work first. The analog tuner will likely not work ATM.


I have had no time for ivtv and cx18 lately, and I anticipate that I will be unable to find free time for a few months to come. (My small company is gaining new business and is keeping me busy with customer work, hiring a few new folks, and getting actual office and lab spaces and other stuff.)

Regards,
Andy

Thanks Andy.
No, I've not tried any of your suggestions as I'm totally ignorant to Ubuntu
operating system. I'm not real sure I can completely follow your
suggestions. But I'm going to spend some time trying to understand and
implement your suggestions via the "man" pages. I guess the ttv300x.inf file
I sent wasn't much help.
I really appreciate you getting back to me though. I wish you all the best
and much success in your business. You've been a great help.
Best regards,
Tom
