[UNKNOWN IVTV CARD] Sony TV card

Post #1 of 4 (6433 views)

I've got a Sony TV card extracted from the unknown (Sony?) brandname computer.
Unfortunately, "ivtv" driver can't recognize it and aviced me to post
IDs to this list ;)

This card has labels: "Sony", "PCVA-IMB5A", "ENX-26"

Sorry for the late reply, it's been very busy lately.

I went through the archives and apparently Eric Anderson managed to get this
working almost two years ago. For whatever reason I never picked up this
patch (hint: if I seem to ignore an email, then mail again after a week to
remind me!).

I have attached his original patch and reproduced his email below and CC-ed
him as well:

Eric, did you work more on this?

I have prepared a repository which adds this patch (with a few small minor
modifications):

http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/~hverkuil/v4l-dvb-ivtv

Alexander, can you test this? Instructions on building that tree are here:

http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Download#Bleeding_Edge_driver

(just replace the v4l-dvb repository in that description with mine).

Eric, even if you have no time to look at this, I would like to get a
'Signed-off-by' line from you (see here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Development:_How_to_submit_patches).
That allows me to merge it into the kernel if this patch works.

The other thing we need is which tuner model is used by Eric's and Alexander's
cards. Eric provided a workaround patch that modified one tuner, but it
probably should become a new tuner definition. And then we need to know
which tuner it is. I'm also not sure what tuner Alexander has: it might be
a different one.

I've also CC-ed Andy Walls since I have no idea whether I will have the time
to work more on this. All my weekends for the rest of the year are already
pretty full, so I hope Andy can take over from me. Or at least help with
answering mailinglist posts...

Regards,

Hans

I'll add it to my pile. I've got a bit of ivtv (IR) and cx25840 module
problems or ptahces backed up that I need to clear out though.

For most of this coming week, I'll only be able to read emails (not
send), but I will check IRC (#v4l and #linuxtv) in the evenings.

Regards,
Andy

I found pictures of the ENX-20 KIKYOU on Japanese auction sites. The
various units shown all look the same. The tuner assemblies made by
Sony have these markings

8-598-604-00
BTF-PJ301Z SONY
MADE IN JAPAN
K 2H29 AC

8-598-604-00
BTF-PJ301Z SONY
MADE IN JAPAN
K 2M18 AD

8-598-604-00
BTF-PJ301Z SONY
MADE IN JAPAN
K 2K01 AD

8-598-632-00
BTF-PJ401Z SONY
MADE IN CHINA
T 3E24 AK

So that's only two different tuner assemblies really

Sony Part # 859863200
Tuner Model # BTF-PJ401Z

Sony Part # 859860400
Tuner Model # BTF-PJ301Z

The PJ401Z is confirmed as the proper model number on this page:
http://www.ued.net/catalog/cat_item_idx_5268.html

I can find no information about these tuner assemblies, what TV systems
they support, or how to program them. Experimentation looks like the
best we can get aside from any comments in the Windows *.inf files.

Andy
