7.2.1. General information¶
This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driverfor accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
Your TV card vendor saved a few 08 saa7134: cents for a eeprom, thus your pci board has no 11 saa7134: subsystem ID and I can't identify it automatically 14 saa7134: 16 saa7134: I feel better now. Twinhan Technology Co. Ltd (' TwinHan) is a Taiwanese manufacturer that has produced a plethora of PCI and USB based DVB devices. TwinHan's foray into Linux originated with closed source bttv drivers (based on the BSD License) for Redhat 9.0.
Please see BTTV cards list for a complete list of Cards based on theConexant Bt8xx PCI bridge supported by the Linux Kernel.
It seems you are looking for twinhan 1027 driver. 1 there are no wdm drivers for the 1027 that i can find.

Add 'options cx88xx card=51,51' to /etc/modprobe.d/options if using two cards Try adding 'options cx88-alsa index=1,2' to /etc/modprobe.d/options and use /dev/dsp in MythTV Frontend if having sound issues in MythTV.
In order to be able to compile the kernel, some config options should beenabled:
If you want to automatically support all possible variants of the Bt8xxcards, you should also do:
Note
Please use the following options with care as deselection of drivers whichare in fact necessary may result in DVB devices that cannot be tuned dueto lack of driver support.
If your goal is to just support an specific board, you may, instead,disable MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT and manually select the frontend driversrequired by your board. With that, you can save some RAM.
You can do that by calling make xconfig/qconfig/menuconfig and look atthe options on those menu options (only enabled ifAutoselectancillarydrivers
is disabled:
Devicedrivers
=>Multimediasupport
=>CustomizeTVtuners
Devicedrivers
=>Multimediasupport
=>CustomizeDVBfrontends
Then, on each of the above menu, please select your card-specificfrontend and tuner modules.
7.2.2. Loading Modules¶
Regular case: If the bttv driver detects a bt8xx-based DVB card, allfrontend and backend modules will be loaded automatically.
Exceptions are:
- Old TV cards without EEPROMs, sharing a common PCI subsystem ID;
- Old TwinHan DST cards or clones with or without CA slot and notcontaining an Eeprom.
In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for bttv andfor dvb-bt8xx drivers by passing modprobe parameters may be necessary.
7.2.2.1. Running TwinHan and Clones¶
Twinhan Sound Cards & Media Devices Drivers
As shown at BTTV cards list, TwinHan andclones use card=113
modprobe parameter. So, in order to properlydetect it for devices without EEPROM, you should use:
Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module:
The autodetected values are determined by the cards’ “response string”.
In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI].
For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated.Please also see Digital TV Conditional Access Interface.
7.2.2.2. Running multiple cards¶
See BTTV cards list for a complete list ofCard ID. Some examples:
Brand name | ID |
---|---|
Pinnacle PCTV Sat | 94 |
Nebula Electronics Digi TV | 104 |
pcHDTV HD-2000 TV | 112 |
Twinhan DST and clones | 113 |
Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 77: | 123 |
Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761 | 124 |
DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite | 128 |
DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite | 135 |

Note
When you have multiple cards, the order of the card ID shouldmatch the order where they’re detected by the system. Please noticethat removing/inserting other PCI cards may change the detectionorder.

In case of further problems please subscribe and send questions tothe mailing list: linux-media@vger.kernel.org.
7.2.2.3. Probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID¶
There are some TwinHan cards whose EEPROM has become corrupted for somereason. The cards do not have a correct PCI subsystem ID.Still, it is possible to force probing the cards with:
Twinhan Sound Cards & Media Devices Driver
The two numbers there are:
