WinPVR 350

[Mike Tancsa]

Encouraged by http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200312050618.hB56IYi00447 
I picked up a PVR 350 to use on my home firewall.  The ability to schedule 
TV recordings via cron was just too tempting!  However, much to my 
disappointment, it looks like the underlying chipset has changed enough not 
to work with the driver as posted.

When loading the modules, I see

Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: cxm0: <Conexant iTVC15 MPEG Coder> mem 
0xd8000000-0xdbffffff irq 12 at device 1.0
  on pci1
Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: cxm_iic0: <Conexant iTVC15 / iTVC16 I2C 
controller> on cxm0
Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: iicbb0: <I2C bit-banging driver> on cxm_iic0
Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: iicbus0: <Philips I2C bus> on iicbb0 master-only
Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: iicsmb0: <I2C to SMB bridge> on iicbus0
Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: smbus1: <System Management Bus> on iicsmb0
Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: smb1: <SMBus general purpose I/O> on smbus1
Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: cxm0: unknown tuner code 0xf9
Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: cxm0: could not initialize tuner
Jan  9 10:19:09 cage /kernel: device_probe_and_attach: cxm0 attach returned 6

Patching the code to max the tuner ID of 0xf9 match the listed tuners in 
the case statement does not work either.

e.g. if I force it to one of the ones listed, it still barfs on the audio 
portion. If I force that as well to continue on, the unit does not initialize

cxm0: Philips FM1246 tuner
cxm0: SAA7115 rev 1 video decoder
cxm0: unknown audio decoder MSP3448W-A2 -- continuing anyways
cxm0: MSP3448W-A2 audio decoder
cxm0: IR Remote
cxm0: could not initialize hardware
device_probe_and_attach: cxm0 attach returned 6

Has anyone had any luck with these newer models ?  I had a look at the 
linux ivtv stuff and it seemed to treat the DSP the same as the MSP34xx 
series.  But as for the video tuner, it made reference to a  saa7127 which 
I wonder if this is one.
