1 How to get the Nebula Electronics DigiTV, Pinnacle PCTV Sat, Twinhan DST + clones working
2 =========================================================================================
7 This class of cards has a bt878a chip as the PCI interface.
8 The different card drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means
9 to access the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
11 2) Compilation rules for Kernel >= 2.6.12
12 =========================================
14 Enable the following options:
16 "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
17 => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
18 "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
19 => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/TwinHan PCI Cards"
21 3) Loading Modules, described by two approaches
22 ===============================================
24 In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
25 i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver,
26 which is called the backend.
27 The frontends for Nebula DigiTV (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV Sat (cx24110),
28 TwinHan DST + clones (dst and dst-ca) are loaded automatically by the backend.
29 For further details about TwinHan DST + clones see /Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.

45 If not already done by installation, place a line either in
46 /etc/modules.conf or in /etc/modprobe.conf containing this text:
47 alias char-major-81 bttv
49 Then place a line in /etc/modules containing this text:
52 Reboot your system and have fun!
