-  2004-05-14 - firmware loader is working
-  2004-05-11 - start writing the driver
-
-1. How to use?
-NOTE: This driver was developed using Linux 2.6.6.,
-it is working with 2.6.7 and above.
-
-Linux 2.4.x support is not planned, but patches are very welcome.
-
-NOTE: I'm using Debian testing, so the following explaination (especially
-the hotplug-path) needn't match your system, but probably it will :).
-
-The driver is included in the kernel since Linux 2.6.10.
-
-1.1. Firmware
-
-The USB driver needs to download a firmware to start working.
-
-You can either use "get_dvb_firmware dibusb" to download the firmware or you
-can get it directly via
-
-for USB1.1 (AN2135)
-http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw
-
-for USB1.1 (AN2235) (a few Artec T1 devices)
-http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-an2235-1.fw
-
-for USB2.0 (FX2) Hauppauge, DiBcom
-http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-6.0.0.5.fw
-
-for USB2.0 ADSTech/Kworld USB2.0
-http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-adstech-usb2-1.fw
-
-for USB2.0 HanfTek
-http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-an2235-1.fw
-
-
-1.2. Compiling
-
-Since the driver is in the linux kernel, activating the driver in
-your favorite config-environment should sufficient. I recommend
-to compile the driver as module. Hotplug does the rest.
-
-1.3. Loading the drivers
-
-Hotplug is able to load the driver, when it is needed (because you plugged
-in the device).
-
-If you want to enable debug output, you have to load the driver manually and
-from withing the dvb-kernel cvs repository.
-
-first have a look, which debug level are available:
-
-modinfo dib3000mb
-modinfo dib3000-common
-modinfo dib3000mc
-modinfo dvb-dibusb
-
-modprobe dib3000-common debug=<level>
-modprobe dib3000mb debug=<level>
-modprobe dib3000mc debug=<level>
-modprobe dvb-dibusb debug=<level>
-
-should do the trick.
-
-When the driver is loaded successfully, the firmware file was in
-the right place and the device is connected, the "Power"-LED should be
-turned on.
-
-At this point you should be able to start a dvb-capable application. For myself
-I used mplayer, dvbscan, tzap and kaxtv, they are working. Using the device
-in vdr is working now also.
-
-2. Known problems and bugs
-
-- Don't remove the USB device while running an DVB application, your system will die.
-
-2.1. Adding support for devices
-
-It is not possible to determine the range of devices based on the DiBcom
-reference designs. This is because the reference design of DiBcom can be sold
-to thirds, without telling DiBcom (so done with the Twinhan VP7041 and
-the HAMA device).
-
-When you think you have a device like this and the driver does not recognizes it,
-please send the ****load*.inf and the ****cap*.inf of the Windows driver to me.
-
-Sometimes the Vendor or Product ID is identical to the ones of Twinhan, even
-though it is not a Twinhan device (e.g. HAMA), then please send me the name
-of the device. I will add it to this list in order to make this clear to
-others.
-
-If you are familar with C you can also add the VID and PID of the device to
-the dvb-dibusb-core.c-file and create a patch and send it over to me or to
-the linux-dvb mailing list, _after_ you have tried compiling and modprobing
-it.
-
-2.2. USB1.1 Bandwidth limitation
-
-Most of the currently supported devices are USB1.1 and thus they have a
-maximum bandwidth of about 5-6 MBit/s when connected to a USB2.0 hub.
-This is not enough for receiving the complete transport stream of a
-DVB-T channel (which can be about 16 MBit/s). Normally this is not a
-problem, if you only want to watch TV (this does not apply for HDTV),
-but watching a channel while recording another channel on the same
-frequency simply does not work very well. This applies to all USB1.1
-DVB-T devices, not just dibusb)
-
-Update: For the USB1.1 and VDR some work has been done (patches and comments
-are still very welcome). Maybe the problem is solved in the meantime because I
-now use the dmx_sw_filter function instead of dmx_sw_filter_packet. I hope the
-linux-dvb software filter is able to get the best of the garbled TS.
-
-The bug, where the TS is distorted by a heavy usage of the device is gone
-definitely. All dibusb-devices I was using (Twinhan, Kworld, DiBcom) are
-working like charm now with VDR. Sometimes I even was able to record a channel
-and watch another one.
-
-2.3. Comments
-
-Patches, comments and suggestions are very very welcome.
