lirc & cx88

[cosinusminus]

I have been struggling for along time trying to get my Leadtek Winfast TV2000 Expert card (cx88 driver) to work with lirc. It has the same remote as the Leadtek Winfast TV2000 Deluxe, but following the directions given to ths specific card didn't give any results.
Has anyone managed to get it working? I couldn't find any serious how-to.
Cheers

I've got the same card and have been trying to figure out how to get the remote working, and have no clue, so let me know if you figure it out.

I also have a Leadtek Winfast TV Expert card (cx88). Could you pls post your modules config, and your driver version? All I could achieve was bw video, and mono sound as of yet.

Thanx

Mine just worked(except remote and not being able to mute the radio), after adjusting tvtime settings, although i'm pretty sure i only have mono sound. Here's my dmesg if you need exact tuner/card versions

Well, your card uses an NTSC tuner, while mine uses PAL, this is a difference I guess.

Any change on the remote front??
For PAL People, try modprobe cx8800 tuner=5 ...

I dont think there is drivers for the expert card. I have only seen drivers for the deluxe card. Have tried all possible settings and things but let me know if you find a solution.. Dahh, now i have to buy another card
