Digitainer and That kind of vdr ?

[entrr2]

Hello!

I'm new in this forum, and I hope you can help me.

I have a original  Medion Digitainer 90012. I want to install a Vdr system. I have read in this forum that several kinds exist. I believe that I must put Easyvdr, but i have any doubts:

1.- It is necessary install first linux.
2.- It is a software with included linux
3.- He stands osd in Spanish
4.- To that install Easyvdr one I installed in a disk particion


Thanks.

Please tell me the full Name of the card or the output of lspci.

hi!

My Medion MD 90012 Digitainer have (DVB-C-/Kabel Analog-TV-Karte im Lieferumfang) and original O.S.

Thanks.

Hi again,

you must have a card that is supported under Linux.

Take a look on the card and post there the Part-Number and the Original-Code of the Designer.

or put a Link to a picture of the card in that thread.

If you have a card that is not supported under linux, you have no chance to use VDR.

Hy entrr2,

and original O.S.

Are you aware that you have to download the EasyVDR Image from here ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/easyvdr/beta/ an Install it on your Machine to get Support from the Admins ???

Cause using the Original Software (LINSPIRE) will not help you receiving a TV Signal

Hy entrr2,

either using XP as Operating System, Is not an Option, getting Help here! you should realy make a Backup of your Installation. an try using the EasyVDR image instead of you XP Installation.

But beware, (as wbreu wrote you allready)If you want to use EasyVDR(Linux) you need(as far as i know) another DVB Device, because the Original Device CTX929 will not work with Linux (no Driver Support)!

check here, if your Device is Supported by Linux: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S_PCI_Cards

from ReleaseNotes.txt:
The onboard EEPROM holding the board configuration settings, which will be evaluated by the driver, must
have programmed a '0xFF' to the entry 'ExtInfoStructureOffset2' (address 0x16, see URD file
'EEPROM_PCF8582_EUROPA.urd').Otherwise the driver-internal checksum calculation (for comparison with the
checksum inside the EEPROM) will fail and the driver will not be loaded.
Calling the 'BoardInfo' dialogue (accessible after the 'EEPROM_PCF8582_EUROPA.urd' file has been loaded
into the URD tool) will make this necessary setting during the initialization of the GUI.
...
· Support EIAJ audio switching (SW workaround for Saa7133 with Revision ID <0xad1021,
for >=0xad1021 HW fix is valid)·
· For SiliconTuner/FM-Radio the 2nd AddData Byte can be used to specify a different GPIO Pin than
Pin 21 (default) to enable or disable FM-Radio.
- Support for hybrid (NTSC, ATSC) tuner TUV1236D (tuner ID 0x18)







I believe that a KNC-1. Can you help me. Can you say me if my device is supported by linux.


Thanks..

[prudentis]

Hy entrr2,

If you follow the link i´ve Poste above,
you can see KNC-1 ist Supported by Linux, just take a peek here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/KNC1

Just in case, make a Backup of Your System burn it on DVD and Install Easyvdr for Testing. How about a little adventure

Hi!

I input cd image in my cd-drive and rebbot medion, but when started send a missage " Disk Boot Failure, please insert sistem disk and press enter "

How can i do?, can you help me!

Thanks.

[prudentis]

Hy entrr2,

I already had the same problem with my Digitainer, I solved it with changing to another DVD-Drive. I don´t know the Reason why the Original DVD Drive sometimes didn´t accept others then the Original Linspire DVD.

try changing the DVD Drive to another, and tell us the result!



greets prudentis

[entrr2]

Hi Prudentis!

I don't have other dvd-drive.
I test change others parametres of bios, but is the same result.

There isn't another solution?


Thanks.

[prudentis]

Hy entrr2,

as far as i know NO, my eyperience was only to change the DVD Drive! But for Installing EasyVDR it´s enough to have a CD Drive as well!

Maybe some other User here or at the VDR-Portal has more idea´s, but for me it´s working that way.

Hi,

maybe the same problem like here: http://www.easy-vdr.de/forum/index.php?topic=3178.0

boot your computer with USB-keyboard plugged in -> F11 on startup -> password: am8888egh -> Advanced BIOS Futures  -> MEDION CD Only: switch to [Disabled]

maxx

[entrr2]

H!

Thanks maxx, but I already have one more time this action and the result is the same, the installation of easyvdr cd is not started.

Insurance that other solution exists!

[poschli]

Hy entrr2,

test the function of the DVD ROM and the disk in another computer.
