Need help with tvheadend

[kowra]

Hi All.

I'm trying to connect my old PS3 play TV tuners to my RT-N66U and use as a network tuner.

I installed tvheadend, but when I check the list of tuners using tvheadend gui, I see none.

I found elsewhere (synalogi forums) that the playtv tuners work with tvheadend.

what am I missing here?

thanks in advance.

OK.. missing kernel support..
I found the following
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Sony_PlayTV_dual_tuner_DVB-T

It says I need 2.6.30 while merlin uses 2.6.22
any way to get this to work?

Shortly: no.

kernel modules cant be compiled?

It was significant changes in V4L2 subsystem after 2.6.22. In fact, we stuck in nowhere between V4L and V4L2

I've compiled tvheadend without DVB support.

OpenWRT kernel might be handy, but they dropped tvheadend package

sorry i meant ddwrt. openwrt does not seem to work on the rtn66u yet. there is no compiled tvheadend with dvb support? how difficult is it to compile? if the kernel supports the drivers it should work

I have no idea how difficult it is to compile with any other toolchain or kernel, sorry.
