-How to get the Nebula, PCTV and Twinhan DST cards working
-=========================================================
+How to get the bt8xx cards working
+==================================
 
-This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and
-require the bttv driver.
+1) General information
+======================
 
-Please pay close attention to the warning about the bttv module
-options below for the DST card.
+This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver
+for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
+Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge:
 
-1) General informations
-=======================
-
-These drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means to access
-the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
-
-Because of this, you need to enable
-"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
-  => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
-
-Furthermore you need to enable
-"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
-  => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/TwinHan PCI Cards"
+Compiling kernel please enable:
+a.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
+b.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
+ => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Bt8xx based PCI Cards"
 
 2) Loading Modules
 ==================
 
-In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
-i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver.
-The frontends for Nebula (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV (cx24110) and
-TwinHan (dst) are loaded automatically by the dvb-bt8xx device driver.
+In default cases bttv is loaded automatically.
+To load the backend either place dvb-bt8xx in etc/modules, or apply manually:
 
-3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV
---------------------------
-
-   $ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)
-   $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)
+	$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
 
+All frontends will be loaded automatically.
+People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt.
 
-3b) TwinHan and Clones
---------------------------
+In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary:
 
-   $ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
-   $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
-   $ modprobe dst
+2a) Running TwinHan and Clones
+------------------------------
 
-The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx,
-which  is necessary for TwinHan cards.
+	$ modprobe bttv card=113
+	$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
+	$ modprobe dst
 
-If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks
-your machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the
-mailing list.
+Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module:
 
-The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters.
+verbose=0:		messages are disabled
+	1:		only error messages are displayed
+	2:		notifications are displayed
+	3:		other useful messages are displayed
+	4:		debug setting
+dst_addons=0:		card is a free to air (FTA) card only
+	   0x20:	card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels
 
-verbose takes values 0 to 5. These values control the verbosity level.
-
-debug takes values 0 and 1. You can either disable or enable debugging.
-
-dst_addons takes values 0 and 0x20. A value of 0 means it is a FTA card.
-0x20 means it has a Conditional Access slot.
-
-The autodected values are determined bythe cards 'response
-string' which you can see in your logs e.g.
-
-dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DSTMCI]
+The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string".
+In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI].
+For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated.
+Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.
