tv tuner "Not Only Tv PCI Express Hybrid"

**okurde** · December 7th, 2012

I really don't know what to do. Tutorials, advice or discusions I have found were about other tv tuner cards and not helpful at all, aven if the tuner card had the same chipset.

TVtime gives me a message that there is no such directory as /dev/video0.
There are no other elements with "video" in name in /dev/. It works great on WindowsXP but I never had it working on lany Linux.

device details:
"Not Only Tv PCI Express Hybrid"
model: LV8H
chipset: Conexant CX23885
it's both an analog and dvb-t tuner
system: Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64
when I use lspci -v it seems that the device is detected by the system.

02:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23885 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 02)
Subsystem: Conexant Systems, Inc. Device ec80
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at fb000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M]

Kernel driver in use: cx23885
Kernel modules: cx23885

someone adviced me this might contain useful information

Try this:

It seems to say the card is /dev/dvb

And it suggests a very recent kernel, which you might find in Xubuntu 12.10,

Using: ~$ tvtime --device /dev/dvb made no difference.
No such directory as /dev/dvb

ls /dev http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Kpd3RGuL

also, I had Ubuntu 12.10 installed and the same problem. Will Installing Xubuntu 12.10 make any difference?

I'm pretty sure Ubuntu 12.10 and Xubuntu 12.10 use the same kernel. Was the kernel 3.5.5 or higher?

I've installed Xubuntu 12.10 (I wanted to try Xfce anyway) and "uname -r" says this:
3.5.0-19-generic

tvtime still not working.
No such directory as /dev/dvb
No such directory as /dev/video0
