Hi All,
I can't get this digital tv tuner to work - although i think i am close.
So far i have installed linux-firmware-nonfree
Then when i plug in the tuner it's recognized: (/var/log/messages)

I've tried this on several aerials (including the roof one that we watch all our HDTV on with the STB in the lounge) and the same results - a slightly different SnR (47-50%).
The remote works perfectly (volume up/down power off etc). If i open Me TV and use a channels.conf that i found on the net for Brisbane - it just freezes for a bit - then fails with a "timeout while reading"
Any suggestions?
Seems like i am close.....
