Hello.

I got a dvb-t usb-stick "elgato eyetv dtt deluxe v2" as a birthday gift. Sadly, I found nothing about a hint to make this stick work in linux. Drivers and Programs are only for windows and mac os x. Can somebody give me a hint how to make this work in ubuntu?
I've tried all versions including karmic.

Regards
nightwing

Hi.

I put it in a "dmesg.txt" and make it an attachment.

Can you disconnect this and do dmesg again, see if it change the output?

Ok. Did it. But please not, that the elgato dvb-t usb-stick is NOT on the initio USB-Hub but direct on an usb port on the notebook.

I was hoping for a miracle :)
Is it any change that you can "warm it up" in other OS, Windows?
Then plug it in Ubuntu and do dmesg.

??? Can you please explain me, what you mean with "warm it up"?

In windows, it works.

Just use it in Windows, then disconnect it and plug it in ubuntu and do dmesg.
You can actuality feel it is warm.

This is not possible, because when I will test it in windows, I will have to restore an system image (by image for linux) and when I did I will have to restore the ubuntu system image. I have no dual boot!

sudo modprobe em28xx

sudo modprobe em28xx-dvb
and do dmesg

Then we try:

sudo modprobe dvb_core
Last dmesg, you got:

[ 338.895603] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 339.260880] em28xx v4l2 driver version 0.1.0 loaded
[ 339.261962] usbcore: registered new interface driver em28xx
[ 348.088570] Em28xx: Initialized (Em28xx dvb Extension) extension
You need frontend, do (just copy/paste here):

dmesg | grep dvb
If you have restart the computer:

sudo modprobe em28xx
sudo modprobe em28xx-dvb
sudo modprobe dvb_core

Sorry, but this does not change anything.
lsusb still shows no driver beyond the port and me-tv does not recognize any dvb unit.

dmesg grep shows

Em28xx: Initialized (Em28xx dvb Extension) extension
