HOWTO: Watch digital TV (Freeview)

[nab]

ok, I think I figured it out.

Just so i don't forget:

I followed this guides:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.ph...V-NOVA-T-Stick
(here I got the firmware)

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.ph...device_drivers
(here I follow the guide for 2.4 kernel to get the source, compile and install)

http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-d...er/022177.html
(here are the 3 changes in 2 files listed to get the card working)

with "sudo make unload" and "sudo modprobe dvb_usb_dib0700
" and "sudo modprobe dib0070" I got the modules loaded as needed. "dmesg" is showing the card is up and running.

I'm a new Ubunto 7.10 user and to get my Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA USB DVB-T stick to work, I followed tom56's HOWTO - great thanks!
But i can't get my IR remotecontrol to work - any ideas?

Hi all,

after the upgrade today I lost my ability to use my dvb-t-Stick.

Has anybody the same problem?

The kernel modules aren't anymore loaded.
TIA

My DVB-t tuner is still working.

well, I didn't find the error,

but reinstalling firmware and v4l-dvb
solved my problem

I got my DVB-T stick with product id 0x7070 up and running. Look at:

http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/lin...er/022177.html

to see how!

Bye,
Coco.

I have included this in the firmware package now

[tom56]

I have updated the howto and firmware bundle

Feel free to ask for help - make sure to include the output of dmesg from when you plug in your card (see tutorial).

hi, i have managed to lay my hands on a seemingly unnamed DVB USB stick, all it says is DVB-T 355U

I followed your guide, without the extra modules and the first time i started kaffeine it said it could not find a DVB stick. So I installed the modules:

bazgrant@bazgrant-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe cx88-dvb
FATAL: Error inserting cx88_dvb (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-dvb.ko): No such device
bazgrant@bazgrant-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe dvb-bt8xx
bazgrant@bazgrant-desktop:~$

i rebooted the usb stick and restarted kaffeine and manually turned on the DVB client option but still nothing.

Here is the result of dmesg|tail:

bazgrant@bazgrant-desktop:~$ dmesg|tail
[29507.664362] usb 3-5: USB disconnect, address 108
[29507.774588] usb 3-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 109

[29508.157934] usb 3-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[29508.158082] usb 3-5: USB disconnect, address 111

am i right in thinking that it has disconnected itself then and possibly the usb stick is faulty?

many thanks in advance

Try this:
sudo modprobe em28xx

And post the result

[baz.g]

that just seems to hang when i put in that command, if kaffeine is running at the same time:

bazgrant@bazgrant-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe em28xx
[sudo] password for bazgrant:

but if kaffeine isnt running i dont get any response whatsoever:

bazgrant@bazgrant-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe em28xx
bazgrant@bazgrant-desktop:~$

it also says cannot bind info socket when i enable the dvb client in kaffeine
