Hi. I've got a dvb-t card, a hauppauge nova-t 500, which is the one with two tuners and no hardware encoder/decoder. Well, I've read that it needs some work to make it work, but I still haven't managed. So here's what I've done. BTW, this is a debian stable box.
I have these firmwares: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9180 2005-05-01 23:26 dvb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30555 2009-02-02 13:05 dvb-fe-tda10045.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24478 2009-02-02 13:06 dvb-fe-tda10046.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34306 2007-09-10 11:09 dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw and I've put them in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and in /lib/firmware. If the right place is another one, I don't know. I also have these modules: tinglao:~# lsmod (snipped) saa7146 19848 2 budget_ci,budget_core dvb_usb_dib0700 12936 0 dib7000m 15620 1 dvb_usb_dib0700 dib7000p 13828 1 dvb_usb_dib0700 dvb_usb 21388 1 dvb_usb_dib0700 dvb_pll 15236 1 dvb_usb dib3000mc 13188 1 dvb_usb_dib0700 mt2060 6276 1 dvb_usb_dib0700 dvb_core 79656 4 dvb_usb,budget_ci,budget_core,stv0299 firmware_class 10752 4 dvb_usb,budget_ci,tda1004x,pcmcia i2c_core 25728 23 dib7000m,dib7000p,dvb_usb,dvb_pll,dib3000mc,dibx000_common,mt2060,it87,via686a,i2c_isa,lm87,tveeprom,budget_ci,lnbp21,budget_core,ttpci_eeprom,tda1004x,stv0297,stv0299,radeonfb,fb_ddc,i2c_algo_bit,i2c_piix4 usbcore 131336 6 dvb_usb_dib0700,dvb_usb,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd hwinfo knows that I have a card: 59: USB 00.0: 10a00 Hub [Created at usb.122] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_0_0_0000_02_09_0_if0 Unique ID: 2XnU.m9RqXITNupD Parent ID: t2XO.ZszXABOwfd6 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:02:09.0/usb5/5-0:1.0 SysFS BusID: 5-0:1.0 Hardware Class: hub Model: "Linux 2.6.22.1-reiser uhci_hcd UHCI Host Controller" Hotplug: USB Vendor: "Linux 2.6.22.1-reiser uhci_hcd" Device: "UHCI Host Controller" Revision: "2.06" Serial ID: "0000:02:09.0" Driver: "hub" Driver Modules: "usbcore" Speed: 12 Mbps Module Alias: "usb:v0000p0000d0206dc09dsc00dp00ic09isc00ip00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: usbcore is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe usbcore" Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #24 (USB Controller) The card is pci, but I've read somewhere that it uses some kind of pci-usb connection. And dmesg only shows this: saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'. Linux video capture interface: v2.00 I've added this rule for udev: KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c" And the script is: #!/bin/sh /bin/echo $1 | /bin/sed -e 's,dvb\([0-9]\)\.\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]\),dvb/adapter\1/\ 2\3,' This was from the kerne's documentation. And that's all. The only thing I haven't done is installing hotplug. but in debian, udev+hal+usbmount and hotplug conflict, so unless I know it will work, I won't change. Well, many people here have this working. So what am I missing?
