Hi, I spend the whole weekend trying to get a hauppage nexus-s rev2.2 working with the dvb driver (tried different versions and kernels), did some google search and searched the mailing list but found nothing that really helped me.
On the card itself I saw that is was rev2.2 and trough some label on the tuner I see BSRU6 I am using Gentoo and the gentoo-2.6.3 kernel with linuxtv-dvb 1.1.1 driver, I also tried the driver included in the kernel as module. I downloaded the firmware from the dvb download page and copied to the hotplug firmware directory, I also tried with the firmware compiled in to the dvb_ttpci kernel module.

So I think all needed modules are loaded fine. I'm using Astra, So I copied the Astra channel conf to ~/.mplayer , ~/.xine and ~/.szap When testing with pmlayer I always get this error : Playing dvb://CNN.

Do I have to use another firmware (I sa when using an older driver that the kernel message sais someting like : detected rev2.1 or 2.2, latest driver doesn't say anything about rev2.2) I'm also using a pvr350 that works fine and did use a bttv787 card that worked fine so 4vl is working fine I think. (I pulled the bttv card out at the moment, I did test without the pvr350 card to) All help and info is welcome.
