Hi, I would like to able to see if my card is working before I get into the full mythtv install process, so I tried to install the modules as described in various howto's and documents that I have found, but I have not been able to get the frontend installed or get the device entries added to /dev/ or /udev as Ithink my machine has. I am running Mandrake 10.1 and I think that it is udev, someone will correct me I am sure..
Anyway her is what I have done, I found on one document that I needed to have dvb-ttpci-01.fw installed in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and another site said that I needed to have dvb-fe-tda10045.fw and yet another said that I needed tda1004x.mc, so I am a little confused as to what I need to have in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. However, when I run these commands as described on http://www.ethics-gradient.net/myth/mythdvb2.html modprobe v4l1-compat modprobe v4l2-common modprobe video-buf modprobe dvb-core modprobe tda1004x modprobe saa7146 modprobe saa7146_vv modprobe ttpci-eeprom modprobe budget modprobe budget-ci and look in dmesg for the results, I get half the answer expected, ie saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'. PCI: Found IRQ 3 for device 0000:00:0b.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 3 with 0000:00:0c.0 saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem f8bde000 (revision 1, irq 3) (0x13c2,0x1005). DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T PCI). TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T PCI adapter 0 has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:21:82:cd However I don't get the line saying that the front end was installed or detected. What can I do to rectify this please ?? Am I missing modules that I need to install ?? I am running Mandrake 10.1 with a 2.6 kernel and I am using a Hauppauge Nova-t card that "lspci -v" gives as a result this.. 00:0b.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH Technotrend-Budget / Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T DVB card Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 3 Memory at ed800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] I have tried to run kaffine, I realise that this isn't a kaffine list but at least it will give me an idication of the card working or not. I reports that if can't find the dev device, is that because the front-end isn't being initialised ?? Any help appriciated...Any more info required, please ask.
