Hi again. I decided to reinstall everything and try from scratch, just to be sure that I get the steps right.
Turns out my wintv-pvr usb2 works out of the box with the kernel drivers and firmware, with kind of choppy image though. (which could mean I should get the firmware from the cdrom, right????) Trying to extract firmware using fwextract.pl (version from the link) does not work. When I try to run the manual extraction I still get stuck at this point $ echo "cpufw fetch" > /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-8674305/debugmd bash: /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-8674305/debugmd: Permission denied $ sudo 'echo "cpufw fetch" > /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-8674305/debugmd' sudo: echo "cpufw fetch" > /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-8674305/debugmd: command not found $ sudo su [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/svein# echo "cpufw fetch" > /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-8674305/debugcmd bash: /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-8674305/debugcmd: Permission denied There is no file named debugcmd in that directory if there is supposed to be?

I see you did sudo there however it didn't do what you think. The 'sudo echo "cpufw done" part was run as root but the output redirection - which is the critical part - probably was picked up by your normal shell and that's not root. Try surrounding the entire thing (i.e. everything after "sudo") in quotes. > > I am no expert, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I think I am > running the standalone version of the driver.

To see what version you are running, look at your dmesg output shortly after the driver is loaded. Look for a message of a form similar to this: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 MPEG2 Encoder/Tuner : test (from www.isely.net) That's a test build from my dev area (thus the word "test"). You'll see something else there depending on the driver type. > > I am running Ubuntu Feisty, i saw a previous post where people had > managed to make it work out of the box.

If you hadn't extracted the firmware yet then how is that possible? Did you get the firmware in there some other way and not realize it? -Mike On 8/24/07, Svein Lindal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I just got a wintv pvr usb2 from Amazon.com the model nr: > > 24022 LF rev E1A3 NTSC/NTSC-J > > is not on the list of previously registered devices, and running the > fwextract.pl script did not yield any result.
