Hello everybody,
I own this TV stick:
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Astrometa_DVB-T2
It uses different chips to decode DVB-T and DVB-T2 streams, the required
modules are rtl2832 and mn88473.
Up until linux 4.5 it worked correctly, in 4.6 only DVB-T works.
In 4.6 the mn88473 module isn’t loaded automatically and can’t be loaded
manually, since it doesn’t exist in the system.
In 4.6 the module has been moved from staging to dvb-frontends.
I tried to build it with
make M=drivers/media/dvb-frontends
which gave me *.ko files for the other frontends, but not for mn88473.
I attached the relevant output of dmesg.
Regards
Ferda
