Hi folks, I've borrowed a WinTV HVR-900 USB stick from a friend of mine to see if I can get any reception in my area before forking out for one however I've run in to a couple of problems and wondered if anyone had used one of these sticks?
The device appears to support both analogue and DVB-T (Freeview) TV however when I plug the device in it only appears to enable the analogue side of things (it comes up as /dev/video1 as I have a webcam on my laptop). I've downloaded and installed the firmware in /lib/firmware as per the instructions on the LinuxDVB web site and it appears to pick it up and I've even tried compiling the v4l-dvb drivers too which didn't appear to make any difference. Just to check it wasn't me going mad, I tried the dvb-utils scan utility and also Kaffene, both of which doesn't work (and I can't find a /dev/dvb directory either). If it helps, the output from /var/log/messages is here: http://pastebin.com/m34f1048f I just wondered if anyone else had one of these sticks actually working under Ubuntu 9.10? (I'm running kernel 2.6.31-16-generic-pae). Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
