I have gone through several iterations of loading ubuntu's 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP and using Markus' http://mcentral.de/empia/20080804/empia-hardy-generic-i386-latest.deb package. From experience mixing v4l from any of the howtos on the linuxtv site or at mcentral yield a non-functioning video setup; neither scan, kaffeine, nor analog tvtime work.
The best I have done is get tvtime to work with sox and Markus' driver package above with a clean load of 2.6.24-19-generic. The best way I have found to get back to a working configuration is to boot an alternative kernel (I always have a spare :), remove the non- functioning kernel packages (and rm lefotvers if needed), then re- install the packages again. Time consuming, but guaranteed results. The v4l Makefile has a "remove", which along with reinstalling Markus' .deb package should work (followed by a depmod -a), but I prefer a clean slate. I woud like to know how to get ATSC in the states working on the HVR-950; ubuntu's scan (dvbscan) and w_can do not seem to work,, although the /dev/dvb files are there. Response is: # w_scan -a 0 w_scan version 20080105 -_-_-_-_ Getting frontend capabilities-_-_-_-_ -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ ERROR: Sorry - i couldn't get any working frequency/transponder Nothing to scan!! dumping lists (0 services) Done. Any thought on the dvb side would be appreciated. I would be happy to provide detailed information. BTW;platform is EeePC 901.
