Hi everyone
I have a Conexant CX24120/CX24118 dvb-s tv card under Ubuntu 17.10 64X system.I think its allready installed.
But there is no device called /dev/video0 and most of the softwares are working with this device how could we activate this device?
Code:
$ uname -a
Linux whynot-Bus 4.13.0-21-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 18 17:29:16 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Won't work. Would you be able you help me if I told you I couldn't get to work today? No. You would ask why, what happened.
So I'm asking, how it does not work. Error messages when started from a terminal. Did you use any DVB command line utilities to test your device? You may need to install dvbutils or dvbtools or whatever it is called in Ubuntu. Please, make it a little bit easier to help you.
ok Kaffeine recognizes the conexant device but when I try to Search Satellite Channels it gives error called device not found.
Code:
$ sudo apt install dvb-tools dvb-apps

You do not need to build any drivers, at least for now. Did you notice your card needs several kernel modules loaded? It looks like for some reason not all drivers are loaded. You could use a live multimedia-oriented Linux CD to boot and get the listing with lsmod.
