LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] dvb-T NOVA-T not working

I've the NOVA-T dvb Hauppage dongle 70019 which used to work on kernel 3.2 (Ubuntu 12.04). Upgrading to kernel 4.4 (Ubuntu 16.04), it no longer works. The lsusb output is:

Code:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2040:7070 Hauppauge Nova-T Stick 3

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

while the demsg |tail output is:

Code:

[  748.232913] usb 1-3: SerialNumber: 4034658530

[  748.237908] dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T Stick' in cold state, will try to load a firmware

[  749.399186] DiB0070: successfully identified

[  749.399200] dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T Stick successfully initialized and connected.

So everything seems OK but it doesn't work when I activate smplayer Version: 15.11.0.

I installed dvb-apps and sudo femon output is:

Code:

FE: DiBcom 7000PC (DVBT)

Problem retrieving frontend information: Resource temporarily unavailable

status      | signal  0% | snr  0% | ber 2 | unc -1218430384 |

Any idea as to why it doesn't work. Thanks for your help.
