Nova DVB-T PCI woes
I have the Hauppauge Nova-T PCI, Conexant chipset, which I am trying to install on a fresh SUSE 10.0 installation.
This works fine in the dual booted windblows installation, so I know there isn't anything wrong with the card or signal. YAST detects two devices, one driven by cx88_dvb (originally detected as Hauppauge Nova-T, but becomes 'user defined' after changing the sound card setting), the other CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port], driven by b2c2-flexcop. Scanning channels through YAST (PAL, europe-west) brings up 'PAL: Not found' & no results. Clicking on the tuner button in either device brings up 'no tuner available for the selected card' Kaffeine configure channels shows no signal, SNR of 50% and again, no channels. KDETV also finds no channels. I've searched through here to see if anyone has set this card up, it would seem they have, but nobody says (in terms I can understand!) how they did it! Please help! |
When running dvbscan, this is the output... any ideas?

I never scanned for channels - I just used a ready-made channels.conf file for my local transmitter that I found on the web. If you have such a thing you can tune the card directly using an application like tzap.
Otherwise I think you have to choose your transmitter and provide some initial configuration, as described in: http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/.../msg00524.html If uk-Blaenplwy is the correct signal source for you there appears to be a channels.conf at http://linux.mikeasoft.com/dvb/chann...vbt-blaenplwyf |
I managed to get the correct signal details (for Preseli, which is only a mile away) but still no joy.
I have looked in /dev/dvb/ and I have adapter0. In adapter0, ls lists: demux0 dvr0 frontend0 net is this correct or should there be more? lsmod produces Quote:

WAHEY! I've worked it out. The frequencies I've found for the area are wrong - but I've found out a way of getting the right ones. I'll be back later with a full description, but for now, I'm completing the channel selection:D
