Integrated technology dvb-t tuner dongle doesn't work on PP 3.2 new build?
hi this is my first post. i have just built my precise pangolin 12.04 LTS and wanted to use MythTv to watch digital tv however there was no plug & pray and despite running lsusb which shows it is there it is not found
it9015 & 7 firmware is present, v4l media library applied but i still cannot get it to find it
any help gratefully recieved, but please remember i am a newbie to this
ps i know it is not the dvb-t tuner dongle as that works perfectly on windows
Hi and welcome,
By what isn't your device found, only MythTv? The most important part is if a /dev/dvb/ device exists.
Seeing you mention lsusb, posting the relevant output would help a lot. Check the dmesg output for any possible errors.
the command neede to check the existence is "ls" just run
Code:
ls /dev/dvb/*
in a console. But since your device isn't found by anything, I'd guess that it doesn't exist.
Could you post the relevant lsusb output? Google hasn't found anything dvb-related using it9015 as a keyword. Would you mind posting a link to your product?
To explain what I'm trying to do here : I'm trying to get enough information about your device to assert whether it is supported under linux or not. The best case scenario is that there will be a perfect match on this page. If not, an usbid match is usually enough. From that page you can also get information about the kernel version your device became supported in.
Hi I have 2 DVB-T tuners and neither work on Linux PP but both work on windows I must be doing something wrong
Here are the details you request from the one I would most like to work
root@craig-desktop:/home/craig# sudo -s
root@craig-desktop:/home/craig# ls /dev/dvb/*
ls: cannot access /dev/dvb/*: No such file or directory

this doesn't seem to work either
alas i'm very new to linux so all help gratefully recieved
I've given up with the ITE DVB-T tuner and since it seems to recognise the YUAN EC300 DVB-T tuner card i ran w-scan
which resulted in going thru all the channels and ending with this
First off : make sure which version of the tuner you have; the page specifies that version 2 of the Zolid tuner is only supported since version 3.4; an update might be needed. If you're not sure about the firmware, and in the case you decide for an update, here is a quick guide for it.
For your second tuner : you mentioned you had windows; does it manage to scan something there? Try connecting it to a better antenna.
FYI : specifying which country you are in will shorten the scan period. (w_scan -c <country_code>).
TUNER1
on the Zolid tuner i guess it could be version 2, linux doesn't tell me but i have been back to original packaging which alas also doesn't tell me
i did follow the instructions you mention earlier but the it9137.fw firmware instructions don't work
./get_dvb_firmware it9137
says not recognised so is there anywhere else i can get the firmware from?
can i upgrade to 3.4 with ubuntu i wonder?
TUNER2
swapped aerial and added a booster
tried using w_scan -c GB but it still ends with
the tuner2 not being able to find anything is really weird. Try looking through logs and the module debug info (if you're up to it) to figure out if there is a problem in the driver.
