Directions can be found here: > > http://linuxtv.org/repo > Okay, i installed the latest drivers+the firmware of the device using extract_xc3028.pl, the device seems to be detected now, i can detect all the analog TV of my cable using tvtime, but manually, i mean i had to disable signal detection when scanning, otherwise i got no results, since the picture quality is terrible. Of course i'm sure that all the connections (cable to antenna, cable to the usb stick, ...) are correct, since it works with my old PC equipped with a PCI TV card. Any advice, what could be the problem? firmware? since you said (you added support for this device) should i open a bug report? is this device reported as working by other users? Please help if possible, almost two weeks with no real success. > Cheers, > > Devin > > Cheers, Ali.
