Isn't still possible to use the Pinnacle PCTV 71e in linux?

I installed the latest v4l-dvb as explained in
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB_device_drivers
but this dvb-t stick is still not recognized.

I couldn't compile this driver in my linux, maybe because the kernel is old:

> make
make -C /tmp/af9015-2eb574241ebe/v4l
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/af9015-2eb574241ebe/v4l'

make[1]: *** [.config] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/af9015-2eb574241ebe/v4l'
make: *** [all] Error 2

But I was able to compile it in a kubuntu running in a virtual machine
in windows. Yes, now it recognizes the usb stick, and more or less
works. Kaffeine finds channels but then it only displays random lines
instead of the image.

With mplayer it's better, image is almost good, but it gets corrupted
(blocks appear) very often, which doesn't happen in Windows.

The main problem is that when mplayer is closed, the device doesn't
work anymore. It's like the /dev/dvb/* had gone. Unplugin and plugin
the stick doesn't fix the problem, it's necessary to reboot :(

Can you test again. I did some updates and hopefully it will fix that 
last problem.

Yes, that problem seems fixed. Thanks.

Still I'm getting the video (and audio) corrupted, could it be because
of the firmware? I used this one:

Thanks for testing.

No, it is no firmware issue. Firmware 4.95 is latest one and OK.

Can you say which tuner your device has? You can see that from 
message.log (dmesg). Please copy paste some lines.
