Hi Community

I am struggling to enjoy DVB-T on my AverTV E506 PCMCIA card. It seams
I'm doing something terribly wrong but I cannot find the solution on my
own. I am grateful for any help provided.

What I did so far:

I'm running Gentoo with a 2.6.24-r8 kernel on my Centrino Laptop. I have
selected "Video for Linux" (nothing else, no cards, no frontends, no
chips..) as a module in my kernel configuration and compiled the
"v4l-dvb" drivers from the mercurial repository. I also have obtained
the (hopefully) correct firmware for my card.

Well when I plug the PCMCIA device in this is what dmesg shows me:

pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 1
PCI: Enabling device 0000:04:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)

Analog TV works with this setup, but I have no signs of DVB-T. No
/dev/dvb devices are created although the module for the Zarlink tuner
"mt352" is autoloaded when the card is inserted.

Apparently I'm missing something.

Any hints?

Best regards

Luke

which program are you using for TV (I'm using kplayer that runs mplayer)

This one seems to be OK.

---------------------------------------

Hi 

With respect, I think the /dev/vbi0 device is responsible for teletext (videotext).
I require the whole /dev/dvb/adapter0/ structure to use dvbscan for channel scanning.
Currently I'm dissecting the driver source code, adding debug messages to certain section (pretty lame, I know but I'm out of options).

As far as I can tell "mt352_attach" gets called. I'm working on finding the weak spot.

regards

Luke
