Re: setting up a tevii s660

[william <william@cobradevil.org>]

Hello Tim,

i also have a tevii s660 which i cannot get to work properly.

i'm no programmer and nobody has given a reaction on my previous posts 
(debugging my tevii...).

I get this in my log after getting the source from the linuxtv site with 
the driver igor wrote:

in my previous post i got a message that an mt312 chip was found and now 
it does not find anything.
so now i don't have a dvb device at all.

the firmware is from the drivers from tevii. I tried and the s630 
firmware and later the s660 firmware renamed to s630 but none worked.

After installing the driver/changing the firmware, I shutdown the 
computer removed the power from the tevii device and then replugged and 
started my computer again.

if you need help testing i would be glad to help.

The tevii drivers are working and also detect the mt312 chip.
This driver does not, but i'm not very pleased about the driver from 
tevii because channel switch takes long and image quality is bad and my 
system get's slow/freezes.

With kind regards
