I am new to this list, and although I have scanned the archive for the past month or so to look for an answer, I haven't found it. I have just purchased a pair of freecom usb2.0 dvb-t tuners, with the aim of setting up a mythtv backend on my Debian Etch server. As this server has an important role doing other jobs I don't want to disrupt it too much by changing to another distribution, but I can get it quite deep into configuring it if necessary. I also purchased a pci usb2.0 card which these devices plug into. I mention that because someone has questioned whether there is sufficient power to drive them - and I don't know the answer, but the devices do get quite warm quite quickly when I plug them in - although this is a stable condition, I have left them plugged in for 3 days with no ill effects that I can determine. Part of my problem is I don't know what is expected to happen when I plug in (for now) just one of the devices. Most of the documentation implies that hotplug will take care of it, but in Debian Etch hotplug has been depreciated in favour of udev. What happens at the moment is that the following appears in syslog usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 usb 1-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice and a new device appears in /sys directory with vendor id 14aa and product id of 0225. This is close to, but not identical to ids listed for a freecom device in http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_USB I have tried modprobe dvb-usb-dtt200u, and apart from usb-core registering it Sep 2 08:03:03 roo kernel: usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_dtt200u there is nothing else in the dmesg buffer or syslog and there are no new devices in the /dev directory. I have downloaded three versions of firmware (dvb-usb-wt220u-01.fw dvb-usb-wt220u-02.fw dvb-usb-wt220u-zl0353-01.fw) and put them in /lib/firmware, and made /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware a symlink to the same directory. I see no evidence that they are even being used. Where do I go from here? -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
