Hi
I recently got a few of the Hauppauge nova-t stick devices. I tried using
the latest source from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb and the /~pb/v4l-dvb
trees but I always get "no frontend was attached". I'm running Ubuntu 6.10
powerpc on a mac mini.
dmesg output:
[ 611.770214] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address

[ 612.816285] dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T Stick successfully initialized and

I assume the numbers on the device itself have some sort of meaning so the
first line is:
M/R:70001/A1B5 #3006
The second line changes between devices but its along the lines of
000DFE0A84D2 LF
Can I provide any additional information or help in order to help work out
why this doesn't work?
Many thanks,
Dave

Dave,
It's the same type of stick that I've got - same problem as I see.
If you turn on debugging by adding 'options dvb_usb_dib0700 debug=1' to
the /etc/modprobe.conf. (or whatever, try /sbin/modinfo dvb_usb_dib0700
and it'll print out the parameters that it uses), you may get the same
as I do:
I2C read failed on address 9
DiB7000M:i2c read error on 896
DiB7000M:-E- DiB7000M: wrong Vendor ID (read=0x4602)
dvb-usb: no frontend was attached by 'Hauppauge Nova-T Stick'
I emailed Patrick Boettcher and this list describing the problem. (I
actually bought the stick when he announced preliminary support ;(.
Patrick seems to have access to the specs for the DibCom 7000 or the
frontend. (I think that he may work with/for DibCom), but he appears to
be very busy. I wish companies would open up their specs a bit more. I
could spend time reading them rather than waiting for someone to have
some free time to work on it. I mustn't grumble though at least some
progress has been made.
So as it stands it doesn't work.
Steve
