Re: Tuning doesn't work with Wideview driver

Hi, I have a card with the same ID, mine is Freecom one. I do not use mine as it screws up my system (keyboard stops working, other USB peripherals stop working, kernel oopses,...), however, I had similar tuning problems. I found that editing the initial tuning data worked. I think I adjusted all values by 167k, and that seemed to make it work fine, so try adding or subtracting that value from the values in the initial file /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/es-Alfabia (make a new file), and see if that helps.

Good luck,

Benjie.

Hi

I recently purchased a Redbell TDT-2Go DVB-T USB stick, as it appeared as Linux-compatible at linuxtv.org Wiki (Wideview driver, USB ID 14aa:0226). I've compiled and installed the latest CVS version of the dvb v4l drivers, and placed the right firmware into the right directory, and it gets loaded successfully.

The problem is that, despite the stick is correctly recognized, tuning with the scan utility fails miserably. The output is as follows:

I've tried with different kernel versions (Ubuntu Dapper 2.6.15, Ubuntu Edgy 2.6.17), with the same results. I even downloaded a live-CD version of Ubuntu Edgy in order to isolate from other possible problems, with no success.

Looking at system logs, the only strange things are some kind of -110 error, and a udevd_event error, but the rest seems ok. Here's the dmesg output when the stick is inserted:

Well, I don't know what to try next, I would thank any advice. The situation is specially frustrating since I purchased this model because it was explicitly stated as Linux-compatible, so I would thank any advice.

Thanks in advance
