Re: Hauppage WinTv Nova-T USB stick problems..

I am using Fedora core 5, running on a via eden sp13000 motherboard/chip combo. I got the latest drivers from hg and built it about 2 weeks or so ago.

My kernel is (uname -a):

Linux lounge.localdomain 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 #1 Fri Nov 10 13:04:06 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

When I remove then plug in my Nova-T in I get the following:

kernel: usb 5-6: USB disconnect, address 4
kernel: dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T Stick successfully deinitialized and disconnected.
kernel: usb 5-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5

kernel: MT2060: successfully identified (IF1 = 1220)
kernel: dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T Stick successfully initialized and connected.

I can use scan once - and once only, and I managed to get one successful channel list which I new cherish as I've failed to get another one correctly. It would seem support for this stick is still very new and quite flaky

I am using freevo as my media center, I can use xine to watch tv, but quiting and trying to select another channel often fails, xine re-loads but just gives a black screen. Once this has happened I cannot do anything with the stick, until I unplug and replug it, at which point it will tune once, then fail.

I also have problems with tzap / dvbstream / dvbtraffic on the command line, which I have never got to work. I tune the card using tzap and get the following:

# ./tzap "BBC ONE"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/root/.tzap/channels.conf'
tuning to 706000000 Hz
video pid 0x0258, audio pid 0x0259
status 00 | signal ff5f | snr 0000 | ber 02000200 | unc 00008323 |

status 00 | signal ff5f | snr 0000 | ber 02000200 | unc 00008323 |

which looks promising, but dvbstream won't record anything and I end up with the following in my /var/log/messages:
and running dvbtraffic just outputs nothing.

mt2060 I2C read failed
last message repeated 230 times

Does anyone know how do I turn on debug information so I can track down whats wrong and send in a bug report?

Hello everyone,

I just downloaded and compiled the latest drives from linuxtv.org and I'm having problems. Hopefully someone can help me. I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 with kernel 2.6.17.

If I boot with the device attached I get the following errors:

usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/8, error -110
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/8, error -110
usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/8, error -110
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/8, error -110

If I then disconnect and reinsert the device, the following appears:

usb 3-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 3-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
dib0700: loaded with support for 2 different device-types
dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T Stick' in cold state, will try to load a firmware
dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw'
dib0700: firmware started successfully.
dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T Stick' in warm state.
dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer.
DVB: registering new adapter (Hauppauge Nova-T Stick).
DVB: registering frontend 0 (DiBcom 7000PC)...
MT2060: successfully identified (IF1 = 1220)
dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T Stick successfully initialized and connected.
usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_dib0700

It looks like the device has been correctly recognised and configured but when I try to use scan in the dvb-utils package I get the following error:

mt2060 I2C read failed

I would appreciate any help to get this device working on Linux as Hauppage's software is notoriously unreliable. If you need any other info then let me know.

Thanks in advance!
