Re: Problems with Afatech af9005

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey, I have the exact same USB chip (Afatech af9005), same OS (Ubuntu 7.04), possibly different architecture (I'm on PPC), but I have had no problems whatsoever with the card.

The only thing I could suggest is that there isn't a signal for it to pickup, I find the little tiny antenna that shipped with mine picks up next to nothing.

when you first open the device it tries to access the tuner.

You're not the first one reporting problems with scan and the af9005,
unfortunately  I couldn't find if is there an error in the driver at the
time, and I cannot test it now since my stick doesn't work (the
manufacturer promised me a sample a couple of months ago but I haven't
received it yet).
*However* the device should work once you have a channels.conf.
When it worked, I used it with vdr and it managed to pull the complete
channel list from a few seed channels.

There's no released driver yet, but the af9015 is an usb2.0 device, so
you could use it to get the whole TS or HD channels. You cannot do that
with the af9005.
