Dear all, I think this is a bug. In summary: I have a Hauppauge Nova-T 500 dual-tuner DVB-T PCIcard that is not recognised by the DVB driver because it has astrange USB ID. When the source is edited to force recognitionof the card as a Nova-T 500, it works. I had some spare time this weekend so decided to upgrade the OSon the house MythTV box, add a DVB-T tuner card, and swaparchitecture to amd64 distribution from i386. I now have Debian4.0 (etch) for amd64, running the current stable 2.6.18-5-686kernel. Following the linuxtv wiki page for this card, Idownloaded the driver with mercurial and compiled itagainst my kernel. I needed to create a symlink from/lib/modules/2.6.18-5-amd64/source to /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-amd64/buildas the driver expected 'source', otherwise the build and installwas clean and smooth. dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw is in place. Iam in the United Kingdom and therefore am using PAL-I. BTW I know I have an early-ish model Nova-T, definitely not the"Diversity" card. FWIW these are the markings on my card: WinTV-NOVA-T-500DVB-T 99101 LFRev D8B5 Initially the card doesn't work. When dvb-usb-dib0700 ismodprobed, this all that appears in dmesg: dib0700: loaded with support for 5 different device-typesusbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_dib0700 That's it, just the two lines. Searching around this problem, thepenny dropped when I saw talk about a change to the USB ID of theNova-T cards with the unsupported "Diversity" revision - my carddoesn't have a Hauppauge ID it seems: $ lsusbBus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000Bus 005 Device 002: ID 10b8:0066 DiBcomBus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000Bus 003 Device 002: ID 413c:2003 Dell Computer Corp.Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 (Verbose lsusb output below. DiBcom is thecard obviously, theother item is a USB keyboard.) Back to the source, I edited linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h sothat card 10b8:0066 is recognised as a Hauppauge Nova-T 500.When recompiled, the driver now recognises and initialises thecard and /dev/dvb is populated correctly. dmesg now looksnormal: dib0700: loaded with support for 5 different device-typesdib0700: firmware started successfully.dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T' in warm state.dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer.DVB: registering new adapter (Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T)DVB: registering frontend 0 (DiBcom 3000MC/P)...MT2060: successfully identified (IF1 = 1220)dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer.DVB: registering new adapter (Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T)DVB: registering frontend 1 (DiBcom 3000MC/P)...MT2060: successfully identified (IF1 = 1220)input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input2dvb-usb: schedule remote query interval to 150 msecs.dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T successfully initialized and connected.usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_dib0700 I can now scan for channels, tune in with tzap and watch aprogramme with mplayer, so I conclude the card would be OK if thedriver included the relevant ID in dvb-usb-ids.h.
