Hi all,
I have bought a Hauppauge Nova-TD Stick few days ago, but I am having
problems to get the channels.
According to 'dmesg', the card is recognized (even with the kernel
bundled modules, but to be sure I downloaded the latest modules with
'hg'):
[ 137.485145] dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-TD Stick/Elgato Eye-TV
Diversity' in cold state, will try to load a firmware

[ 138.409359] dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-TD Stick/Elgato Eye-TV Diversity

I first tried to scan for the channels with a scan file found in
'/usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/', but without success.
$ scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/it-Venezia

So far I give it the benefit of doubts since I do not really live
in Venice, but in another city in the same region (Vicenza in
specific). So I tried to do the scan with 'w_scan':
$ w_scan -f t -i 0 -F -t 3 -o 4 -R 1 -T 1 -O 1 -E 1 -X -v>
~/.tzap/channels.conf

As you can see, it found only three channels and for the rest it reports
'Info: filter timeout pid'. Now, the Hauppauge Nova-TD Stick should
support digital aerial signal, but not only it does not find
any digital aerial channel, it does not even find any national analogue
channel (like "Rai Uno, "Rai Due", etc. - the three found are local
channels, and they are not even the all available).
I tried to do a 'dvbsnoop' scan; since the output is too long, I have
uploaded it to a site of mine:
http://marcodifresco.interfree.it/marco/misc/dvbsnoop-result.txt
I tried to search for channels with Kaffeine, but it finds the same
three channels (and actually two times each channel).
I have read on a forum (I cannot find the link now) that if only few
signals are found it is because the signal has too much strength and it
is necessary to use a 6db attenuator; I have found it today, but it did
not solved the problem (actually I am doing further tests since it is a
0-20db attenuator with a wheel to regolate the attenuation).
I have done all the tests with both the small antennas provided with the
stick and with the roof antenna. I know that the roof antenna is
working because I was using it with a regular television and with
an AverMedia AverTV USB 2.0 Plus under Windows (too bad I migrated to
Linux after only a couple of month from the purchase and it was not
supported).
I am using Kubuntu 8.04 64 bits with kernel 2.6.25.3 (I just upgraded it
today, until yesterday I was using 2.6.24.7, with the same results). I
have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 on a ECS PN2 SLI2+ Extreme nForce 680i
SLI, EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800 GTX, 2 GB (4x512MB) DDR2 800 of
RAM.
Now, usually I do not make pressure for help (especially to whom is
doing a good job for free), but I have bought the stick Monday and here
in Italy we have only 7 days to bring the stuff back for a refund (if we
are not satisfied - if it is actually broken we have 1 year warranty by
law), so I have only tomorrow (Friday) evening available for further
testing; if I have to bring it back, I have to do it Saturday morning
since on the afternoon and on Sunday the store is closed --- as I
mentioned I have already wasted money on an AverMedia AverTV USB 2.0
Plus that I used for only a couple of month under Windows (since I have
then I migrated to Linux...) and I have no intentions to add a 79,90
Euro device to the pile of junk in the attic. :-(
Thank in advance. :-)
