Greetings,
recently I've bought a TeVii S471 dvb card, 'cause on the Linux TV Wiki
says it is fully supported by the kernel since 3.5.X.
Drivers are all present (cx23885, ds3000, ts2020) and inserting them
into the kernel works just like it should.
I've downloaded the firmware blob from the TeVii web site and copied it
to /lib/firmware, too.
But loading up the firmware does not work at all, when I try to run a tv
scan.
dmesg says:
[ 634.381154] cx23885 driver version 0.0.3 loaded

[ 669.591149] ds3000_firmware_ondemand: Waiting for firmware upload(2)...
And so on and on, it is just stuck in kind of a loop, no success in
loading the firmware at all. Ever.
I've tried a different variety from kernels, ranging from 3.8, 3.9 up to
3.13 - always no luck at all.
I am unable to get that damn firmware blob uploaded to the tv card for
good.
So I do need help; what else could I try to finally get that card up and
running under Linux?
Google just gave me a whole variety of different solutions, but no one
seemed to work so far.
Thanks in advance,
Marc
