[linux-dvb] Hauppage WinTV Nova-t USB

[Simon Cox <simoncox@zepler.net>]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble getting this card to work.  I'm using a 2.4.20 
kernel (gentoo) and trying to use the latest dvb-kernel driver.  
Everything compiles and after trial and error with the insmod script it 
seems that the board users the alps_tdmb7 tuner as this is the only 
module that creates a frontend device in the /dev/dvb/adapter0 directory.

When I try and scan (using the scan app in the linuxtv 1.0.0 download) I 
get the following output:

using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

dmesg shows the following:


Linux video capture interface: v1.00
usb.c: registered new driver Technotrend/Hauppauge USB-Nova
ttusb_init_controller: unknown STC version V 2.1, please report!

I read that the sc_main.mc file should come from the hauppage folder in 
windows. but it doesn't seem to exist.  I also read that my card should 
use one of the grundig tuners, but it doesn't create a frontend device.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Simon Cox
