[linux-dvb] Re: problems getting Hauppage Nova-T to work with linuxtv-dvb

[Phil Space <phil_space2003@yahoo.co.uk>]

Many thanks for this - I'm now using dvb-kernel cvs
and I get the feeling I've nearly got it sorted now.

The modules seem to be loading now but when I try to
scan for channels, there are none. dmesg gives:

Jul 12 12:11:52 galileo kernel: tda1004x_init: Unable
to open firmware
/usr/lib/DVB/driver/frontends/tda1004x.mc

Can anyone tell me where I might find this mysterious
tda1004x.mc file? Does it come from some directory on
my windows partition?

Thanks again,

Phil
