[linux-dvb] Nova-USB problems

[David Mittelstädt <david@flowerz.de>]

Hi, i tried to get my nova-usb to work once again, but had no success. 
Once again the same strange things occured.
I am using Gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.0-test10 + gentoo patches) which is 
using the default test10 dvb-kernel. As usb driver i am using uhci, 
because i have an centrino laptop.  now when i load the ttusb and the 
frontend driver (compiled as modules), i get following in my syslog:

Nov 26 19:21:11 mobile hub 2-0:1.0: new USB device on port 1, assigned 
address 3
Nov 26 19:22:04 mobile ttusb_init_controller: dsp-version: 0.0
Nov 26 19:22:04 mobile DVB: registering new adapter 
(Technotrend/Hauppauge Nova-USB).
Nov 26 19:22:04 mobile DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (Grundig 29504-491, 
(TDA8083 based))...
Nov 26 19:22:06 mobile ttusb_init_controller: dsp-version: 0.0

(TDA8083 based))...
Nov 26 19:22:06 mobile drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver 
Technotrend/Hauppauge USB-Nova

When i go to /dev/dvb now, i get the following:

dm@mobile dvb $ ls -lR

It seems like the driver thinks i am using 2 cards, while i am using a 
single card. When i try to watch tv, with a proper compiled xine (with 
dvb plugin) i get the following:

dm@mobile dvb $ xine dvb://
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.9.22.
(c) 2000-2003 The xine Team.
Kompiliert mit xine Bibliothek 1.0.0 (1-rc2)
xine Bibliothek, Version 1.0.0 (1-rc2) gefunden.

input_dvb: 659 channels found.
input_dvb: channel 'RTL Television' freq 1588000 vpid 163 apid 104
input_dvb: status: 7
input_dvb: status: 1f

and xine locks up completly. If anyone got an idea, what to try, or how 
to solve this issue, i would be very thankful.
