Can you explain it more. What is "the right module" ? I have 2 dvb card, one nova-s and one nova-t. with szap i can use my nova-t. With vdr no success, i have "unavailable channel" when i switch to dvb-t channel. Plz help...
For the Nova-S I hadn't built the stv0299 module at first, and then it wasn't installed after I thought I'd built a new kernel because recent versions of make-kpkg don't seem to automatically rebuild after changing something unless you delete its stamp files first.
For the Nova-T the front-end requires tda1004x and also a firmware file called dvb-fe-tda10045.fw; /usr/src/linux/Documentation/dvb contains a script to fetch it. If you haven't installed the firmware you'll get the "Channel unavailable" message as above, and you'll also see "tda1004x: firmware upload failed" in dmesg.
This depends on the model; some Nova-Ts have a completely different chipset, usually cx88 I think. I had another card which used that, it also needs some analog v4l drivers before the DVB drivers can be enabled. I'm not using it ATM because I've only got 2 PCI slots.
The modules the Nova-T and Nova-S are using between them are:
stv0299 tda1004x budget_ci budget_core saa7146 ttpci_eeprom ir_common dvb_core
