Has anyone managed to get vdr to work with a Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-T USB2? I'm trying to add one to an existing system with a PCI DVB-T card and it just keeps on restarting because it cannot get a signal from the USB device which hotplug sets to /dev/dvb/adaptor0. Hotplug loads the firmware and all looks good.
Hi!
These days I am giving a try to vdr to consider switching from MythTV, and I found this problem too. I also saw that tzap + cat dvr0 worked fine, so I did a little debugging to check the differences in the DVB frontend configuration.
And the only different field was the inversion parameter. For whatever reason, the NOVA-T USB2 doesn't works with inversion off (I0), which is supposed to be always so in DVB-T. The same happens with tzap if you use INVERSION_OFF, the multiplex can't even get locked.
So, to make it work, use inversion auto (I999, or just don't add the I parameter). In the vdr wiki it says "please do NOT use 999", but I don't know who wrote it and why. Does anybody know the reason for this?
