Hi!
Since this is my first message, have a look at my local equipment:
Mobo : ASUS CPU : Athlon XP 2600 RAM : 512 MByte Video: nVIDIA GeForce MX/MX 400 (nVIDIA 3D driver) Sound: 1.) Onboard (inactiv) 2.) Soundblaster 16 digital (system and TV-sound) 3.) M-Audio Delta Audiophil 2496 (audio editing) TV : 1.) Hauppauge Nexus S (satellite) 2.) Terratec 1200 DVB-T PCI (terrestial)
One and a half year ago or so I started my first vdr-installation on SuSE 8.2 and with the Hauppauge Nexus only, downloading the sources of dvb-driver, vdr and kvdr.
Later, under SuSE 9.1 and now 9.3, I used the delivered system. The Hauppauge Nexus S was detected automatically.
Now I bought the budget Terratec 1200 DVB-T PCI, which, as the VDR-WIKI told me, should be fine in conjunction with the fullfeatured Nexus. And it is!

The only dvb-ttpci-01.fw on my system is a symbolic link to one of the actual firmware-files
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-ttpci-01.fw -> /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-ttpci-01.fw-261d
The other firmware-file resides in the same location
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-ttpci-01.fw-261d
I got the appropriate firmware for the Terratec through the help of a perl script 'get_dvb_firmware' located in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/dvb/
To access the local DVB-T channels in Hamburg, I filled the appropiate channels list from VDR-WIKI into my
/etc/vdr/channels.conf
Most of these stations come in clear, without one bouquet (NDR). But this in another message.
