Hello, just signed up to the forum looking for a little help with something...
I'm running Xubuntu 12.10 Quantal on my Joggler, and i'm trying to setup my WinTV Aero dvb-t tuner...
dmseg reported that the firmware wasn't loading correctly
Relevant lsusb line:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 2040:c000 Hauppauge
Relevant dmesg output:
[ 8747.520107] usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
[ 8747.654106] usb 1-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 8747.655765] usb 1-6: firmware: requesting sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw
[ 8747.660939] smscore_set_device_mode: error -2 loading firmware: sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw, trying again with default firmware
[ 8747.660953] usb 1-6: firmware: requesting dvb_nova_12mhz_b0.inp
[ 8747.670090] smscore_set_device_mode: error -2 loading firmware: dvb_nova_12mhz_b0.inp
[ 8747.670098] smsusb_init_device: line: 383: smscore_start_device(...) failed
anyway, I updated the firmware file by downloading the hauppage drivers and performing the following:
$ wget http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/drivers/WinTV- ... 7_WHQL.zip
$ unzip -j WinTV-MiniStick_4_2_26_28027_WHQL.zip driver17/hcw17dvb.1b0
$ sudo mv hcw17dvb.1b0 /lib/firmware/sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw
That seemed to resolve the firmware issue, dmesg now registers the device with the firmware instead of the error -2 i was getting.
However, I still can't get any output from the tuner... I've tried VLC and meTV, neither will display anything, meTV reports there's no tuner available?
I'm wondering if there's anything the Xubuntu joggler image could be missing that i'll need?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
