DigitalNow Quad DVB-T Tuner Card and Linux, it is working Options

Or maybe not. All I'm hearing are reasons to make sure my next M/B purchase is not a Gigabyte:

"As we mentioned on the driver download page of GIGABYTE website, due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, we do not receive proper driver from chipset vender, we cannot guarantee Linux to work on our system.

Therefore, kindly make sure you install genuine version Windows OS with latest windows update. If you still have problem, please provide us the screen shot of the error message and also in what step will the problem occur, what utility had you installed. After receiving such detail, our engineer will try to see how we can assist further to this case."

Yes I got a similar response from them, but didn't post it.

I agree, it all points to not buying a Gigabyte board. Lets see what Asus have on offer.

Hi James,

Try the updated version like this (in a fresh check-out):

CODE

hg clone -b current https://bitbucket.org/themagicpudding/rtl2832_2836_2840 current
cd current
sudo bash rtl2832build

Hope that helps.

Thanks Magic, that new version worked first-go, thanks a lot!

My Quad is running without problems now for ~2 days.
All 4 adapters are working, although I haven't had 4 different multiplexes tuned at the same time for more than a few minutes.

My setup is; Ubuntu 11.04, kernel 2.6.38-11-generic 64bit.
HTS Tvheadend 2.12 (from lonelycoder PPA), on a stand-alone XBMC install (from unstable team-xbmc PPA, not a PVR build.).
Running on a Gigabyte E350N-USB3 with Intel X25-M SSD.
I only use the Quad (via tvheadend) to record stuff, which I watch as "videos" via XBMC.

I'm not sure what revision my gigabyte board is, but I haven't updated the bios and haven't had any compatibility issues with it (with Ubuntu, never tried anything else.).
So I can confirm the E350N-USB3 is probably (maybe) a safe buy

I got the gigabyte to temporarily replace an ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe which died after a few days (I'm sure it was just a manufacturing fault, they really look & feel top quality.). The gigabyte has performed well enough that I still haven't bothered claiming warranty on the ASUS .

Hi James,
Good to hear that it's all good on that board. I am quiet interested to find out how both boards cope with HD video. A lot of forums are saying that both AMD and Intel solutions don't cope real well?

How is it?

It is a Intel i5, running 64bit mythbuntu 11.04

I ran updates to get the latest kernel etc.

With some research, might be V4L problem

Thanks in advance

Hi again folks,

I got it working by manually running the build script inside the

/media_build directory after running magic's build

it seems that if you have a vanilla install it doesn't like it?

something to do with:

./scripts/make_myconfig.pl

"themagicpudding"

I was thinking of doing a complete "from vanilla" install guide, that could become a sticky at the top of the forum?

Your thoughts?

Scott

[Scott Waller]

Hi guys,

Just reporting back on my experiences with the Asus board.

I am very happy to say that things work extreamly well. In fact I just ran a test recording 12 shows at once, it went well.

Perfect picture on all recording and live tv.

Now what to do with the Gigabyte board......

The current setup is:

ASUS P8H61-I
4 Gig Ram
Intel i5-2400

thanks again magicpudding

Hi magic,

I've just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, but cannot build the modules. I'm quite certain the reason is that I have a server version of Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit installed. So, my kernel version is 2.6.38-11-server instead of 2.6.38-11-generic. Any idea what needs to be changed to get this working?

Here's what happens when I attempt to build it.

Hi Slith,

I had the same issue if you see a few posts up. It's something to do with V4L build and magics script (I think).

To fix it, what I did was:

Once your inside magic's "current" directory:

CODE

cd media_build/

Then

CODE

sudo ./build

Let V4l do it's thing, it will take a while as it only uses one of your CPUs
(magic's script uses all your CPUs in his script...very cool)

Once it finishes:

CODE

cd ..

Then

CODE

sudo bash rtl2832build

Should be all good.

You are right. I did what you said and it is all good. Thanks for your help

Sorry about that guys. I noticed I had missed a step in the script.

I've updated it now so with any luck anyone starting afresh won't have this issue.

Hi magic,

I just upgraded another MythTV box using this quad tuner card from 10.10 to 11.04 and when trying to build had the same problem as above. I had to follow the same extra steps from a couple of posts above to get it to work. Not a complaint, just letting you know that I don't think the fix works. I'm presuming that each time I run the hg command it grabs the latest version from bitbucket.org. It can't be an old copy in a web cache as you are using https to obtain the source. I have zero experience with Mercurial.

Once compiled, the card works just fine. The next step is to see if the remote control works. That would be excellent. I am so happy with this card, it is working brilliantly. Thanks for making this easy to install on 11.04.

It sounds like from some of the previous posts this should also work just fine on 11.10. Can anyone confirm that they have tried this on 11.10 64-bit? I just want to be absolutely sure before I upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10.

Cheers.

That's with a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 32-bit and an MSI Divivox Mini II that gives an lsusb response of...

i.e. with the Rtl2832UDVB chipset

I'd stick with 11.04 to be safe if I were you.

Hi mate,

It's not so much about 11.10, but about a fresh install.

If you follow post 90 on the work around, things should work fine.

A fresh install of what? I followed the instructions of post #90 and, at the last stage of 'sudo bash rtl2832build', it gives the error...

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/andy/current/media_build/v4l'
* loading the dvb_usb_rtl2832u module...
FATAL: Error inserting dvb_usb_rtl2832u (/lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-rtl2832u.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Hopefully a list of adapters follows:
ls: cannot access /dev/dvb: No such file or directory

IOW I followed the initial instructions that came with the software and had the error. I then followed the amended instructions in port #90 and STILL got the error. It's made no difference.

The problem seems to be during the compilation process when it goes to stage 2 IIRC, (it goes past quite quickly), when it throws out some warning messages about undefined symbols including __udivdi3 and some others which are the same problem when I look at my dmesg output below...

Have you tried a distclean from the media_build directory?

I am upgrading to 11.10 64bit right now.

Let you know how it goes.

i.e. it's exactly the same.

I'm wondering if there's a difference between the 64-bit and 32-bit version I'm using? I say that because of this web page.

Hello.

I had exactly the same problem after running ./build but after rebooting I verified that my USB dongle was detected correctly. Just run dmesg from a terminal after connecting the DVB card and you should see some messages like these ones:

CODE

I am using a MSI Digivox mini II v3.0 with Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.

Thank you to all that helped in this post. My DVB card was working OK with Ubuntu 11.04 but after updating to 11.10 I was not able to use it again, until I found this post.

[old_codger]

OK! I removed the old modules, removed the 'current' directory with all the old code in it, (including the 'media-build' stuff), and d/l the driver from scratch as per the posts.

I'm just watching my 'build' script running now and the error that goes past says...

LD [M] /home/andy/current/media_build/v4l/media.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 509 modules
WARNING: "__udivdi3" [/home/andy/current/media_build/v4l/dvb-usb-rtl2832u.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "__umoddi3" [/home/andy/current/media_build/v4l/dvb-usb-rtl2832u.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "__divdi3" [/home/andy/current/media_build/v4l/dvb-usb-rtl2832u.ko] undefined!

etc. etc

I'll try then re-booting and doing the stuff in post #90 and then re-booting again and will let you know but I don't see how it will work if it hasn't got the headers for udivdi3, umoddi3 and divid3.

Anyway, will come back

Andy

[old_codger]

OK! I've done the various stages of running build scripts shown in post #90, rebooting after every one and it's exactly the same... it doesn't work and the device isn't recognised. This after removing all the code and reinstalling from scratch as stated before.

When I unplug the device and plug it in again I'm still getting the message...

[ 102.316079] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd
[ 102.597763] dvb_usb_rtl2832u: Unknown symbol __divdi3 (err 0)

[ 102.622533] dvb_usb_rtl2832u: Unknown symbol __udivdi3 (err 0)

which is a repetition of the message done when compiling.

If it does work for the 64 bit version that's great but, unfortunately, I haven't got a 64 bit processor. Just to be clear, before I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 it worked fine.

Anyway, I'm going to continue trawling around the internet and see where I get to.

Thanks for the help anyway fellas.

Andy
