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

[renura]

Hi Guys,

We have a couple of reports from Linux users about having the Quad DVB-T tuner card working under Linux.

So, if any one who has got the card and wants to try under Linux, please let us know how it goes.

You will need to download this

Hi All,

I have grabbed a ASUS MB to finally put to rest the Gigabyte problem, but I can't get magicpudding's code to work?

Here's what I'm getting.

Preparing to compile for kernel version 2.6.38

***WARNING:*** You do not have the full kernel sources installed.
This does not prevent you from building the v4l-dvb tree if you have the
kernel headers, but the full kernel source may be required in order to use
make menuconfig / xconfig / qconfig.

If you are experiencing problems building the v4l-dvb tree, please try
building against a vanilla kernel before reporting a bug.

Vanilla kernels are available at http://kernel.org.
On most distros, this will compile a newly downloaded kernel:

cp /boot/config-`uname -r` <your kernel dir>/.config
cd <your kernel dir>
make all modules_install install

Please see your distro's web site for instructions to build a new kernel.

WARNING: This is the V4L/DVB backport tree, with experimental drivers
backported to run on legacy kernels from the development tree at:
http://git.linuxtv.org/media-tree.git.
It is generally safe to use it for testing a new driver or
feature, but its usage on production environments is risky.
Don't use it in production. You've been warned.

--- All done ---

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
