Mythtv - hauppauge Nova 500 ubunutu 8.04

[Mike J]

Hello,

Anyone out there using the hauppauge nova-t 500 tuner card with hardy?

I can see the load loaded in lsmod and lsusb but it doesn't detect in mythtv, i can see the device in /dev/dvb/adapter0 and adapter1

Using the "scan" just fails "tuning failed" for each station.

Just curious to know if you have to compile a driver for it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Have you got a channels.conf file? if so you could try using mplayer to test it out.

eg  mplayer -msglevel all=6 dvb://2@"WIN TV Canberra"

where "2" = the card/adapter#+1  eg 0=1 and 2=1

also you can using dvbscan as well.

i tried setting up the conf as per some instructions i found

scan dvb-t/au-Canberra > channels.conf

Which reports tuning failed.

I'll look into mplayer and dvbscan.

I'm also going to be purchasing a digital coax to amp cable but its on the Realtek ALC1200 if that helps your question you posted?
i can let you know if the sound outputs correctly.

Thank you.

I assume you have it connected to an antenna?
this is the output I get.

Ooops-Sorry forgot to cc the list

I responded as follows:

Hi Mike

I have this card working fine in my myth box

Whilst the card is supported under Hardy,  the module doesn't turn on
the cards on board tuner amplifier by default.

Try:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options
and
/Add:/ options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1

and reboot

Then try tuning stations.  It'll probably tune fine

Hope this helps

Regards

Ian Bardsley
