[linux-dvb] Hauppauge Nova-T, kernel modules and channel.conf

[simon <f.simon@email.it>]

Hi, my system is:

Hardware: Hauppauge Nova-T
Fedora Core 2
Linux 2.6.8-1.521 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
dvb-kernel downloaded from CVS 2004-10-07

I built the build-2.6:

# cd dvb-kernel/build-2.6
# make

After the successfully built i runned:

# ./insmod.sh debug

And in dmesg i got:

--- BEGIN ---

debugging level: 1

--- END ---

Is this the expected output? I'm worried about that:

cx22702_validate_eeprom eeprom content is not valid

Is that ok? What's wrong?
Anyway this devices seems to be present:

/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0

I didnt setup any firmware. Should I?

Now I should try to let the card work but I live in italy and i cant find any suitable channels.conf.

I tried to create my own file for scan getting info from the hauppauge program in windows:

# Italia
# T freq bw fec_hi fec_lo mod transmission-mode guard-interval hierarchy
# C50
T 706000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE
# C46
T 674000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE

But i always get:

using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

I'm not really sure about the values 3/4 and 1/32 cos i just guessed them. What do they mean? Where can i find right values?
Is there anyone from italy who can give me a working channel.conf?

In the end... I'm still at an early stage having kernel modules troubles or it's just i cant properly tune the card?

Thanks in advance.
