<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Hi All<BR>
<BR>
Any idea if either the Nova-T Stick or the Nova-TD stick will work and what I should do to get them up?<BR>

<BR>
They don’t “just work” and I wasn’t able to find any answers from the linuxtv.org or mythtv (inc. the archive for this list until Oct’07)<BR>
<BR>
I’m aiming at Unbunt7.04.<BR>
<BR>
“lsusb” shows the sticks are enumerated ok. “</SPAN></FONT><FONT FACE="Courier, Courier New"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11.0px'>grep -i dvb /var/log/messages</SPAN></FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>” says there might be something amiss...<BR>

Also “scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/fi-Tampere > /root/.tzap/channels.conf”...<BR>
...according to “<a href="http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_dvb.php">http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_dvb.php</a> further” implies it just ain’t working...<BR>
scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/fi-Tampere<BR>
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'<BR>
main:2247: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 2 No such file or directory<BR>
<BR>
I don’t fear a bit of hard work, but naturally any clues the above gives to a quick solution would be ever so nice.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance,<BR>
Rod.<BR>
