You have followed a link from Chris Pascoe's web site, this page is missing

How ever, you may have success with the following pages. I did.


If you are using a Dvico FusionHDTV DVB-T Pro with Ubuntu 9.04 and you can not get a video lock with MythTV (no video) you may see this message when running dmesg:

xc2028 0-0061: Error: firmware xc3028-v27.fw not found

If this is the case you are missing the firmware needed for this card. Please refer to the following link: How to Obtain the Firmware

Note:
  • this page was missing because it was archived and replaced by the "how to obtain, build and install v4l-dvb device drivers article ... obviously 3rd party sites still refer to this page. Consequently, to keep everyone happy, this page will be transformed in the near future into a redirect to the new article.

  • Consequently, please do not add to this article. Instead, please add any appropriate information to the newer article How to Obtain, Build and Install V4L-DVB Device Drivers. I note, however, that the issue of missing firmware is a general issue that
    • is already addressed in the article
    • is agnostic of any specific distro
    • is applicable to a large number of devices, such that no device specific info should be placed in the article (place such info in the device's own article, if not already covered there)
