good.

2014-02-16: f4 - sdb4 - I booted Xubuntu 11.10 to see if that one was better at detecting stuff. Both DVB adapters was detected. w_scan

Oh well.

2014-02-16: f4 - sdb2 - back to this. I powered off the machine, and powered on for a new boot again. The nanoStick T2 is detected, from dmesg output:

tingo@kg-f4:~$ dmesg | grep -i dvb

it is the only device detected too (nothing about the H7 here). Next, I run w_scan again:

hmm, perhaps the driver is too old.

2014-02-16: f4 - sdb2 - installed Kaffeine, and started testing. For some reason, Kaffeine only sees the DVB-T frontend (frontend 0). Oh well.

2014-02-16: f4 - sdb2 - testing with w_scan, version and stuff:

Not good. Was there something about running Kaffeine first?

2012-09-05: f4 - sdb5 - testing with dvbloopback and sasc-ng: since I only have the nanoStick detected, install dvbloopback with only one adapter: first,see what we have:

tingo@kg-f4:~$ ls /dev/dvb
adapter0

load dvbloopback module

tingo@kg-f4:~$ sudo modprobe dvbloopback
FATAL: Module dvbloopback not found.

Hmm, perhaps I forgot depmod?

tingo@kg-f4:~$ sudo depmod
tingo@kg-f4:~$ sudo modprobe dvbloopback
tingo@kg-f4:~$ lsmod | grep dvb
dvbloopback            23934  0

em28xx                108818  1 em28xx_dvb

Yes, that was it. From dmesg output:

[ 4058.428645] DVB: registering new adapter (DVB-LOOPBACK)

what do we have now?

tingo@kg-f4:~$ ls /dev/dvb
adapter0  adapter1

We have got adapter1 now - good. start sasc-ng, using our cardclient.conf:

That's it.

2012-03-21: more f4 testing, after patching and building dvbloopback module. sda1 - testing, w_scan again:

it didn't find anything in 15 minutes, so I killed it. Testing with Kaffeine: yes, now it works, including encrypted channels.

2012-03-21: f4 - sda1 - I ran update-manager, which brought a lot of updates, including a kernel update. After the reboot, I now have:

tingo@kg-f4:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 11.10
Release:    11.10
Codename:    oneiric
tingo@kg-f4:~$ uname -a
Linux kg-f4 3.0.0-16-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 14 12:48:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

2012-02-09: testing with the f4 machine, which runs Xubuntu 11.10: Kaffeine works with the PCTV nanoStick T2. I can scan channels, and view unencrypted channels (no indication for the encrypted channels, just no picture or sound). w_scan also works with the nanoStick T2.

2012-01-21: I connected the stick to a machine running Xubuntu 10.10:

tingo@kg-u35jc:~$ uname -a
Linux kg-u35jc 2.6.35-31-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 28 19:29:10 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu

In /var/log/messages I can see this:

Jan 21 18:38:41 kg-u35jc kernel: [3715037.323716] usb 2-1.3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11

and lsusb shows this

tingo@kg-u35jc:~$ lsusb -s:011
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 2013:024f Unknown (Pinnacle?)

That's all for now.
