Dunno how much help i can provide - i got a 'Freecom' stick 18 months ago that took me a day & a half to get the drivers to work for, & 3 days to tune! Part of my trouble was that the manufacturers were using various internal components that needed different frontend-drivers & firmwares, but still calling the product the same thing (in my case, the driver had only been in CVS for 4 weeks). Discovery of which version you have can be done with 'lsusb', part of 'usbutils' (the product-id's are what you need). With that info, it should be possible to correctly identify the kernel-options & firmwares required at :- http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices Your more recent attached file lists "unable to open frontend /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0" amongst other things, which i would say was a group-ownership issue for a normal user, but it looks like you're doing this as root, so i'd say the devices mentioned aren't being created - so it could be either incorrect driver/firmware, or a udev problem... Regarding tuning, i'd first find out which transmitter you're using, then if you're lucky enough to be on one that already has a 'frequency-configuration file' set up kaffeine to use it, or as i had to, create one of your own; I'm in England, so i learned which transmitter i was on, & what it's 6 multiplex frequencies were at :- http://www.ukfree.tv/transmitters.php I'd suggest making sure you have the right driver/firmware setup with the 'LinuxTV' link first, & post any further questions as they arise. Hopefully, other list-members will have better idea's to offer as well... (I should point out that i've only done this on my Gentoo box, not yet on {,B}LFS) taipan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
