I too am having problems getting my Nova-t card working under linux, What revision of the card are you using ? Have you tried using the dvbtune app, dvbtune -f 505833 Cheers Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Scott White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 January 2002 11:37 am To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [linux-dvb] Newby: Hauppauge Nova-T card: tzap error I'm on a bit of a steep learning curve but thanks to Stephen Davies, Dave Chapman and no doubt many others I am nearly there. I am having trouble however with tzap and wonder if you can help, it returns the error ERROR: error while parsing SpectralInversion (syntax error)! Here is my process so far. 1) Test card in Windows2000 box on same aerial, great reception, no problems. 2) Using RedHat 7.2 box, latest kernel rpm and srpm, (has the correct .config for my Athlon), plus all other rpms freshened. Execute; cd /usr/src ln -s linux-2.4 linux cd linux make dep && make && make modules just to get everything in line. ( No make install, trying to stay in line with distribution ) 3) - Download the DVB cvs from linuxtv.org cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv login cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv co DVB 4)Compile and install the driver as per the docs cd $LINUXTV_CVS/DVB/driver make make insmod No errors, all cool.
