I finally got the aver dvb-t card working
two days ago, I am now trying to get the ttusb_dec working.
When I had the aver dvb-t card working I
was running
Mandrake 9.2, kernel 2.4.23, with the
patches from bytesex.org. I used the dvb-kernel/build-2.4 CVS build from
4 days ago.
I initially had problems getting the card
to work, two issues I found, that once resolved fixed up my problems.
- bttv version
- missing firmware in /etc/dvb/
Onced fixed, I could view the
dvb-broadcast with Xine
