I don't have an answer to that question, but if you don't get a solution 
here, maybe you should post your question to the ubuntu-users list. You 
can subscribe to that list at

A friend of mine recently bought a "WIN-TV NOVA T-LITE DVB-T STICK". The 
box is marked with "model 308" (it is a German version). This item is 
supported, it wants to load the firmware dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw. The same 
supplier has another model called "HAUPPAUGE NOVA T DVB-T STICK RC" - I 
have no idea if it is supported. The difference seems to be that the 
non-lite version is delivered with an additional remote control, which 
nearly doubles the price :)

Found it on a German forum:

Search for the filename - there is a download link.

Hmm, Tomi posted a version with working remote support a few days ago:

Run "make xconfig", select "Multimedia devices" go to "DVB for 
Linux" -> "DVB/ATSC Adapters" select "Alternative driver for Terratec 
Cinergy T2/quanu USB2 DVB-T receiver" and deselect "Terratec Cinergy

Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I did reboot. So, something seems to be 
wrong with the use counter.

OK, that makes sense.

I removed the old CinergyT2.ko and the warning no longer appears. However, 
after I unplug the device, lsmod still shows this:

Thanks for the patch. I tried it, it _nearly_ works for me. I could 
watch TV with it, but there was a problem when the module was loaded.

Before I unplug the device, lsmod shows these entries:

dvb_usb21004  1 dvb_usb_cinergyT2
dvb_core   79532  1 dvb_usb

After I unplug the device, lsmod shows these entries:

Module  Size  Used by
dvb_usb_cinergyT2   8836  4294967295 
dvb_usb21004  1 dvb_usb_cinergyT2
dvb_core   79532  1 dvb_usb

Please note the number below "Used by". Now every time I plug it in,
that number is constant, but whenever I unplug it, the number is
decreased by 1.

[linux-dvb] Problem when unplugging Cinergy T^2

[Nils Kassube]

Hi,

with my Cinergy T^2 there is a problem when I unplug the device. Top shows 
that khubd uses 100% CPU. My system uses Kernel 2.6.21.1 + latest v4l-dvb 
modules from . With the original kernel 
modules there is no problem.

How can I help to fix the problem?
