My USB dongle is recognized by the system but I have a problem with the channels. Please read all my post for any help ;-)
At first, I used this guide: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers After that "dmesg" showed that system was searching for "isdbt_rio.inp" firmware. If I use that firmware from linuxtv.org, "w_scan" shows me an error, it says that my dongle can't search for TERRESTRIAL. So, for using smsmdtv mode "DVB-T" as the default option, I forced the kernel module in this way: echo "options smsmdtv default_mode=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/smsmdtv.conf After that system searches for "dvb_rio.inp", good ;-) dmesg: [ 1327.312795] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci [ 1327.446103] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=187f, idProduct=0600 [ 1327.446121] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 1327.446130] usb 1-3: Product: MDTV Receiver [ 1327.446138] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: MDTV Receiver [ 1327.451833] usb 1-3: Direct firmware load failed with error -2 [ 1327.451849] usb 1-3: Falling back to user helper [ 1327.456026] smscore_load_firmware_from_file: line: 1168: failed to open firmware file "dvb_rio.inp" [ 1327.456535] DVB: registering new adapter (Siano Rio Digital Receiver) [ 1327.457351] usb 1-3: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Siano Mobile Digital MDTV Receiver)...

I tried to insert these options in /etc/modprobe.d/options: options smsdvb force_lna_activation=1 options smsusb force_lna_activation=1 options dvb_rio force_lna_activation=1 to force Low Noise Amplifier but nothing changed. Kaffeine is tuned with many frequency (Light green led) but can't receive channels. The same with TvHeadend that doesn't obtain services for multiplexes (but the signal is ok). Do you have any advice?
