Hey,
I have absolutely no idea if this is in the correct place, feel free to have a go or move as necessary :)!
I can see this has been covered in the past but haven't been able to resolve my issues following the advice already there.
I have a cheap Astrometa usb DVB stick. It works fine under ubuntu/tvheadend but I cannot get it to work under debian.
I have tried to build media_drivers from source and use modprobe to get the same output from "lsmod | grep rtl" on both ubuntu/debian and also running the make unload / make reload scripts provided. Using the prebuilt "make reload" loads all drivers from media build i believe and it does make the device show up, just only with dummy demodulators...
At this point I forget the specific steps taken to reproduce but i have been able to get debian to successfully run dvb-fe-tool -a0 -f0 as well as dvb-fe-tool -a0 -f1 and both came back as expected, one with rtl one with sony cxd but still doesnt appear in tvheadend.
Things I've been trying are to:
lsmod / rmmod / modprobe
tail dmesg output and grep for dvb
lsusb
installed firmware & non-free firmware
tried to manually install some firmware to /lib/firmware
restarted tvheadend service after i think the correct drivers etc have been loaded
It works on one but not the other :D
What can i do to better differentiate between the boxes to best understand how to fix this?
Many Thanks in advance!
