<div dir="ltr">I remember seeing a while ago that someone was packaging very up to date versions of v4l/dvb drivers for ubuntu, with a nice repo and everything. In fact I may have even posted about it myself. Now I can't remember where I saw it or find the b****y post I was thinking of. <br>
<br>(I have a Pinnacle 73e USB device that I read will work with the newer DVB drivers. I also know that none of my machines will decode the streams, but I have to start somewhere. The device was on special do I grabbed one, figuring I could 'trademe' it if it doesn't work on linux).<br>
<br>Help?</div></blockquote></div></div><div><br>Is this what you're thinking of:<br><a href="http://martinpitt.wordpress.com/2008/06/10/packaged-dvb-t-drivers-for-ubuntu-804/" target="_blank">http://martinpitt.wordpress.com/2008/06/10/packaged-dvb-t-drivers-for-ubuntu-804/</a><br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Steve<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Was indeed! I just installed, with the device plugged in. To my amazement, after the new v4l-dvb package was built, the kernel recognised it. No reboot, no taking it out of the usb slot and plugging it back in, here is dmesg:<br>
