[mythtv-users] USB Tuner not being detected.

[Graeme McClinton]

First time post here

I have a working MythTV setup with a Cinergy 1400 DVB card and a PVR-250
analogue card.

I have an old Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T USB (1.1) gathering dust that I would
like to add to the system, but so far I have been unsuccessful.

This page
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_USB#Technotrend_Budget_USB1.1_.28DVB-S.2FT.2FC.29says
it should be possible, but it is pretty vague.

It says for all devices I must modprobe i2c-core, crc32, firmware_class,
dvb-core and dvb-pll. This works for all but crc32 and firmware_class. I
understand that this could mean they are built into my kernel, but I don't
know how to check that. I am running Fedora Core 4 with kernel
2.6.16-1.2115_FC4

Then in the device specific section it says I need to load stv0299.ko,
cx22700.ko, tda1004x.ko, tda8083.ko and dvb-ttusb-budget.ko. This is
confusing, because I'm not sure if I should load all of these or just the
ones specific to my frontend/demodulator. I don't know which
frontend/demodulator I have.

Also there is a firmware file, dvb-fe-tda10046.fw, that needs to go in
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. I have done that.

However when I reboot and do lsusb, my device is not there.

When I had it plugged into a Windows box, there was a red light on the front
when the USB was connected, and then a green light when the driver was
loaded. At the moment I have a red light

I think the hotplug software might have something to do with it. How does it
work? Should a script be run any time a USB device is plugged in, or should
there be a daemon constantly running?
