[mythtv-users] FC5 and Fusion DVB-T Dual Digital

Hi There,
Thanks for the info.

Currently "dmesg | grep dvb-usb" returns the following:

[mythtv at mythtv ~]$ dmesg | grep dvb-usb
dvb-usb: found a 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB' in cold state, will
try to load a firmware
dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw'
dvb-usb: generic DVB-USB module successfully deinitialized and
disconnected.
dvb-usb: found a 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB' in warm state.
dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software
demuxer.
dvb-usb: no frontend was attached by 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB'
dvb-usb: schedule remote query interval to 150 msecs.
dvb-usb: DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB successfully initialized and
connected.


So far, all I've done to the box (after installing FC5) is:

1)yum upgrade (about 700mb of updates)
2)yum install kernel-devel, yum install kernel-doc
3)ran the firmware script, and placed the .fw file in /lib/firmware
4)added the repo's from the wilson guide (atrmps, freshrpms)
5)ran yum install mythtv-suite
6)ran yum upgrade again which updated things from the mythtv-suite
install (about 10mb I think)




Any ideas? :-(


Cheers!
Anthony

Gee, I really dont know if it is the same...

And no - for me that was about it. It started working at that point.

At what point do you get that message? When I run "dmesg | grep dvb-usb"
I get the following:
---DMESG START---
dvb-usb: found a 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB' in cold state, will
try to load a firmware
dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw'
dvb-usb: generic DVB-USB module successfully deinitialized and
disconnected.
dvb-usb: found a 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB' in warm state.
dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software
demuxer.
dvb-usb: schedule remote query interval to 150 msecs.
dvb-usb: DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB successfully initialized and
connected.
---DMESG END---

How much of that do you get?
