Hi guys,

Firstly, I'm a Linux newcomer so I might need some pretty simple instructions

I picked up a TV Tuner card a couple of days ago. I wanted to pick up a Hauppauge PVR 150, but when I turned up at the store (having been told that they have them) they obviously didn't. Well to cut a long story short ended up walking out of there with an Ultraview DVB-T Plus. I only picked this one because it's a rebadged DVICO which people seem to have had working.

After installing both R5A16 and R5A22 neither seem to work. I did some searching and the best answer I could find is posted here: (the answer seems to be a third of the way down the page)

Basically, the questions that I have are, he talks about "modprobe.conf". KnoppMyth doesn't seem to have this file. The best match with the right sort of information inside looks like it could be "/etc/modules.conf". The line where he mentions "alias" seems to look like it belongs in this file, but the "options" line doesn't. Should it go in here also?

Secondly, how can I get an ".sh" file to run on startup?

Finally, I looked around and the file "/etc/lircd.conf" looks like it has the correct DVICO info in but the remote doesn't seem to be working.

Any help would be fantastic. I'm sorry if this has been posted elsewere, but I have had a good look around.

First to diagnose the remote, is lircd running? (ps aux | grep lircd) I think with R5A22 you need to reboot after the install for the remote to start working (or restart gdm because it needs to re-run launch_irx.sh, or something like that from ~/.fluxbox.apps). Cesman said this issue was fixed prior to R5A26, but I cannot confirm.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the reply. When I ran your command (ps aux | grep lircd) I got the following output (I think it means it's running?) :



As far as the TV Card goes. All I really need to do, I think, is unload the default Blackbird driver and load in the one for card21. I think I have been able to load in the Dvico but I'm having the trouble trying to unload the Blackbird driver.

Thanks again Greg.

If you copied and pasted that, it doesn't look quite right. There should be an = in between the --device and the /dev/usb/hiddev0.

As root, try this:Then press buttons on your remote and see if they get displayed by irw.

If this works, then you have to figure out why the startup scripts got the --device bit wrong.

Thanks again.

Sorry that was completely my fault. There is an '=' in the device part.

I tried your 3 commands just incase, unfortunately though nothing came up when I pressed any buttons on the remote.
