DVB-T USB stick

[Fox]

Hello,

I have a Asus U3100 mini DVB-T USB stick, how can I install the Linux drivers (debian?) that I have downloaded from their site? I can use the VLC player to watch the TV chanels, but not without the driver.

Hi,

Code:

dmesg | tail -20

and then,

Code:

su -c "lsusb -v"

hi,

if you use Pardus 2009.x you dont have to install drivers. DVBT drivers are included in the kernel.

you have to find the right firmware and copy it in /lib/firmware.

my favourite for looking DVBT is kaffeine. you have to install it if you are yousing Pardus 2009.X.

if you are using pardus 2008.X have a look on

No direct link because they use javascript to download the files. 

Asus.com and then you go to Download
choose
Select Product "Multimedia"
Select Series "TV-Tuner"
Select Models "My Cinema-U3100Mini/DVBT
Then search and choose Linux as OS
Then VGA and the driver I downloaded was:
-------------------------------------------------------------
 Version 1.2
     
Description    USB linux driver for U3000 Mini DVBT and U3100 Mini DVBT
Only support ASUS U3000 Mini DVBT /U3100 Mini DVBT
--------------------------------------------------------------

And a quick search gives:
http://dlsvr.asus.com/pub/ASUS/vga/tvtuner/Manual/e3656_u3000_u3100_mini_qsg.pdf

That was the manual that came with the stick.
I tried to install the driver as was in the manual.

This was what happened:
R60-FV EeePC-TVDrv-U3000-1.2 # ./install_u3000
./install_u3000: line 3: dpkg: command not found

Thanks Bahri16,

I've got it working now. Like you said I needed the correct firmware, managed to find it with help of google.
Your suggestion of kaffeine was also a good one, it works better then VLC.

you are welcome.
