How-to: DVB-T USB TV tuner with Genie 619W (Afatech Chip)

[Whitesnow]

Hi,
I can't upgrade to Lupu because a wireless building error stops me (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=59291).
I've just post the problem again in "Regulars" (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=59949).

Thank you for help and links!

Bye.

I upgraded to Lupu. Still the same error.

Please help, if you can.

Thanks and bye.

I have TV running in Lupu.
What do you get with
#dmesg | grep dvb

[Whitesnow]

UPDATE: is tail not dmesg. No other useful info by dmesg.

Already done above (used > for output, so no command visible). Copy & paste:

Sep 15 15:49:58 (none) user.info kernel: usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9

Thanks in advance if you can help.

Bye.

@whitesnow
#dmesg | grep dvb will give some different useful information. Please post that.
I am unclear whether your device is loading the firmware.
You may not have a problem at all but just don't know the next step.

Success for me too. Basically the same procedure.
