How-to: DVB-T USB TV tuner with Genie 619W (Afatech Chip)
Hi John
I've loaded the Gtb-DVB .pet and its dependancies as you suggested but regret to say have not had great success.
When started, Gtb-DVB took over my whole screen, gxine seemed to give errors but in blank screens and Gxine only displayed a very small picture in a window that seemed broken up and corrupted.
I had to kill all the windows and reboot to get back to normal.
It was such a complex interaction that it is difficult to exactly describe what happened.
Xine seems to work much more relaibly although its gui is a bit clunky - but it does show DVB-T programmes in full screen .....
Not a success I'm afraid.
Cheers
Peter

Which version of Puppy are you running?? You should always include this info in your posts
Certainly from 4.3.1 non-retro the drivers are built-in so no compiling is needed???

Got dvb-t working fairly painlessly on Puppy 4.3.1 K2.6.30.5 running on HP 550 laptop.
Plugged in the 'Afatech DVB-T USB1.1 stick' which was detected and firmware from file 'af9005.fw' was loaded. (Cheap usb dvb-t stick bought off ebay)
(Vendor id 15a4 device id 9020 15a4:9020)

Hi, I have a problem on 4.3.1. My usbkey (eBay's one) doesn't work. I compiled missing modules from source at Linuxtv (update for this chip), but it isn't enough. Firmware is from packages in this thread.
Could you please help?
Where I can find dvb-utils/apps? I don't locate them with forum search tool.
Thanks in advance.
Bye.

DVB help
Have you tried a Puppy with a later kernel than 4.3.1 - e.g. Lupu or Wary?? They may support the 9015.....paulski wrote:Here are some helpful links
DVD tv applications (like scan and the script for making the device nodes)
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/Mp ... -1.1.1.pet
Initial scan files for the scan utility
http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps/file/afd ... can/dvb-t/
The utilities were given by paulski earlier in this very thread....as a ready made pet
Does this help?
Cheers

I want Lupu, but I can't...
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!

In spite of Lupu upgrade, Alfatech doesn't work anymore
I upgraded to Lupu. Still the same error.
Please help, if you can.
Thanks and bye.
