DVBSkype in unRAID Server with tvheadend, Driver problems

Added by Justin Case over 11 years ago

Hi there,

today I got my DVBSky T9580 tuner card (s+c/t). I plugged it into my unRAID Server (and since the extra powerplug said optional, I didnt put extra power).

I wanted to use piotrasd's unraid bzroot rc13 because it is supposed to contain dvbsky support.
Not so.

Firstly, the firmware (http://www.dvbsky.net/download/dvbsky-firmware.zip) is not in /lib/firmware. So I copied it there:
root@unRAID:/lib/firmware# ls /lib/firmware/
bnx2/ bnx2x/ dvb-fe-ds300x.fw dvb-fe-ds3103.fw e100/ rtl_nic/ tigon/

Then testing it: rmod cx23885, modprobe cx23885, dmesg:

It doesn't look good. Only the sat tuner is partially initialized (I dont have SAT :). I would need the cable tuner to work with tvheadend.

I have no experience in these waters and would appreciate you help.

Thanks for caring,
JC
