The firmware 'dvb-usb-digivox-02.fw' is located in '/lib/firmware', '/lib/firmware/2.6.26-5-generic/' and '/usr/lib/firmware/2.6.27-4-generic/'. Mercurical is correctly installed and v4l, too. I tried manually compiling and installing the latest v4l and af9015 without any efforts.

When i switch back to 2.6.26-5 and start 'Digital Television' everything works properly.
I have no idea, what the problem may be or how to give further informations.

Still the same in 2.6.27-4.5 incl. restricted-modules and rebuild and install of v4l-dvb and af9015. The Firmware is present in /lib/firmware/2.6.27-4-generic/, so seems to be correct setup in any way, but still doesnt work under 2.6.27.

Got it, reinstalled Intrepid, installed mercurial and me-tv via synaptic, v4l-dvb and af9015 via hg clone and put firmware in right place. Works with Intrepid Beta and 2.6.27-7-generic. Thanks!

Well.. I have the same problem. When I Plug in the stick, all I get with lsusb is this line:

Bus 003 Device 012: ID 15a4:9016

and off course no module is loaded. Maybe a new installation would solve it, as it did for CypherDelic, but it should be an easier way, since this problem seems to be solved.

This steps worked for me:

1. Get the Firmware from:
http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/4.95.0/

2. Move it into he right place:
sudo mv dvb-usb-digivox-02.fw /lib/firmware/`uname -r`

3. Install actual V4l:
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
make
make install
cd .

4. Install ANTTIP AF9015:
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/
make
make install

Maybe reboot. Plug it in and start Digital Television (me-tv). Have Phun.

Ha, still Xserver detects it as a Keyboard, but its working. Still maybe somebody need to fix xservers-xorg-input-* detection of this DVB-T-Stick. See my lsmod:

Hello, thanks a lot for your help, but I already did all that you told me (some howto somewhere). However, this time I did it exactly with the addresses you told me, and also (something I didn't before) with both. I found it strange though, because both seem to have the necessary modules to run dvb-usb-af9015. Sadly this didn't work either. One more thing maybe. You wrote "sudo mv dvb-usb-digivox-02.fw /lib/firmware/`uname -r`", but the name of the file was dvb-usb-af9015.fw. I also noticed when I plug in the stick (dmesg), that the firmware needed is dvb-usb-af9015.fw.

I used this stick with hardy and I did mostly the same. Everything seems to be fine, no dmesg errors when I plug it in and the dvb-usb-af9015 module is also loading smooth.. it's just not working. Do you know something I could additionally try?
Thanks in advance :)

I don't know exactly why (I believe it was the firmware) but it's working now. HOORAY!! And I really have to thank U, because the way I did it, I always had to pick the modules needed by dvb-usb-af9015. If I did make install, I had lost the support for the webcam (uvcvideo). Now everything seems to work seamlessly.
Thanks again.. and have a nice life :)

I'm back. There is still a problem here and I don't think it has something to do with the modules used. I found out that I have to try several times, until the stick is initialized. The difference in dmesg is:

It looks like the problem would be the state of the stick (cold/warm).. whatever this means. I think some developer should take a look at this.

Greetings!

Maybe it tries the different Firmware in cald-state. You definetly ONLY need that firmware, which i told you where to get. Remove the af9015fw, maybe its for the wrong model of Digivox mini II. Remember it is available in V2.0 and V3.0, and there are two different Wikis with different Firmwares out there. Check your version, check the firmware. Should work the way i told you. I have MSI digivox mini II (V3.0) like mentioned in the summary.

I couldn't fix it. The weird thing is, that it works sometimes and it worked perfectly with Hardy. I'll post the dmesg output again. Maybe somebody recognizes the actual problem. It looks like, if I'm disconecting the stick during the downloading of the firmware, next time I connect it, it's good:

Hmm.. I'm not an expert, but this looks definitely like a different problem. Stupid question.. did U write "sudo make install" ? If yes, with "lsmod | grep af9015" (as root) U can find out if the module is loaded.

This means the module isn't loaded at all. First check if your stick really needs this module and not another. The device we are talking about should be visible with "lsusb" like "Device 002: ID 15a4:9016". Try this. If you have the same, then try "sudo modprobe dvb_usb_af9015". If you get something like "module not found" then look if the file /lib/modules/2.6.27-8-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb_usb_af9015.ko exists.

lsusb gives me "Device 002: ID 15a4:9016". So I loaded the module, rebooted and now it works.
Can I now remove the cloned repositories from my home folder or will this destroy everything?

Thanks for your help!

I'm sorry for having been so stupid to forget to load the module but I thought, CypherDelic's instructions where complete and I switched my brain off.

I would suggest the following installation plan:

1. Get the Firmware from:
http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/4.95.0/

2. Move it into he right place:
sudo mv dvb-usb-digivox-02.fw /lib/firmware/`uname -r`

3. Install actual V4l:
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
sudo make
sudo make install
cd ..

4. Install ANTTIP AF9015:
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/
cd af9015
sudo make
sudo make install

5. Load the module
sudo modprobe dvb_usb_af9015

If this is succesful you should get something like this on sudo lsmod | grep af9015:
dvb_usb_af9015 31652 0
dvb_usb 27532 1 dvb_usb_af9015
i2c_core 31892 4 tda18271,af9013,dvb_usb_af9015,dvb_usb
usbcore 148848 6 dvb_usb_af9015,dvb_usb,usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd

Then restart the computer.

I'm glad I could help. However, in my case it wasn't necessary to manually load the module. I believe this should happen automatically when one connects the device.. funny things happen.
You can delete the folder in your home directory but it can be useful as long as you don't make a kernel update. When, for some reason, the modules are gone (deleted, overwritten) with "sudo make install" U can put them back in their places. In case you have a new kernel, the folder is useless and U have to do it all over again :).
