Cinergy T2

Hi there,

i bought a Cinergy T2 USB DVB-adapter last week - and it seems i am unable to get it running on my AMD64

I have the following options in my kernel:
Device Drivers -> I2C -> I2C support
Device Drivers -> I2C -> I2C device interface
Device Drivers -> I2C -> I2C Algorithms -> I2C bit-banging interfaces

Device Drivers -> Multimedia devices -> Video For Linux
Device Drivers -> Multimedia devices -> Digital Video Broadcasting Devices -> DVB For Linux
Device Drivers -> Multimedia devices -> Digital Video Broadcasting Devices -> DVB Core Support
Device Drivers -> Multimedia devices -> Digital Video Broadcasting Devices -> Terratec CinergyT2/quanu USB2 DVBT receiver

All these options are compiled into the kernel - none of them are modules - because i figured out it might be a problem with module loading which it seems it wasn't ...

Is just that xawtv and tvtime aren't meant to watch DVB.
U can use xine /kaffeine, here is a guide (in Italian):

U can also check my little and BETA howto to set the remote:

But xine outputs the following:

Search the forum for this and you'll find a lot. For quick and easy tv watching you should emerge kaffeine.

@Matteo : I didn't notice your howto right now. Great stuff.

Thanks for the replys and the hints.

Since kaffeine is a KDE-application and I am running a Gnome-only system on my desktop it is not really appliccable for me - but I will still give the xine/gxine solution a go

Hope it will work out - if it does i will post so here in a few hours (after I got home from work and gave it a try)...

A giant big THANK YOU to verybody here who helped me!!!
re-emerging xine with the use flags found in another thread did the trick!!!!

Thanks - I m happy now

And: my belief that linux (and it s community) can do anything =)

Cheers

Which flags?

Xytras, is there any specific reason you need these I2C kernel options? My CinergyT² works fine without them, even the remote control can switch channels (if nothing else). Do you have full remote control support?

ops, I forgot....for remote u can check:
Remote with lirc (basic)
or
Remote without lirc (advanced)

either way ALL key are supported.
