TV TUNER

Hi everyone! I want to buy the pinnacle Hybrid Pro Stick 330 E, but i don’t know if it’s compatible. Is there any list or some of you has ever used it on suse?? I also would like to know which application to use to watch tv and listen to radio.

I have already see that list but it didn’t help much.
Is there any possibility that a tv tuner work on suse but it’s not on that list??

The IDs in the output of hwinfo --usb and/or lsusb might help with google.

It’s supported by the Linux DVB drivers and uses the em28xx driver.

Most likely you’ll need the firmware from the Windows drivers deposited in /lib/firmware

Open a terminal, su - to root and type modprobe em28xx then dmesg and see if the card was recognized properly. You’ll need the DVB package installed for this to work.

And now I notice that you said you were looking to buy one - which makes me look like a dufus :slight_smile:

In other words it is supported but may need some tweaking to get going - the support for the dongle itself is present in the drivers that get shipped with 11.0.

I ordered it few hour ago :slight_smile:
So if i install suse 11 i won’t have any problem right??
Thank you very much for your help guys!

It might work “right out of the box” but if it doesn’t, post here and let’s get it rollin’.

Ok i’ll post again in a couple of days and let you know. If it works right out of the box we should add it in the list :wink:
Thx again! :slight_smile:
