DVICO DVB-T Dual Express2 and media_build

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get my DVICO DVB-T Dual Express2 card working on an Ubuntu 12.10 system with the 3.5.0 kernel.

lspci tells me it's a "Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23885 PCI Video and Audio Decoder". Numerically, that's 14f1:8852.

However on insmod cx23885, the driver tells me it doesn't know what the card is. card=11 and card=9 both allow the driver to initialize, but I cannot scan channels. The Wiki (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DViCO_FusionHDTV_DVB-T_Dual_Express2) seems to indicate the someone got it working, but the Making It Work instructions are not clear.

I downloaded and built "media_build", in the hopes that CX23885 driver was more current. Sorry, I'm not a kernel dev so I'm a bit clueless on this part. If I try to insmod the driver that lives in media_build, I get a "-1 Invalid parameters" error. I'm hesitant to "make install" them all over my /lib tree. Is that necessary to just to test?

Thanks,
Greg Bell

Is there anything else I can provide to help with this?
