I'm trying to get em28xx working under Ubuntu and F8, but when I "make" I get errors saying that dmxdev.h, dvb_demux.h, dvb_net.h, and dvb_frontend.h cannot be found.

I get the same errors in F7 with v4l-dvb-experimental (same with v4l-dvb-kernel):

[root@localhost v4l-dvb-experimental]# make

Any help would be appreciated.

you need to set up the kernel sources,

maybe this one helps a bit further.

I don't know what you mean by "upstream" driver. In Ubuntu 8.10, I did an "lsmod" and both the em28xx and em28xx_dvb modules show up. "modprobe -l | grep em28" also shows these modules. Does that mean I don't have to compile them from scratch? If they already exist, what else do I have to do to get the HD Pro to receive broadcasts?

Upstream means "official", in this case official supported driver.

I'd like to suggest:

Remove your device from usb before start your computer:

Clone official driver from linuxtv host:

shell> hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
shell> cd v4l-dvb
shell> make
shell> make install

Plug your device and try to play your favorite tv application. If you get any problem or sucess with drivers from v4l-dvb tree send your report to this mail-list with lsusb and dmesg output.

p.s:
There is a link at linuxtv wiki about compilation process from v4l-dvb tree:

Thanks. I started the make and so far no errors. It looks like it will take a while to compile everything. None of the other many web pages I looked at showed these steps. (I'm not a programmer by profession, so when I compile software, especially complex software, I need very specific instructions to follow!) I will report back when finished. Hopefully this will be successful.

OK, I'm making progress. Everything seemed to compile and install OK. Here is the initial dmesg info after plugging in the usb tuner:

So far, I haven't been able to find dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw. (I had previously installed a firmware file (version 4), but apparently the needed firmware is not in the tar file.

Thanks for the help. I'm going to continue looking for the firmware.

I'm not sure if this firmware is absolutely necessary given it appears to be the IR receiver. I am trying to use xine (I have a channel.conf file that I created for a different tuner in another computer) but so far have not gotten xine to display the digital signal.

OK, I found the firmware on-line via MythTV
( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_(800i)#Firmware ) at http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000 . (I guess I could have taken this from the CD that came with the tuner.) This contains the the windows drivers with a shell script to extract the firmware (both for the tuner and the ir receiver - the device apparently won't work without both pieces of firmware). So the device now works on the HP2133 mini-notebook running Ubuntu 8.10. Now onto getting this to run on Fedora 8 and 10. Douglas, thanks for your help.

v4l-dvb compiled and installed perfectly on Fedora 8. (For Ubuntu 8.10, there were a few warning messages but it still worked fine. There were no warning messages for Fedora 8.) Xine works fine for Fedora 8.

Unfortunately, there are some errors for Fedora 10. I will post them as soon as possible.

Hello Rick,

Yeah, as you eventually discovered (and is documented in the wiki), you need both firmware files (one is for the USB bridge chip and the other is required for the xc5000 tuner chip). If you find any problems with the Wiki documentation for the product (I did the driver support for that device), feel free to email me.

Also note, you mentioned the Wiki page for the 800i, whereas you have the 801e, which is documented here:

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Pro_Stick_%28801e%29#Making_it_Work
