Hello

I am trying to use a TerraTec Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity USB key to broadcast video on my private network.

I have followed tutorials from www.linuxtv.org but impossible to start the device.

The key works correctly on Vista, so I am sure that the device is not out of order.

My OS is a Fedora Sulfur ; kernel version : 2.6.27.9-73.fc9; my box is a 64bits

1) I describe hereunder all the steps I followed to (unsuccessfully) start the key.

Everything is based on www.linuxtv.org tutos.

a) Installation of Mercurial and download of all the sources to compile the modules.
b) As mentioned in the description of the key
(http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_DT_USB_XS_Diversity#Firmware)
my device id is 0081 instead of 005a. Thus, I have modified (only replace 005a by 0081) the file linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h to take into account this change.

Pierre,

It requires a little bit more more changes to the source code. See Nicolas' patch, which he resubmitted (and hopefully gets picked up this time) a few hours after your message:
