Me TV

there are no dvb devices available (Af9015)

Asked by John Smith

Can someone help me get my AF9015 DVB-T USB working, I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Sony Vaio laptop

I searched for Hardware drivers in System/Adminstration/Additional Drivers & selected Firmware for DVB cards followed the prompts to install them, after the installation I installed me-tv but it shows there are no dvb devices available

the output of lsusb=

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 15a4:9016 Afatech Technologies, Inc. AF9015 DVB-T USB2.0 stick

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b14e Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

the output of dmesg =

Sorry, you're asking the wrong people.
FAQ #353: “Does Me TV support my specific hardware?”.

Hey..I had the same problem with ubuntu 10.4. My kernel did not detect any dvb devices. I updated the kernel to 2.6.35 it started working..Then i upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 had the same problem again, with the new kernels which were from memory 2.6.36...So i downgraded them to 2.6.35 it started to work again...Im not sure if its the kernels but 2.6.35 works with my card...Maybe try that..

Not a Me TV issue.

FWIW, I have an AF9035A which does not function under linux also. I feel your pain but asking here is almost pointless.
