Me TV

no DVB device

Asked by bernd_h_schulz

I use Ubuntu 8.10. I installed me-tv 0.5.30 with Package-Manager. Me-TV works fine, but broadcast over ethernet is not possible. So I installed version 0.7.16 deb-Package. When I start the programm: "There are no available DVB tuner devices". The device is TechniSat Skystar 2
