compro videomate u3 not creating dvb-t divices

Asked by Ray Ward

Hi every body.
I have had this device for quite some time and waited for the driver to mature. Recently under Ubuntu 13.10 the divice is being Identified as Compro, VideoMate U3 (card=46) however TV devices are being created only as "V4L2 video device registered as video0" which is correct as the usb is a dual analogue/digital tuner so video has been created at least. At first I did not think is was working so I put it in a Virtual Box Windows XP, driver and tv app and it worked (For a brief time before blue screening). In the UK analogue programs have gone for good getting this to work is important and goodies are justifiable

The tuner has :
    Supports SDTV and 1080i HDTV formats in available area
    Supports digital FM radio reception (not DAB type)
    Supports Teletext and EPG in available area
    Supports all DVB-T audio formats and Australia HDTV audio formats

There are plenty of supported cards on em28xx driver I’m not even sure if the firmware is right?
Is there a work round to get this working or is it heading for the bin.
This is what's reported with dmesg.
