Bug Description

Binary package hint: dvb-driver-source

Hello, i have installed Ubuntu Feisty Herd3 (and apt upgrade) and my WinTV Nova DVB-S card doesn't work.
On dapper and edgy it worked very fine.
Xine says that "no input plugin is available to handle dvb://", so i think simply the driver is not installed. :-(

I have the same problem. With dapper and edgy, my Happauge Nova Tv works, but it does not on Feisty.
When I start my feisty, the video card is recognized and I have /dev/video0.
Even kopete see Hauppauge nova-t dvb-t.
But in kaffeine nothing, i don't have the TV icon anymore to watch TV.
Note : i had installed kde 3.5.6 on my edgy and I still had the TV.

Ok, if I have done sudo modprobe cx88-dvb it works well !
I'm gonna add this module to /etc/modules
It should be better if the module would be loaded automaticaly I think.

For automaticaly load

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

and add

sudo modprobe cx88-dvb

and save

After restart I have a working digital TV option in kaffeine

This bug has had no activity for a considerable period. This is a check to see if there is still interest in investigating this bug report.
Is this still an issue with later releases?
