Re: [Bug 704184] Re: Afatech 9013 DVB-T chips need a patch to work

 

I am running Mythbuntu 12.04 with the v3.11 kernel which has all the
patches so you can close this case I think.

Title:
  Afatech 9013 DVB-T chips need a patch to work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

  Binary package hint: linux-image-generic

  Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
  Release:        10.04

    Installed: 2.6.32.27.29

  I and many others will be using Mythbuntu 10.04 for some time to come.  Unfortunately there is a bug in the Afatech 9013 tuner chip that needs constant patching every time the kernel is updated.  Without the patch the DVB-T chip doesn't tune to a channel at all.  It is a small patch and it would be much appreciated if the patch could be applied permanently to the 10.04 LTS kernel (or a more recent version of v4l with the patch applied folded into the kernel updates).

  The patch can be found here:

  http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek_WinFast_DTV2000DS under the
  Making it Work in Ubuntu heading.
