I am using a Terratec Cinergy HTC USB XS with the em28xx drivers with Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.

I have installed the driver as described in http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/em28xx#Installation (german language). The drivers have installed and the USB Stick is detected. Here is the output from dmesg | grep em28xx

The stick is identified as
radio device registered as /dev/radio0
/dev/adapter0 contains
demux0
dvr0
frontend0
net0

Me TV Device sees the stick as Empia Frontend Template /dev/dvb/dapter0/frontend0

Having read several answers concerning channel searching and channels.conf, I tried a scan as follows with the following result.

Peter@Xi-2550:/usr/share/dvb/dvb-c$ scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-c/de-Kabel_BW | tee ~/em28xx-new/channels.confscanning /usr/share/dvb/dvb-c/de-Kabel_BW
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

Done.

I am based in Germany in the county of Baden-Württemberg. I am on Kabel-BW with analog and digital. My problem is getting Me TV to perform a scan from a template, but the problem I am having is creating the initial template required. Note that according to dmesg the stick after booting defaults to FM mode. Hence in order to get Me TV working, the stick needs to be in DVB-C mode and the scan needs to be initiated. According the the forum http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/cinergy-hybrid-t-usb-xs-linuxtauglich-1/47/
(the last 2 pages 46 and 47 deal with my stick and Jaunty) the drivers and in jaunty contained firmware should be able to handle the stick, according to the forum others are having success but they do not state with which programmes and the majority are using DVB-T which I cannot receive owing to lack of signal, hence I am stuck with DVB-C.

Thanks in advance.
