Hi everybody, I have problem getting my Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick 320e working under Intrepid. I suppose the card is supported - I used it with Ubuntu 7.10, but now I can't get it working under 8.10. I have searched the forums and wiki, and even disassembled the casing of the card to peek at the chips inside, and here is what I have found: 1. My card uses the XCeive Tuner XC3028 2. I need the firmware xc3028-v27.fw - which I already have installed and copied into /lib/firmware 3. The card should work with the em28xx driver - which is installed.

The system can see the card, but it has no effect. Under Kaffeine I have no DVB icon. Tvtime informs it cannot open the device /dev/video0 - althought i can see the /dev/video0 and /dev/vbi0 in the directory listing. Klear says it cannot open DVB device. Here is the output from lsusb (my card is eMPIA ID ev1a:2881): Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c501 Logitech, Inc. Cordless Mouse Receiver Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 005: ID eb1a:2881 eMPIA Technology, Inc.

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. Hey I have the same problem. I got the analogue part working (without audio) by downloading the missing firmware (using instructions on and reloading the drivers with the correct card parameter sudo rmmod em28xx-alsa sudo rmmod em28xx-dvb sudo rmmod em28xx sudo modprobe em28xx card=53 sudo modprobe em28xx-dvb sudo modprobe em28xx-alsa Now I have analogue tv (without sound:( ) but still no DVB-T. I hope anyone out here knows how to get this card working.

The analogue image quality is perfect but i need to rerun the commands at every reboot now. Far from ideal. Hey I have the same problem.

Far from ideal. Chris I followed the instructions on this page to use a Plextor Px- Av200U together with an anolog camera as a web cam. Using above commands I was able to get video in Cheese program, and it actually looked very good.

However, the video is not good in Skype. It's like every other row and column are missing and the picture is not interlaced well.

Has anyone tried to do something like this? Why can I see a good video in Cheese, but something crappy in skype?

Hi to all, I've a pinnacle 330e and I've also tried to install it on ubuntu 9.04. I followed the whole procedure, but kaffeine does not show me any dvb icon. I think that the device is recognized correctly, this is the dmesg when I plugin the device.
