I would like to have KaxTV running with my Hauppauge DVB-S card (Kernel 2.6.9 + udev). This is what dmesg says:

Unfortunately KaxTV complaints:

Can't determine DVB type. Make sure no other app uses DVB device.Aborting.


Browsing the forums I found discussions about udev and DVB cards not working properly with each other. For example I tried the advice here

Thanks for any advice.

OK, found the solution.

Guess the main problem were the missing /dev/dvb nodes. Found an Italian thread on this, which unfortunately I don't understand but I could use the script to create the nodes: (grazie mille :D)

As indicated before, following links provides help on creating the needed rules / permission /script files:

KaxTV works great now. But I would really like to know what went wrong and if the files should have been created automatically or not.
