Installation
- Download and install the latest v4l-dvb drivers as documented on the v4l-dvb wiki
- Download the firmware from here
- Copy to your firmware directory (/lib/firmware on Ubuntu).
- Reboot. The TinyTwin tuners should appear as normal, i.e /dev/dvb/adaptor<n> and adaptor<n+1>
Notes
- Currently Only available via v4l-dvb trunk
- UDEV reports a serial number for easy enumeration when needed ATTRS{serial}
- 1st time around the frontend for the second adapter may fail to appear, just remove and reinsert the TT and it should be fine. I've never seen the problem repeat itself.
- There have been some reports of "works "out of the box"" in Ubuntu 9.04 - No need for above installation steps.
- For me to enable the second adapter under Ubuntu 9.04 the module dvb-usb-af9015 needed to be called with the parameter "dual_mode=1". You can have this option load by default in Ubuntu 9.04 by creating a file under the /etc/modprobe.d folder with a .conf extension e.g. "/etc/modprobe.d/tinytwin.conf" containing a single line of "options dvb-usb-af9015 dual_mode=1" following a reboot you're good to go with both tuners.
- the in-progress driver at http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/ has been undergoing recent changes and it may be advisable to run a hg clone of this tree to rebuild the dvb drivers in your distribution.
