Hey,
since this morning I get the error No Hardware Present, in the TVheadend Web interface I see the DVB-T adapter, but it does not seem to be correctly initialized:
Hardware
Device path:
Device name:
Host connection:
Frequency range:
, since no device path is found. It seems like the system still recognizes the USB stick, already checked dmesg, and is also listed under /dev/dvb/adapter0 ....
I already tried restarting tvheadend... I'm lost. And the Olympics are starting in 30 minutes....
I would be really happy for some ideas and tips
regards
Stefan

Some more information, renamed dvbadapters in home/hts/.hts/tvheadend ... now tvheadend does not recognize my stick anymore....
the dmesg output, seems fine ?! :
xxxx@HTPC:~$ dmesg | grep dvb
[ 18.232369] dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T Stick' in warm state.
[ 18.232414] dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer.
[ 18.425226] dvb-usb: no frontend was attached by 'Hauppauge Nova-T Stick'

Thanks for the tipp, I will give it a try.
But in the meanwhile I reinstalled tvheadend with no success, so I don't have to many hope that this will actually change something.
Even tried the Stick on another machine, with the same resutl, gets connected succesfully, but does not show up on tvheadend either. I'm really confused... If the Stick has "broken" overnight, why the hell is recognized correctly ?? ^^..

So
Code:
options dvb_usb_dib0700 adapter_nr=0
does seem to rename the adapter, but without any success....
I tried to access the adapter using dvb-apps and get the following:
Code:
xxx@MSI:/etc/init.d$ scan -c
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
main:2745: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 2 No such file or directory
Is this normal?

Can't say that it *looks* normal!
What do ls -la /dev/dvb and ls -la /dev/dvb/adapter0 show?
(and, of course, you don't have to use 0 - not that it matters, but you probably want to use whatever tvheadend used to think it was).
The fact that it's sulking on another machine as well does suggest that it may have shuffled off this mortal coil. I suppose it may still mount and be partly recognised if only some part of it (e.g. the demodulator chip) has snuffed it.

Hey,
so it getting more confusing. In the mean time, after reinstalling dvb-apps and running scan -c successfully the Stick worked for quite a few hours and a couple of restarts... Unfortunately, it stopped working again, without a restart....
ls -la /dev/dvb/adapter0:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 100 Feb 16 19:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Feb 16 19:27 ..
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 0 Feb 16 19:27 demux0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 1 Feb 16 19:27 dvr0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 2 Feb 16 19:27 net0
when it is working, there is an additional entry for frontend0 .... it seems like it has something to do with that?!
I did not quit understand your last Post, what does:

I'm not a naative speaker an shuffled off this mortal coil and snuffed... seems a bit unclear ^^

Apologies - "shuffled off this mortal coil" is a Shakespeare reference - it means "died". And "snuffed"... that's what you'd do to a candle to put it out... so it also means "died".
Either way, it means that perhaps a bit of your stick has stopped working, so the stick itself is recognised but the tuner isn't always. The only real tests are:
1. Try the stick on a different system (which you have), and
2. Try a different stick

Then to complete my journey through strange English ways of saying "dead", I can only suggest that your stick's not simply pining for the fjords: it's passed on - ceased to be - expired and gone to meet its maker - a stiff - bereft of life - it rests in peace. If you hadn't have nailed it down, it'd be pushing up the daisies. Its metabolic processes are now history; it's off the twig; kicked the bucket, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.
This is an ex-tuner.
