DigitalNow TinyTwin on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)

Felix accidently broke my old DVB-T tuner so I replaced it with the DigitalNow TinyTwin USB receiver. Unfortunately it wasn't plug'n'play under Lucid and after a bit of searching it seems I have a later revision of this device with an updated USB ID:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1b80:e402 Afatech

To get it working was fairly simple once I worked out what was required:

  • $ hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
  • $ cd v4l-dvb
  • $ make CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV:=n
  • $ sudo make install

Note this may not work if there are (temporary) bugs in the source when you check it out.
