According to comments in the #mythtv-users channel, this is still a problem in Ubuntu Hardy.

Care to confirm this is still an issue with the latest Alpha for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 which has a 2.6.26 based kernel. More information regarding the latest Alpha for Intrepid can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing. Please let us know your results.

Also, this report will remain open against the actively developed kernel bug against 2.6.22 this does not qualify for a Stable Release Update and will be closed - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Thanks.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

The new kernel is even WORSE!! ubuntu 8.10 recognises the card as something else, with only one tuner; this does not work at all!

Removing 8.10 milestone since there are reports of it not being fixed

This will need re-tested again in Karmic to see if the newer kernel is still affected by the issue.

I confirm that this bug still affects Karmic, kernel 2.6.31-15-generic with a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T 500 DVB-T tuner card. However, the remedy has changed slightly from earlier reports.

The fix now requires the configuration directive to be enteretd in /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf (note the extra .conf on the filename that wasn't required for earlier kernel versions). The configuration file file should contain this line:

options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1

Thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu by opening this ticket. I am marking this ticket as confirmed because it appears to have enough information to help the developers understand the problem. It is possible I am wrong and another more experienced triager or developer may adjust the status of the ticket to "incomplete" and request additional information.

I can confirm that this is still an issue in Mythbuntu 10.04.

I should also point out that unless you do a cold reboot (shutting down and powering off, then powering on and starting up), the change in the options.conf file will not necessarily have an effect.

Marking Invalid. If this is still a bug it needs retested. Far too much has changed to use the info in this bug to go off of.
