Terratec Cinergy T Stick

Trying to get it work with Ubuntu 11.10:

• become super user

sudo su -

• find out USB id of the stick

hwinfo --usb
[...]
 Vendor: usb 0x0ccd "TerraTec Electronic GmbH"
 Device: usb 0x0099 "DVB-T 2"
[...]

• here I was misguided I think

apt-get install libproc-processtable-perl
git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build
make install

• Download the firmware

wget http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/4.95.0/dvb-usb-af9015.fw

• copy the firmware to the right place

# cp dvb-usb-af9015.fw /lib/firmware/

• let's see if the device is visible to the kernel

# ls -ld /dev/dvb/adapter*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 2011-12-12 21:23 /dev/dvb/adapter0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 2011-12-12 21:23 /dev/dvb/adapter1
