I found a tutorial with people saying it works; here are the instructions I followed.
I opened a shell as root on my system and launched the following:
wget http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.gz
tar zxvf tip.tar.gz
cd v4l... (whatever the newly created directory name is)
make all
sudo make install
Then I edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom and added blacklist sn9c102.
After reboot, I launched sudo gstreamer-properties.
However when I type tar zxvf tip.tar.gz it displays:
tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' or `--test-label' option
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
Why? How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
