There is an alternate source on github[1] but this module is for kernel 3.X.

As I have warned before, the time as come that building is broken.

I don't know the reason why you want to use this driver instead of the one that comes with the kernel, but if you want to maintain this driver let me know.

Hi You either give us some love or withdraw it. It does not point anywhere. Tks.

@JohnRobson Please check if the driver that comes with the kernel works for you.

I can try to find an alternative source, but since the kernel now has a driver for these usb receivers I suppose not many projects are still maintaining/including this out of tree driver.

@takieszti91 Thanks for the patch :) Sooner or later some change in the kernel is going to break this driver beyond what just a few small patches here and there can workaround/fix, therefore I strongly encourage the users of this driver to try using the driver that comes with the kernel, and if it doesn't work to submit bugs upstream. Even if this driver can be continuously fixed with small patches and mostly keep working it is inevitable that some functionality will break. I'm just packaging this driver, when that breakage comes I don't have the necessary knowledge and skills to fix it.

I couldn't build it with 4.6 kernel headers. That's why I created a patch file. You can find it at http://pastebin.com/DHrLfE2h

I did a quick test with my usb dvb receiver and it seemed to be detected properly in a RPI 1B using the driver that comes with the kernel (no extra packages needed), at least I could get the frontend info just fine but I didn't test actually tuning as my rpi is a headless system. That said, you most probably want to ask for help in the Arch Linux ARM forums[1]. Do note that Arch Linux ARM (for arm cpus) is not the same as Arch Linux (for i686 and x86_64 cpus) and have separate websites and forums. [1] https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/

(apologies if at the end it turns out I made some trivial mistakes, I'm quite new with this DVB stuff) On my system there are no drivers which came with the kernel. I followed WIKI page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DVB-T#Driver but modprobe fails. Also worth mentioning is that my output of dmesg is notably shorter than the one in the WIKI. I have also installed package "rtl-sdr". The first "rtl_test" command described on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RTL-SDR didn't complain about missing the device or something else, so I assume the device itself is functional. I have removed (commented) all blacklist entries related to dvb drivers which came with the rtl-sdr package. Any hint or recommendation where to read/learn/...?
