[VU+ Solo2] wintv nova-t hauppauge tuner driver

[Alankellyeire]

I took my old solo2 out of the attic and flashed a fresh openvix as i have it in mind for a project. I plugged in the wintv nova-t hauppauge usb DVB-T i had previously working and after installing each of the hauppauge drivers and doing a reboot the tuner was never detected.

I tested the hauppauge tuner on a windows machine and it worked as expected so i then put it into the Vu Solo again and this time installed all the usb tuner drivers and rebooted the box. This time the tuner was detected and its now working as expected.


Question is can i find out which driver is actually being used for the tuner so i can remove the rest? Obvs i can delete one at a time and reboot but that will take hours as i found 24 tuner drivers.


Thanks

im even more confused now. after uninstalling each driver and rebooting it seems the tuner is still working and i dont actually have any tuner drivers installed.

Here is the list of drivers I currently installed.

Should i assume that oe-alliance-drivers includes some generic tuner drivers?

Login to the box and run lsmod to find out what is actually loaded into the kernel.
Then you can work out which package provides that kernel module.

lsmod | grep dvb

will produce a shorter list to look at.

Here is the list of drivers I currently installed.

Those are all network interface (Wifi) drivers.

Seems its the dvb USB plugin. Where it doesn't show under drivers sections.

Hmmm....on my system those are dragged in by a plugin driver:
