Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick (330e) on Slackware 13.1

Here is how I did it:

• download and compile the Linux kernel 2.6.35.9 (see https://giovanni.wordpress.com/2010/12/04/how-to-compile-the-linux-kernel/)
• download the driver from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8000292/HVR900r2_2_6_35.tar.bz2
• decompress the file
• $ cd HVR900r2_2_6_35
• $ make
• $ su -c “make install”
• download the drxd firmware form here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8000292/drxd-firmware.tar or here: http://kernellabs.com/firmware/drxd
• decompress the file
• copy the two files .fw to /lib/firmware
• extract the xc3028 firmware using this guide: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC3028/XC2028#Firmware_Information
• copy the xc3028 firmware to /lib/firmware
• reboot
• when the computer is up and running, insert the PCTV USB device
• use Kaffeine for watching digital TV
