Hi, I've just bought a digital tiv tuner, MyGica S880i, I'm trying to tune TV, but what I'm trying to do is not working.
Thr result of lsusb is:

Z-Star Microelectronics Corp is the TV tuner. It's recognized in the hardware list too.
firmware is installed too (dvb_nova_12mhz_b0.inp)
But when I try to scan it seems to do nothing. It doesn't seem to be recognized by VLC either...
Any help? Thanx!

just in case it helps, this is the result when it starts to scan:

Sorry, I had to try something before I asked for help... I had to reboot my laptop, now it's working fine! all channels found
