many thanks RichardI have had great help before from this list, so many thanks for that.My question is that I find that if I plug the USB device in when linux is running, it causes a re-boot of the whole OS. (btw, disconnection has no effect). Is this the case with full blown linux systems, or just some peculiarity of the more limited raspberry pi? Also, it is a bit of a nuisance, so does anyone know of a way to stop this?
I am using an ezcap tuner with a raspberry pi running a Debian based linux OS called Raspbian. I have built the drivers from the git hub and they work fine. As an aside, I found the installation much easier than when I tried it directly on my PC.
