I have been using the above tuner card for tv reception/recording with MythTV since 2008. The last upgrade was to F27 and the last kernel that could use the card (that I am aware of) is 4.17.19-100.fc27.x86_64.
More recent kernels can not get a lock on the signal.
If the pcHDTV 5500 is no longer supported, what is a good replacement card to get.
If it is supported what is my next step?
Thanks,
David
My 5500 appears to still be getting signal locks on the channels it should on kernel 5.x and F29.
I tested with dtvscan and dtvsignal that came with the card and seems to work for all dvb cards and was authored by by Jack Kelliher .

You need to install "kernel-devel".

That is odd, they should match, although it might not matter since I think you only need the -devel one.

You need to be running the kernel that matches the kernel-devel package or else you need to pass a parameter to make to select the right kernel. But you will need to boot that kernel anyway to use the module.

Rebooted 5.0.13 and removed kernel-headers. Ran make. Same results.

Sorry, I did not mention that I had rebooted to the 5.0.13 kernel before I did the above.
I am going to install Fedora 7 in a VM and see what happens.

Something is confused. Try running "make clean" first.
I just tried building it and I'm pretty sure it's never going to work. That's a really old source tree. If you really want to build it from source, look for something recent at https://git.linuxtv.org/. But why are you even trying to build this? All of this should already be in the current kernel.

The last kernel that could get a lock on a tv signal was F27 using the 4.17.19-100.fc27.x86_64.
All of this should already be in the current kernel.
I thought the same thing. But since it was not working I tried other methods.
I use MythTV. Perhaps there is a package(s) that is not installed in F28.
What package(s) for video/audio do I need installed? Perhaps one or more is not installed or is corrupted?

With the comments I have received I decided to do an install of F29.
F29 works as expected. There must have been a missing/corrupted package/driver.
Thanks to all for your help with my problem.

I am using the default driver built into the kernel and it works.
I compiled those files a really long time ago, and they still work o f29 for me, but it sounds like they may not recompile with current headers with no changes.

More recent kernels can not get a lock on the signal.
If the pcHDTV 5500 is no longer supported, what is a good replacement card to get.
If it is supported what is my next step?
