Yes, been there, absorbed some of it, picked up a few tools thanks to 
links posted there.

My antenna is rotatable, and although the rotator control isn't hooked up 
yet, the antenna, a 125 mile rated rat shack all band model, is actually 
pointed within 5 degrees of the tx site, its visible from my front porch 
or roof, where the antenna is mounted.  This is certifiably a wet a 
finger and hold it up to see which side dries fastest as a check to see 
if we're on the air site.  The ch5 signal at the f59 into the back of the 
dish receiver is nearly a volt, the signal degrades very little when I 
turn the dish rx on, thereby opening the direct circuit.  But that (5) is 
the analog channel for us, 6 is the digital.

I see that they have a newer card now, the pcHDTV-5500, which is being 
offered at USD $129 & change.  I've has this -3000 now for at least 2 
years in anticipation of finally having a digital signal within reach.

One of the things I'm not seeing in the dmesg when I insert the cx88-dvb 
module, is the loading of the cards firmware, without which its dead in 
the water.  FC6 does not have a /usr/lib/hotplug tree, so I think my 
making one and putting the firmware there isn't correct for FC6.

So that leads to the question:

Do I move it to /etc/firmware, or to 
the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/firmware,
or to /lib/firmware?

So I copied those 3 files to all 3 places, but apparently w/o any luck, 
from messages because of a modprobe -r cx88-dvb:
Dec 15 19:49:57 coyote kernel: cx8802_unregister_driver() ->unregistering 
driver type=dvb
Dec 15 19:49:57 coyote kernel: CORE cx88[0]: subsystem: 7063:3000, board: 
pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV [card=22]
Dec 15 19:49:57 coyote kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:01:07.2 
disabled

And  then a modprobe cx88-dvb:

Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx2388x cx88-mpeg Driver Manager version 
0.0.6 loaded
Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx88[0]/2: cx2388x 8802 Driver Manager
Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:07.2[A] -> Link

Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx88[0]/2: found at 0000:01:07.2, rev: 5,

Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx8802_register_driver() ->registering 
driver type=dvb access=shared
Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: CORE cx88[0]: subsystem: 7063:3000, board: 
pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV [card=22]
Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based dvb card
Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (cx88[0]).
Dec 15 19:49:59 coyote kernel: DVB: registering frontend 0 (Oren OR51132 
VSB/QAM Frontend)...

But there is no joy when running xine, its a 404 for the channels.conf for 
the dvb button.

Worse, I did have the dtvscan and dtvsignal utils working but failing to 
find any signals but now they cannot even open a device.

I've modified this kernels .config slightly, and its rebuilding again, so 
I'll send this & come back later after I've rebooted again.
