Hi, I have a Twinhan DTV Express I bought a couple of days ago, but currently, I have problems getting it working properly. Previously I had a Skystar2 that worked without problems. Now, for the Twinhan I have this modules loaded (linux 2.6.10): newdeal:/home/robs# lsmod Module Size Used by dvb_bt8xx 10244 0 mt352 5700 1 dvb_bt8xx dst 13192 1 dvb_bt8xx bt878 10936 2 dvb_bt8xx,dst tuner 21796 0 bttv 153680 2 dvb_bt8xx,bt878 video_buf 22020 1 bttv btcx_risc 4808 1 bttv 8139too 24832 0 rtc 12664 0 And dmesg says: bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:01:09.0, irq: 5, latency: 32, mmio: 0xc0000000 bttv0: detected: Twinhan VisionPlus DVB-T [card=113], PCI subsystem ID is 1822:0001 bttv0: using: Twinhan DST + clones [card=113,autodetected] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00f500fe [init] bttv0: using tuner=4 bttv0: add subdevice "dvb0" bt878: AUDIO driver version 0.0.0 loaded bt878: Bt878 AUDIO function found (0). bt878(0): Bt878 (rev 17) at 01:09.1, irq: 5, latency: 32, memory: 0xc0001000 DVB: registering new adapter (bttv0). dst_check_ci: recognize DST-03T DST type : satellite DST type flags : 0x2 ts204 0x4 symdiv DVB: registering frontend 0 (DST DVB-S)...
