Hi, I just want to post, what helped me to get this card working: Kernel 2.6.10 - plain - no patches No firmware needed About 40% signal strength under Windows, some Channels with 33% strenght, can not be tuned always. modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71 modprobe bttv_bt8xx (dst is loaded automaticaly, else modprobe dst) To test if the driver and card is working, use szap and tune to N24 or something (with -r) and point mplayer to /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0. I had serious problems, as under 2.4.x and 2.6.x hotplug under gentoo locked my machine, and it took me some time to find out that 2.6.10 works. I have also read about patching bttv under 2.6.11, but I didn't tried this. Using this card with mplayer or xine (dvb://) directly, did not work for me. Mplayer was not able to tune correctly (using the same channels.conf worked with szap and vdr). Now I am using this card with vdr and xine-plugin. The card is working well and I did not had any further serious problems. Scanning Channels is not working very well, but this could be because of the low signal strength. I have used a channels.conf from szap. Under Windows the card is also working - scanning works much better, but tuning fails often (not so under Linux). Regards Leonard Penzer --
