I have another (QAM128-proofed) stv0297-driver in a fork of the dvb-kernel CVS (can be found on my website), which contains the changes to get it working with the CableStar2 card. I just don't have the time to include the changes to dvb-kernel. If you want to take a look and maybe try to get this stv0297-version working with your TT card, it would be helpful for solving the qam128 issue finally. best regards, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/
