Hi Ian I am not an expert by any means, but the following did the trick for me (from various advice from Hartmut Hackmann, Andrew Smith and Michael Krufky): Hi Anthony, If it's any help, here's what works for me: in your dvb working directory do the following (using an empty password for cvs): cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/linuxtv login cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/linuxtv co -P dvb-kernel cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/video4linux login cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/video4linux co -P video4linux cd video4linux/ sh scripts/merge-trees.sh make make install After this use a modprobe saa7134 card=70 oss=1 Sometimes it picks up the card type with the above drivers but not always so the card=70 just forces the issue. Your dmesg should now correctly identify the card. There are some patches in this forum for the on card IR input (might even be in the cvs) which definitely work. I haven't worked out how to use it yet but it is working. good luck ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian McKenzie" <ianmck15@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 8:27 PM Subject: [linux-dvb] Compro Videomate DVB-T300 > Hi, I have a Videomate DVB-T 300 card and use Slackware 10.2 kernel > 2.6.13. > The card works fine in Windoze (dual-booting) but i would like to get it > going in linux.
