Hi, I am trying to get my dvb card running but i just doesn't work and I am running out of ideas. I'm using gentoo and tried the current kernel which is 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 and also 2.6.11 with patches. The latest attempt was to get 2.6.14.2 kernel sources, apply the v4l-kernel and dvb-kernel CVS sources and build everything like it's described in http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/How_to_build_from_CVS. I am sure that the card has a Thomson 7579 tuner rather than a Philips. It's written on the can: DTT 7579 This is an Australian card and we're using PAL over here. This is what happens: # modprobe bttv bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

I tried modprobe bttv tuner=42 but the result is the same: linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/szap/tzap "Digital" using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' tuning to 177500000 Hz video pid 0x0601, audio pid 0x0602 status 00 | signal 90ef | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal a6bf | snr bfbf | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal a6bf | snr c2c2 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK and so on.. but cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 is just empty Any Ideas how to get that thing running?
