Hi, I just added a Nova-s SE (similar to http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_NOVA-S left pic, albeit with the Hauppauge sticker). The SAA7146 chip is reported by the BIOS summary as well as lspci just fine. But when I modprobe budget the receiver chip (stv0299) isn't reported (the module is loaded), and I can't use the card even if it is the only DVB card. My other cards (FuSi Activy budget, rev 1.3 ff card) work fine. The OS is a SUSE 9.3 2.6.11.4-21.7-default kernel, and I'm using the in-kernel DVB drivers. Could it be that the stv0299 chip has gone south at some point in the past? -- Ducharme's Precept: Opportunity always knocks at the least opportune moment.
