This is a problem of the v4l driver older than 2.13. > Kernels greater than 2.6.13 - The card is correctly detected, but > seems like it can't tune any channel, the only message is > mt352_pinnacle_init > You can fix this problem by using a newer v4l version. Try the 20050627 v4l snapshot. This should run with your 2.6.12 kernel. I never got a newer v4l-Version running with my kernel, because the frontends were split off the v4l source and I had some problems to merge the dvb-kernel and the v4l trees. But it seems that the 20050627 does not work with kernels newer than 2.6.12.
