Hi, This combination works. But about 10-20% of the time only the Technisat is found by the operating system. I have Kubuntu with a 2.6.15 kernel with all the normal DVB options. The kernel is not the original. The same problem existed with the original Kubuntu kernel. The original Kernel found the K-World card, but the new kernel sees it as a Zarlink card. (I remember seeing that somewhere, probably in the boot up texts.) Any one seen anything like this? Why would the OS intermittently not find the card? Or not load the drivers? I was also wondering if there is anything I can do to help around here? I program for work (mobile sw), but I have not done any DVB or Linux programming. I like testing and figuring out hardware. What could I do to get started? Anything involving DVB-C or Windows I won't be able to help with. William
