That was my problem! One of them anyway. Usually I'm quite careful about these things but I was in such a hurry to try out the card that I forgot to select the kernel option for the PCI version. Now I'm getting the expected dmesg output (including a bunch of i2c complaints which I take it are caused by the extraneous front-end modules failing to detect hardware?). It finds the bcm3510 but I don't think it's loading the firmware. The stat command still doesn't show that file as having been opened, and there are no kernel messages like "loading firmware". azap is showing FE_LOCK on all of my local channels. My signal numbers are lower than the recommended 8000 (highest is KCTS with ~ 6c00), but the BER is zero, so I should be seeing something, right? If I run azap with the "-r" option and then cat /dev/dvb/frontend0/dvr0 > test.ts there is no stream data (it sits there at zero size). I recall someone else saying it was the firmware that made the difference on this card. Any idea why it might not be loading? Something to fix in my hotplug subsystem?
