Motherboard - VIA Epia M10000, OS - epiOS. I'm new to linux-dvb so started from making sure board works on XP Pro (box is dual-bootable). Booted to epiOS and modprobbed dvb-bt8xx, dmesg looks good. nscan was able to scan 12224 on Echostar-148, generated channels.conf, looks good too. szap lockked on FTA channels just fine. Than I tried to see if I can actually watch the signal, that's when disaster strikes: ./szap -c channels_Echostar_148_szap.conf -l DBS -r "PAEC" & xine stdin://mpeg2</dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 After that screen went black, than fall back to login dialog covered by green rectangular. After reboot card is not recognized anymore: dst_probe: unknown device frontend_init: could not find a Twinhan DST dvb_bt8xx: a frontend driver was not found for device... Made few reboots, including cold one, same results. Reboot to Windows (same box), ProgDVB shows signal level/quality but no picture (same FTA PAEC channel) and in properties shows bitrate but no frame rate or width/height. Run TwinhanDTV, rescan sat, lousy DTV detected only ~40 channels, switch to some FTA (Dish info or something), voila - got picture! Reboot to epiOS, modprobe dvb-bt8xx, got the same "frontend driver was not found" :-( Read somewhere that acpi=off might help here, but I don't know how to pass it to the booting epiOS. Below is dmesg in case somebody's willing to help: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
