What worried me was the error reported by dmesg: dvb-usb: recv bulk message failed: -110 I'm going to get a proper ariel tomorrow and wanted to know that there was only one variable for things working when I set it up ;) Ron _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
