Mark, If you're getting picture, then you're doing better than me :) I have card revision 1.4. I'm using an external cable for USB, and it "just worked" when I was using the firmware delivered by the script. Firmware I had was: 9025 Jul 19 21:57 dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw Mind you, It's **tuning** (i.e. I'm getting good SNRs with tzap), but MythTV is unable to open the card. Today I'm going to have a crack at the new kernel. I'll re-download the mercurial sources and give them a crack.

Problems getting USBWorking Damien, I have upgraded to 2.6.18-rc2 kernel, both the USB and PCI initialize proper. Yes I have downloaded the bluebird firmware. See below. The PCI part of the card came stright up with a 'modprobe cx88_dvb' using 2.6.18-rc2 kernel. Picture/tuning works fine with kaffeine. Any other version of the kernel/patches I tried all failed. Can you gie me the details of your firmware files or any other steps you did to get the USB to work. My firmware is as follows: 9025 Jan 10 2006 dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw I have even tried a second PCI USB card as I thought it might not like the onboard ones. Sorry I can't help to much with the PCI card. What frontend registers when you load the PCI Drivers. One thing I ad was the drivers all saying it loaded proper but not able to tune either the PCI or the USB. This was with the sources from linuxtv.org? What revision is your card? Its on the back of hte card? Mines 1.4.
