Well, I'm confused now. Perhaps I should say "even more confused" :) I was told that using the stock FC5 kernel, I should install video4linux-kmdl-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5-20060723-76.fc5.at.i686.rpm from ATrpms. Also, in frustration I've been searching google and came upon a page that suggested using "modprobe saa7134 oss=1", so I did that. Then "modprobe saa7134-dvb". All of a sudden, devices appear in /dev/dvb! I really have no idea why adding the oss=1 option should change this, as it doesn't seem relevant at all, but between the two changes it does appear to hvae resolved the problem. So, assuming I get the right options to pass to modprobe, it looks the kernel does see the card and "do the right thing". Of course we're now at the point where the kernel thinks the card only has composite and S-Video inputs, whereas I'm using a TV input. Looks like the default is the TV input though, as "scan" returns a load of tuning data. If I can help correct the card definition, please let me know what you need. Oddly though, the DVB-T200 doesn't find all the available channels (compared with a Hauppauge card I've just dropped in the same box). Using the Hauppauge card, scan finds 86 channels. Using the DVB-T200, scan only finds 48. Swapping the aerial inputs over doesn't make a difference, so it looks like something to do with the cards. Any ideas?
