But first of all you must change the mentioned line of code to force loading from file instead from eeprom, like my older revision of the card does. http://www.spinics.net/lists/vfl/msg27672.html > I'm still somewhat uncertain about a few things: > > - Is tda10046lifeview firmware (loaded with get_dvb_firmware) what I should > use?

See above, but yes, difficult to know what exactly happens, since useful stuff like "udevmonitor" doesn't help either. > - Should I do "modprobe saa7134 card=78" or try some other card= value? For now with the above modification card=78 seems fine, but for example still no report for radio function. Either the card should have its own entry ASAP or we would at least need some sort of detection and switch case in saa7134-dvb for the firmware loading. > - Are there relevant fixes in the linux-dvb mercurial tree (I tried to > browse around, but found nothing glaringly relevant)? 2.6.18-rc7 should be sufficient. There are two patches floating out of tree currently. http://www.spinics.net/lists/vfl/msg28261.html The remote patch is untested on 1043:4876 and needs some more cleaning. In longer terms likely reorganization to share it with the other drivers (most comes from bttv-input.c RC5) to avoid duplicate code. Depending on kernel/driver version probably needs to be applied manually. Currently rc5_key_timeout=50 is recommended or change it in the code. > - Does DVB with 1043:4876 work for anybody (yet)? Definitely yes.
