However if I try and view or record programs I get 0 byte files and this entry in my logs MPEGRec(/dev/video3) Error: Can't open video device. eno: Device or resource busy (16) I wonder if the firmware is a bit dodgy. __________ NOD32 1886 (20061127) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
