Hi All,
I once had my AverTV 761 running fine under FC2 (2.6.8.1 kernel) until
this weekend when I did an upgrade to FC5. Since then I cannot get the
card to tune into any frequency with errors reported by dvbscan & MythTV
backend to that effect. I remember that I had to modify one of the
kernel source files (sp887x driver from memory) which required a patch
to set the frequency stepping level - not sure if this is still the case
with the later kernel versions or not. Does anyone have any information
on this?
If this isn't the case, I've run out of ideas on how to get this card
going. I've pasted as much information below as possible from my
system. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
David
