Thanks for your help, I'll have another play with it tonight and see if I can make any progress.

'morning Bryant, I might be able to help (as unlikely as that seems to me :-) I have a mythtv box which runes SuSE 10.0 on AMD64, and which uses two Avermedia 771 cards. Its worked almost perfectly now for a year-ish; the only problem that happens is that very rarely (about once every 4 months) the frontends vanish, and can be a real pain to recover. Anyhow, here is what I do when this happens: When everything works, I note how the cards should be configured: Number Card Name ------ --------- 0-TV Bt878 Driver bttv 1-TV Bt878 0-DVB Avermedia DVB-T 771 Driver bt878, driver mt352 1-DVB Avermedia DVB-T 771 Notes: - The mt352 is the Zarlink MT352 DVB-T Demodulator Driver - The DVB entries are the front-ends I think. Anyhow, they require two drivers/kernel modules, as shown above. - Modprobe the drivers/kernel modules. - I need to shutdown and then restart the computer between changes. Restart is not enough. - I seem to need to run the MAKEDEV-DVB.sh script as root to create the /dev devices. - Shutdown and then start up lots. I hope this helps; let me know if I can provide any other info. Thanks, Tim. ******************************************************************** This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended recipient and may also be privileged.
