Attn Hartmut Hm, did you really mean this? *********No I meant that they are modules Sorry 1) You should not try to merge code from linuxtv.org into the kernel source tree. You should compile it separately (but you need installed kernel sources and you need to have v4l2 enabled in the kernel). 2) You should compile the video and dvb code as modules. Don't compile them into the kernel. > Now, on startup I can get analogue tv working in Xawtv IF I DON'T load > the modules saa7134 or saa7134-dvb.

Unless you really compiled the stuff into the kernel -> see above. ********** So the saa7134 module MUST be loaded on startup YES? If so, why does it stop working when I modprobe saa7134-dvb?????? And I am never able to get digital stations in Linux although I can in WinXP?

But besides the module issue, there are 2 pitfalls: - For a technical reason, you must not load the tuner module before the saa7134 module. - There was a bug in some versions that made dvb-t support fail. This is fixed in the current repository (and also in 2.6.20) **************** Should I install a 2.6.20 kernel then??? Thanks for your help Hartmut! After you corrected these things and it still doesn't work, you need to provide more information. Please send us the kernel log messages caused by the "modprobe" Hartmut ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
