Hi Richard, When you determine which frontend your card has, check if the frontend module is available and loaded with the 'lsmod' command. The saa7134 module is only responsible for controlling the saa713x family of multimedia PCI bridges, not the frontend chip. Additionally, what confuses me is that the saa7134-dvb module has a dependency of 'mt352', which might be correct for your card (its a DVB-T demod), but certainly isn't correct for my DVB-S card. We need someone more knowledgeable to fill in the blanks for us both :-) Regards JD richard (MQ) wrote: > Hi Jan, > > Yes, I bought it because it was listed at linuxtv.org > (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_PCI_Cards) and surprised / > disappointed that it doesn't go.
