Well typically I was trying to avoid the hassle with capture cards by getting a reasonably ancient DTV1000T but ended up receiving a DTV1000S *grump* I thought at £20 it was too good to be true ;) Specs are at : http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/tv_tuner/specification.asp?pronameid=382&lineid=6&act=2 Now Ive worked through the wiki and the faq, hacked away at different combinations of commands and tried to get some understanding of what I'm doing; however Ive reached the point where I could use some assistance to head in the right direction please :) Ive grabbed the latest drivers as detailed at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB_device_drivers, however this card still isn't recognized so its incorrectly auto-detected. I did by accident get composite input working via "modprobe saa7134 card=21 tuner=0" but I've had no luck with the dvb. I understand Mr Markus Rechberger has been working on support for the 18271 chipset but I cant seem to come up with any combination of drivers that result in the cards digital tuner being recognized. So at this point ANY help or assistance greatly appreciated. Hopefully some helpful detail below and thanks in advance Lee uname -a Linux media-pc 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux lspci -v 00:13.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) Subsystem: LeadTek Research Inc.
