Did you have any luck? I have successfully built the drivers on 2.6.23 and 2.6.21 (which they say they are for) on AMD64 and x86, they always compile cleanly and modprobe successfully, creating the relevant devices. However I can't get any further. dmesg: dvb-usb: found a 'Freecom USB 2.0 DVB-T Device' in warm state. dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer.

Put I am prepared to put some work into solving this, if anyone can suggest where I should start. I am testing with a connection to my roof aerial, and am close to Crystal Palace, a cheep digibox picks up every channel with no problems. I notice that MXL5005 now has a new driver in frontends. I have also tried building and modprobing this (no errors, but no visible sign of success either). I doesn't seem to have any effect. (Though the RTL2831U driver looks to include it's own tuner code so I am assuming this is for something else anyway). I can't see anything relating to firmware in the windows drive, and the device is detected as "warm". Am I right in thinking the should be no need to load a firmware BLOB as with some other drivers.
