Please attempt the scan then give the dmesg output after this. (I think you gave me the reverse) What I'm looking for is if the firmware loads correctly and what error messages. Also if you haven't done so already can you ensure that the modules mentioned above are loaded with debug=1. On ubuntu this performed in /etc/modprobe.../options with the following lines (modprobe or something similar): options zl10353 debug=1 options tuner_xc2038 debug=1 options cx23885 debug=1 The either restart or reload these modules. Note this will generate a lot of messages, so when not testing the card put a "#" in front of it to comment it out. Regards, Stephen -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
