Hi, I'm one of the troubled cx18/hvr-1600 owners with an update. After some fiddling around, I've come up with a way to get the card to load every time in Debian Etch and a 2.6.25 kernel. 1. blacklist cx18 2. If my modprobe-fu were better then I'm pretty sure there's a more elegant way of doing this. /etc/rc.local contains the following stanzas. The order is very important. modprobe tveeprom modprobe compat_ioctl32 modprobe firmware_class modprobe dvb-core modprobe cx18 At this time, US OTA HDTV is perfect. Audio on regular TV has some very annoying white noise mixed in with the audio with a perfect picture. Any suggestions about where to begin addressing the noise issue are welcome. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
