Thanks for your comments! I can report that the card receives OTA HD channels. Both tuners work (at the same time) allowing two HD channels to be received. (azap/mplayer and mythtv both work.) The last missing piece was with the firmware. A script which came with the firmware files from www.steventoth.net placed the firmware file dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw to /lib/firmware/2.6.26-amd64 instead of /lib/firmware. This may be distro specific. I could have figured all this out by the available docs and reading the logs. However here is a list of what may improve the documentation: 1. Emphasize that other than the card module (in my case cx23885) need to be reloaded for compatibility between modules. Therefore the compile from sources and reboot is needed. (Easier than to find, remove and reload all the relevant modules.) 2. The firmware file has to be hunted down. In my case the manufacturer provides .exe files only (maybe self-extracting) so I could not get the firmware that way. Why not just have a page with the firmware files themselves? The need for the firmware file also could be emphasized. (This is apparent if one reads the logs.) Some info on what should be in the logs when the card works: CORE cx23885[0]: subsystem: 18ac:d618, board: DViCO FusionHDTV7 Dual Express [card=10,autodetected] DVB: registering frontend 0 (Samsung S5H1411 QAM/8VSB Frontend).. xc5000: Successfully identified at address 0x64 xc5000: Firmware has not been loaded previously xc5000: waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw)... firmware: requesting dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw xc5000: firmware read 12332 bytes. xc5000: firmware upload Thanks again, Matyas - Every hardware eventually breaks. Every software eventually works. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
