The box says HVR-950 on it and that the device "Cannot receive digital cable TV". However, the device itself is labeled "NTSC/ATSC/QAM HD TV receiver" and there is a small, stylized Q following the "950". Great! I got this on sale. Lack of QAM support was my reason for not buying earlier at the usual price. Perhaps the store didn't realize that this is the newer model. I had added the XC5000 firmware, dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw, in case I had a 950Q. But if, as you say, I need a later kernel, that might be why it doesn't work. I have kernel 2.6.24-19. I'll look for more info on linuxtv.org. Perhaps I just need to wait a little for the support for this to be developed. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
