You can do this by putting the following lines in /etc/modprobe.d/options options tuner_xc2028 debug=1 options cx23885 debug=1 Can you split the dmesg output into the following sections: 1) Initial boot up or first module load 2) First access of the card for tuning/scanning 3) while scanning for channels with scan-dvb 4) while scanning for channels with MythTV 5) while trying to tune channels with MythTV Have you tried to watch TV with xine or other non-MythTV programs? (at one stage I did have a problem with MythTV but it worked in gxine). Regards, Stephen. -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
