Hi Hermann, the card works fine on win2000 on another pc. The pc with linux installed is a pentium 3 800 mhz with RAM 256 MB: I don't think it's a resources problem because when I launch channels scan ram used is always at 70 MB and CPU is at 25%. The card becomes warm after the use, but not hot. What dou You think about errors in compiling v4l-dvb? And from output of dmesg | grep saa do You think the card has benn well detected or there is something wrong? Thanks a lot for any suggetsion. ---------- Initial Header ----------- >From : "hermann pitton" hermann-pitton@xxxxxxxx To : "Francesco Marangoni" fmarangoni@xxxxxxxxx Cc : "linux-media" linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date : Tue, 04 Aug 2009 02:21:38 +0200 Subject : Re: Issue with LifeView FlyDVB-T Duo CardBus. > Hi Francesco, > > Am Montag, den 03.08.2009, 23:49 +0200 schrieb Francesco Marangoni: > > Dear sirs, > > > > I'm not able to make my pcmcia LifeView DVB-T Duo Cardbus working on Ununtu 8.04 LTS kernel 2.6.24.24. > > > > The card seems to be detected but the DVB channel detection fails (using Kaffeine too). > > > > Here the output of some commands: Can Youhelp me?
