Hi Hermann, I'm getting closer!!! I'm using ubuntu 9.10, unloading saa7134 alsa wasn't working for me so I put it into the blacklist which prevented it from loading and then I was able to do the "modprobe -vr saa7134-alsa saa7134-dvb" and "modprobe -v saa7134 card=16". And now the card recongnised correctly as the S350 and the dvb frontend loads. So, now I've plugged in the cable to the SAT dish which is pointing to Astra 19.2 and want to tune into some channels. I installed dvb-apps and use the command below to create a channels.conf to use later:- scan -x0 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E | tee channels.conf but this soon concludes with tunning finished with no channels found. I get a warning >>> tuning failed. So, I tried both the modification of the GPIO address of xc0000 and what it was originally x8000 which gave the same tuning failed message. Are there some other commands to test the DVB Frontend?

Is it in /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf ? If so, it didn't work - "FATAL: saa7134-alsa is in use" yes, you can only unload saa7134-alsa after you close all apps using it. It is very distribution depending and I'm not aware of all, where to put options. If it doesn't work for options.conf, it should still work with a recently deprecated declared /etc/modprobe.conf file you have to create as a work around for all distros. You must issue a "depmod -a" after that and reboot, if you don't know how to unload saa7134-alsa by closing all apps using it. A "modprobe -vr saa7134-alsa saa7134-dvb" and then load it with "modprobe -v saa7134 card=169 gpio_tracking=1" should still reveal something configured in the system overriding your command line with card=169. I'm not on latest here ...
