I'd assumed that you meant a script which creates the device nodes "by hand", for use with older, non-sysfs, DVB drivers; also, "fresh install, 2.6.10" (to me) implied a kernel upgrade. >>> and am able to generate a channels.conf with dvbscan from the dvb-apps >>> suite.

Other than what I've already suggested, no. My DVB-T card is working well (after a few small problems, fixed by use of the get_dvb_firmware script in the kernel documentation). -- | Darren Salt | d youmustbejoking,demon,co,uk | nr.
