I agree, the budget dvb cards do just that on firing up the driver. It's disappointing that something in the kernel *has* to be compiled as a module, I totally understand the technical constraint in this case though. Would it be an easy change? I'll have a look and feedback. _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
