Can your reeferesh my memory on where the "gig.diff" patch is, that you're mentioning? The ivtv driver depends on the v4l2 core modules, tuner modules, and many i2c chip modules. Usually one cannot just grab an old patch, apply it and have it work - although for patches that simply add a card, it should be OK. I'll work up a patch against the latest v4l-dvb repository (since I need to add a unique new tuner for Sony), and point you to it. I'll be looking at the previous emails and patches that I can find in my emails box for information. Sorry for taking so long on this, preparing for and cleaning up after the snow storms we've had here for the past 2 weekends take up a lot of my free time.
