You'll have to go off reservation with the v4l2-dvb kernel modules. Instructions are the same as here: http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18#Obtaining_the_driver You may want to back up your stock kernel's modules that are under "media" before the make install step, so you can roll back if needed. Also this backward compatibility v4l-dvb build isn't quite as good as it used to be since v4l-dvb development moved to using GIT. However, it is still better than compiling and installing a whole vanilla, bleeding edge kernel for most end users. > Can Andy or someone give me the 3 sentence precis of this, and once I've > got it done, I'll write it up for the wiki? It's already there. Feel free to add amplifying information. I think the wiki is broken though, in that I cannot add material to it using the normal user interface. :( I'm no web expert, so if anyone can give me pointers as to what might be wrong with the wiki, I can try and pound on it to fix it. Maybe its just me... ;) Regards, Andy _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
