Still it would be helpful to know what it said.
Here's the whole system log when loading the modules: Jan 4 22:19:58 localhost kernel: i2c-core.o: i2c core module Jan 4 22:19:58 localhost kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 Jan 4 22:19:58 localhost kernel: i2c-core.o: driver VES1893 DVB demodulator registered.

I'm under the impression that I should see an image on the composite out when I load the driver.

I got the following frequency list from them, so now I know what to look for at least... : Freq. QAM Srate 283 128 5,9 290 128 5,9 297 128 5,9 146 128 6,9 154 128 6,9 162 64 6,9 170 128 6,9 Additionally I was instructed by one of the list subscribers to get this stuff working on Windows first. He suggested that I should strip everything out of my PC and try to get the cards working. I think I'll do that before venturing into the Linux world again... Thanks for all the help guys! I can't wait to get everything working ;) > Ralph -- Lauri -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
