Ah.
nxt6000_attach is doing a i2c write to an address only, no data. The hardware i2c routine in bttv expects at least one data byte.
Rob, as a work-around, you can probably set the parameter i2c_hw=0 on the module load of bttv
Cheers... that worked a treat :)

What are the recommendations for putting the card through it's paces? I'm only booting to init level 3 at the moment, but would like to at least have the card tune and hopefully capture to file?
To record a stream out of a DVB-T card you can use e.g.
$ tzap -r <channelname> [let it run, now in a second console:] $ cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > /tmp/recording.ts
More comfortable programs are VDR, MythTV, dvbstream. Other nifty test programs are in DVB/apps/test/, I use mostly test_sections, test_pes, scan for testing purposes. Also see the file DVB/INSTALL in the release tarball or the DVB tree in CVS:
"- For cards without hardware MPEG decoder you need a software
MPEG decoder, e.g. mplayer or xine (you need *very* recent versions
which understand MPEG2 transport streams; xine v0.9.21 and
mplayer dev-CVS-030723-16:39-3.3.1 seem to work);
Note: You must run ?zap with the -r flag to enable stream output to
the dvr device, and keep it running while watching tv.
Examples:
mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
xine stdin://mpeg2 < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
Note: Newest mplayer and xine versions are reported to have
builtin DVB support (see FAQ for more info)."hope that helps,
Holger
