Thanks for the info. The more I look at this, (and I may be very wrong on this as my linux experience isn't great) it appears as though the FC2 2.6.1-1.61 kernel package isn't created with a module for the tda1004x frontend. >From the kernel config file; # # Digital Video Broadcasting Devices # CONFIG_DVB=y CONFIG_DVB_CORE=m # # Supported Frontend Modules # CONFIG_DVB_TWINHAN_DST=m CONFIG_DVB_STV0299=m # CONFIG_DVB_ALPS_TDLB7 is not set CONFIG_DVB_ALPS_TDMB7=m CONFIG_DVB_ATMEL_AT76C651=m CONFIG_DVB_CX24110=m CONFIG_DVB_GRUNDIG_29504_491=m CONFIG_DVB_GRUNDIG_29504_401=m CONFIG_DVB_MT312=m CONFIG_DVB_VES1820=m CONFIG_DVB_VES1X93=m # # Supported SAA7146 based PCI Adapters # CONFIG_DVB_AV7110=m CONFIG_DVB_AV7110_OSD=y CONFIG_DVB_BUDGET=m CONFIG_DVB_BUDGET_CI=m CONFIG_DVB_BUDGET_AV=m CONFIG_DVB_BUDGET_PATCH=m # # Supported USB Adapters # CONFIG_DVB_TTUSB_BUDGET=m CONFIG_DVB_TTUSB_DEC=m # # Supported FlexCopII (B2C2) Adapters # CONFIG_DVB_B2C2_SKYSTAR=m # # Supported BT878 Adapters # CONFIG_DVB_BT8XX=m CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7146=m CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7146_VV=m CONFIG_VIDEO_VIDEOBUF=m CONFIG_VIDEO_TUNER=m CONFIG_VIDEO_BUF=m CONFIG_VIDEO_BTCX=m CONFIG_VIDEO_IR=m # Should I expect a module for tda1004x?
