Like I said, complete instructions please so that we are on the same
page. I still have the rc2-git6 tree that didn't work, so as my
script does a make clean, it should be easy enough to do with the
right instructions. Like what dir in the kernel tree am I supposed
to be in when I issue the cvs checkout command etc.


Oops.... I forgot to answer this question....

It doesnt matter in what directory you are issuing the commands
below... Although you certainly should NOT issue these within your
kernel source, and you should be inside the newly-downloaded v4l-dvb
tree after you "cd" into it. I recommend either doing this in your
~home directory, or in /usr/src



I built it in /usr/src, seemed to be ok ANAICT. It just didn't work. Bear in mind I have no ATSC signals out here in the West Virginia hills
yet, all ntsc. So I can't as yet test the ATSC side.

Very interesting... This whole time I thought that your testing was using a VSB stream.

So, you're only talking about problems with analog NTSC?

It seems that I might be having a similar (but NOT the same) problem with my FusionHDTV3 Gold-T, but it has nothing to do with the kernel version. Let me remind you that this card uses Thomson DDT 7611, and your card uses Thomson DDT 7610. It simply doesnt work anymore, regardless of whether I am in Linux or Windows, no matter which kernel version. Only digital ATSC (using QAM256) is working for me.

I will have to test NTSC using my FusionHDTV5 Gold, installed in my other box. It doesnt have 2.6.15 installed right now. I will wait for 2.6.15-rc3 to propogate to the kernel.org mirrors before I install it, so this may take some time. The other card, however, has a TUA6034 tuner, inside an LG TDVS-H062F ... not the same tuner as you this time, but still a cx88 board.

Anyway, after 2.6.15-rc3 propogates and I get it installed, I'll let you know how my testing goes. Would you do the same?

Cheers,

Mike
