[linux-dvb] Re: DVB-S + DVB-T Linux Problem

["Mark Howells" <Mark.Howells@softoption.com>]

The current Technotrend drivers are at version 2.17 which is incompatible with the 1.1.1 linuxtv drivers.

I contacted Technotrend who were happy to send me the required (2.15a) driver file.

I've sent this by email to you directly.
