[linux-dvb] Re: AverMedia 771 DVB-T Registering frontend problem

Thanks for that - no luck unfortunately. It appears that the frontend
registration just doesn't seem to be happening with the modules I have. Could
it be I have a new type of card that's not in the code - see the unknown card
7b message below

Here's the results from the messages file of loading the various modules:

 Hi Mike,

 The AverMedia 771 should load without any forcing of card types, so drop
 the forced card type on the bttv driver, too - in the dmesg you can see
 that bttv detects it as the right card but then you tell it it is
 something else.

 This order of commands should work:

 > modprobe videodev
 > modprobe bttv
 > modprobe dvb-core dvb_shutdown_timeout=0
 > modprobe v4l1-compat
 > modprobe v4l2-common
 > modprobe video-buf
 > modprobe bt878
 > modprobe dvb-bt8xx
 > modprobe mt352

 Regards,
 Chris
