I guess I would, I can't try just now cos myth is keeping all the cards open, 
sorry

Anyway, symlinking /lib/firmware to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware fixes my 761 
problem and might have fixed the nova-t, I'll check in a second.
And the good news is the 761 reception issue seems MUCH improved with this 
latest version, it's now watchable with the odd glitch, rather than 
completely unwatchable on qam_64.
FYI: I used to use the plain kernel 2.6.8.1 drivers without bytesex (silly 
me!)
