[vdr] Re: Channel not available

["ville te" <ville_te@hotmail.com>]

I tried to create my own channels.conf, but it could not find dvb-device.

I also changed the firmware  to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/tda1004x.mc which 
I think is now correct one.

This is how the logread looks after reboot. Does it look like that my 
Technotrend budget DVB-card  is not working? The log says that:

Feb 11 00:09:28 linvdr user.debug vdr[133]: probing 
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
Feb 11 00:09:28 linvdr user.info vdr[133]: no DVB device found

Any help is really appreciated. I have spent now tens of hours trying to get 
VDR working.
