[linux-dvb] Lifeview DVB-T from v4l-dvb and Pinnacle Hybrid USb from v4l-dvb-kernel......help

[Another Sillyname]

Hi Aidan

I've played around with this for a few hours now and we have moved
forward but not quite working yet.....

The card is getting loaded properly (when I use the appropriate
card=17 option) however loading the em2880-dvb module then borks.....

I've attached the edited dmesg file.....any ideas?

Thanks

J
