[linux-dvb] Unable to get dvbnet working on Ubuntu 9.04

[Paul Thomas]

Hi,
I'm trying to use dvbnet to get at data from an Avermedia 771 and I'm  
not seeing any activity on the new interface. I've done just about  
everything I can find with my weak google-fu including turning off the  
default rp_filter setting. I hope someone with experience of this can  
spot an obvious mistake! I'm going to drop back to 8.04.03 to see if  
that helps.


* tzap is running. *
* dvbtraffic reports good data on the expected pids *
