<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been desperately trying to get my
AverTV-761-DVB-T card _really_ working with my Debian sarge vdr since last
summer. I have always had bad reception even though I live near to the cologne
tv tower, especially on transponder 826 MHz. After having tried every
available and quite some self-built antennas, I'm now quite sure that this has
something to do with the card itself.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've tried every single 2.6-kernel: Up to 2.6.5
it worked (sort of: bad reception), 2.6.6 to 2.6.9 didn't work at all, 2.6.10
works again. But with 2.6.10 my reception problems have become
worse </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>even though I thought I'd read
somewhere that possible driver problems would have been worked out by
that release.</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>With femon I always get 100%
signal strengh, but the SNR won't climb above ~50% which leads to constant
stuttering. Switching is considerably slow...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I'm about to throw this f*k*g card out of my
window, this is my last try to do something about it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are there any other users of the AverTV-761 and a
2.6 kernel who can give me any hint? Or is this card plain unusable and I have
to buy a Nova-DVBT?</FONT></DIV>
