<DIV><SPAN class=734254313-14062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm having a lot of
trouble getting my DViCo Fusion DVB-T Plus loaded properly. It
appears to be the 1.1 revision (the chip ends with a -39 rather than a -19,
which I believe is the indicator). The card is detected; lspci gives
correct information about the card, and /dev/v4l/video0 and vbi0 exist.
The problem is that /dev/dvb/ is not getting created.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

really like is a concise set of instructions for the procedures required to get

Chris Pascoe's site seem to assume that the user has more knowledge with this

instructions are apparently no longer required, but I'm not entirely sure which
ones.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
