Hello everybody, <br> <br>I've been trying to get my recently (yesterday) bought dvb-c tuner working under Ubuntu Hardy. Installed drivers from <a href="http://www.jusst.de/hg/mantis">http://www.jusst.de/hg/mantis</a>, and the /dev/dvb got populated, but without frontend. <br>

<br>Does anyone have a clue what I should try next? Or has anyone had success with this card. I couldn't find earlier models, like cinergy 1200-c, or even newer, anywhere. I'm supposed to build a DVB to IP streaming machine for a school, so I would also be happy if someone knew any other available DVB-C cards working under linux. <br>
