[linux-dvb] Re: dvbtune can't tune with newest drivers and nova-cards

[Wolfgang Wershofen <wolfgang@wershofen.com>]

Hi,

just to make shure: Isn't anybody out there having trouble tuning nova
or budget cards with dvbtune and the latest CVS drivers? See my
statement from one week ago below.

Maybe some suggestions from Ralph, Marcus or Dave?

Best regards
Wolfgang
