Well, I had this working under R5A12, but updating to R5A15 broke it. Took me a little while to go through the steps, but making it work is actually fairly easy. Steps were : Install R5A15.1 After install, cd /usr/src - Get Current DVB Updates for 2.6.11 Kernel from Bytesex.org wget http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.11-2/ ... 11.diff.gz gunzip All-2.6.11.diff.gz - Patch Kernel cd linux patch -p1 < ../All-2.6.11.diff - Configure make menuconfig - I had to turn on the CX88-DVB Stuff (Connexant DVB Support) - exit Config and save make make install make install_modules nano /etc/lilo.conf - add a new entry at the bottom for new kernel. I copied the existing one and just added the -kraxel1 extension. Also change the default as per below... default=Linux1 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.7-chw-4 label=Linux initrd=/boot/initrd.gz read-only # restricted # alias=1 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.7-chw-4-kraxel1 label=Linux1 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz read-only # restricted # alias=2 exit nano (Ctrl-X), save lilo then reboot. DVB Support now working a charm. I have 2 cards and love it. I noted that like some others tuning australian channels is a bit awfull. I worked around that by adding each Channels Transport Manually (frequency, and 7Mhz is all you need to put in - the auto stuff works for the rest). Then I go to Scan, Scan existing transport (do *not* use full-scan - there appears to be a loop or something). Do that for each of the transports and your channels will all be filled in. I used SQLYog to edit the MySQL Database and add all the XMLTV info to the correct channels, and hide the ones I wanted. It was just easier. The Database you need to edit is mythconverge/channels And now... It just works. Top work guys Nigel |

I was under the impression that cesman's kernel had those patches applied already. It may just be that you needed to enable the appropriate module, and if this is the case, you should let cesman know so that he can include it in the next release. |

Cessman appears to be using the V4L2 stuff : Its redundant in The higher series Kernels. Id like to see V4L2 removed, and the patches applied for the next release. not my call of course. Cheers Nigel |

So nigel, how does this option compare to updating the kernel as in jbman's guide? |

Im guessing (roughly) that its the same Things to note are that on R5A15.1 at least the source is already uncompressed. I just wanted a guide that had it all in a nice quick johnny can do it style. It also addresses the Kworld specificly : There is a distinct lack of good info on this card on the web. Its a brilliant (and cheeep) card. Nigel |
