Hi Andy,
Thanks for the clarification, I now have a better idea of what you're trying to achieve here.
I think that the new repo worked but I need to do some more work.
Compilation/installation worked fine. I see /dev/dvb/adaptor*/...... devices mounted correctly. But I cannot tune
in one of my cards I get a "No tables" and timeout error on the one card. Hope I haven't popped it earlier!
I did see video on the second tuner card, but there was no sound. I think I now have some problems unrelated to your firmware trials
which I need to address, I'll take a more detailed look as soon as possible.
Question: How can I be sure that I'm now really using the latest firmware not the original ones?
Steve
