i was testing the newer kernel versions and just want to give you some feedback on the dvb-driver. All tests are done with vdr 1.2.5 and 1.3.2 and tvtime as the viewer application. I own a Hauppauge DVB-S.
With 2.6.1 watching, recording and playing TV is no problem. When i cut a recorded movie, the process freezes for up to 20 seconds. The freeze happens when i
- jump to a mark
- move a mark back or forward
- play after i jumped to a mark.
Works for me (2.6.2-rc1), but with an old vdr-1.2.1 which I had lying around on my disk...
I will compile this version and see if it works.
With 2.6.2-rc1 I only get a green tv screen. Sound works.
Hm. Have you installed the firmware correctly? see linux/Documentation/dvb/firmware.txt
Is there a difference between 2.6.1 and 2.6.2-rc1/2? I load the firmware
through the hotplug firmware interface. I found out if i boot first 2.6.1 and then into 2.6.2-rc1/2 the video output works in 2.6.2-rc1/2 too. So i think it is really a firmware loading issue. But i wasn't able to solve this.
Here are the kernel messages from both kernel versions:

Looks identical to me. The loaded modules are:

And another totally unrelated question: is it possible with the revision 1.3 card to get ac3 output?
