Hello At least my Nova-T worked with Fedora C1 + 2.6.1-1.37, I haven't tried it with newer kernels. > > > I have installed Fedora Core1, with a 2.6.1-1.61 kernel (from the Fedora > Core2 development tree). > I did the same > Can anybody suggest what I should be 'modprobing' to get the card (& > frontend) recognised. I assumed that a modprobe of tda1004x (after the dvb > & budget bits are loaded) should be enough, but the tda1004x module isn't > found. My card is nova-t pci, version 923. I'm loading the modules in following order (I also have analog TV card, which uses bttv so I have some of the modules needed loaded already): dvb_core saa7146 budget-core budget grundig_29504-401 List of other modules that are loaded too (for analog TV-card): tuner������������������ tvaudio���������������� msp3400���������������� bttv������������������ video_buf������������� i2c_algo_bit���������� btcx_risc������������� i2c_core�������������� v4l2_common����������� After I have loaded the modules, dmesg shows: saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'. saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem e2f91000 (revision 1, irq 5) (0x13c2,0x1005). DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T��PCI). TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T��PCI�adapter�0�has�MAC�addr�=�00:d0:5c:20:4d:8e DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (Grundig 29504-401).. Only thing that you need, is dvb-apps from CVS. From dvb-apps you can find scan and tzap. scan: you can scan your channels and create channels.conf file for other applications tzap: you can tune to some channel with this In addition, you can get the dvbtools from dvbtools CVS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvbtools/), where you can get: dvbtune: you can scan your channels and do other things that I dont know anything dvbstream: you can pipe your audio and video stream to file or to some player (mplayer). You can use mplayer or xine directly without dvbstream by defining dvb:// to the command line (mplayer dvb:// -tv lots-of-options). Someone should verify that these "instructions" are okay, I'm not sure about anything...
